Logitech QuickCam Chat

I only got it for nostalgia and the funny low frame rate, you do have to go to a old software library website and download an old Logitech webcam program specifically for it to get it working but once you do you can mess with the settings to get pretty good framerate for the price as well as change lighting and whatnot.

As a linux user, I've all too often run into poor hardware support from vendors who only know of or support ms windows, so it was with some trepidation that I recently looked for a reasonably priced webcam. When I saw the logitech quickcam chat, I figured it was hard to go too far wrong for the price, but as it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works fairly nicely, and it was surprisingly little fuss to set up.I merely followed the instructions in the suse webcam wiki at [...] and I was up and running in a few minutes, chatting with kopete on a yahoo connection to a friend in another state.I rate it at 4 stars only because the quality of the images is not as good as it could be - but for a cheap webcam it's perfectly acceptable.

easy to install. Only problem is it stays on constantly. Not sure how to shut it off.It does have a way to adjust the picture. It comes in nice and bright but sometimes is kind of fuzzy and not clear.

This was one of the worst cams I have ever purchased since learned my lesson going to save up for one of those digital handheld camcorders instead with better resolution and megapixels. This was aweful the picture was grainy horrible experience wouldn't buy another. I use them mostly to do my expotv product reviews this wasn't working for what I wanted it for. So I am saving up to someday get a aiptek digital handheld camcorder or one of those flip ones instead. this is okay maybe for yahoo messenger if that .I definitly like my Creative Live one better. My other logitech which was the quick cam im messenger or something the gray one my boyfriend gave me worked alot better had better resolution this one wouldn't recommend it get what you pay for kind of a thing .

I just bought this web camera from this seller. I can't get it to work well. Basically, it was a rip off. I had a very difficult time installing the program. After that, it started working but not the way it should. The speakers and the camera part of it work, but it was unclear and made myself look unusual, but i just can't get the built in microphone to work. Do not buy this! it is a waste of my money and now I can't even use it. Please, I hope I convinced you not to buy it.

My brother and I have video chatted over the past few months, but his frame rates were very low and the video pixelated. He has a cable modem, so speed isn't an issue. So it was quite a shock when we video chatted yesterday evening...his video was not only clear, but streaming nicely with full motion and the built-in mic picked up his voice clearly. The performance was annoyingly close to my expensive camcorder doing double-duty as a webcam! He isn't using bleeding-edge equipment either: A Pentium III E-Machines, with USB 1.0 ports. If this camera can put some life back into that old goat, then this webcam is pretty darn good.

This is a great camera for the price. Now don't buy this camera if you are looking for high-definition video from it. I have this camera just to be able to talk to family and friends out of state and out of the country. It is reliable and provides the video I need to be able to see and talk with the people in my life. You can't beat an under $20 camera with this quality. Don't forget about the reputation that Logitech has. I've been using their products for years and love every single one! This camera comes with software that has some great features like low-light adjustment, brightness, contrast, and color. If you need a great camera and a great price, Logitech Quick Cam Chat!

This product works well, I wish it had a microphone. Kind of hard to set level on top of your monitor. Focus is adjustable.
