 Great Webcam!!!, 2008-09-06
My friend originally had the VX-3000, and when I always went to his house, he let me explore his computer and that he was always uploading videos of himself to Youtube. So I decided to get a webcam that moved faster (the VX-3000 has a very slow framerate) and had great quality (the VX-3000 didn't have great quality and there was always buzz around the video). So I bought this webcam, because it was the third highest on Amazon (the first and second were the VX-3000 alone or in a double pack), it was in silver so that if it's accidently dropped, it won't fall, and that it also worked as a camera to take pictures or take video in High Definition. I highly recommend this webcam if you're looking to buy a great Microsoft product.
 Nice camera, works well, good features, 2008-09-01
I got this because of the combined microphone and the higher resolution camera. In the end, I'm not sure if it would be worth the extra price of this over the VX-3000, but I'm happy with the product.
I love the web camera. The zoom and effects are pretty cool. It is real easy to turn face tracking on and off. The face tracking does seem to work. The effects are not. My kids get a kick as I can make an effect of stars, it will make stars twinkle in the web view. It does hang on a laptop no sweat or a LCD panel monitor. There is a twist so you can focus as well.
The microphone is only as good as your environment. It does seem to pick up noise from old monitor-CRT, and may be better off with a LCD monitor with no interference.
The camera came with old driver software. You have to go download driver software. This is the other reason I bought this camera. Microsoft support. I could find the latest drivers to download very easily and they installed great. Easy to check for updates. I'm pretty sure Microsoft will continue to update the drivers.
What I don't like. The product is microsoft centric. When you start up your computer it works well if you plan to use Live Call or Messenger. It has a one click button. That can be painful. That feature is not helpful and almost annoying. When I move the camera and if I accidently touch the top button it cycles and has to start Messenger/Live Call.
Skype-yes it works with skype, wouldn't trade Skype for anything else.
wide angle lens on webcam, 2008-08-29
Purchased 2 webcams for my relatives, because we like to chat and see each other over skype software. the wide angle lens allows 2 people or more to be seen. the quality is above average but not "outstanding" a lot may have to do with the computer that is used with. It has other features that I have not seen in action.

 Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000, 2008-08-04
Decent web cam. Takes OK pictures and video but the effects included could be better.

Focus problems, 2008-07-30
Good product for typical intended use. Great resolution, sharp image. Unfortunately, I wanted to use it for a time lapse of a constrution project. It won't focus beyond 10 m (or 30 feet).
