Customer Reviews

keep in touch
excellent resolution and clarity. keep in touch with family. this was worth the upgrade from the 4000 model

amazing webcam
if your looking for a very good quality of webcam, i highly recommed this webcam its amazing how clear it show. No regret for buying this webcam, its the best.

Not so great in linux, fine in windows
Originally I bought this to use it with Skype in linux (gentoo 2007.0). It is supported to a minimal extent (by a 3rd party driver, not logitech), and wouldn't work with Skype. The various hoops that had to be jumped though to get the small amount of functionality out of it that I did were certainly not worth it.

I ended up trading it with someone who had a QC Pro 4000. That camera uses the pwc driver, and works just fine (skype, mplayer, whatever). If you are using linux, I would suggest going for a 3000, 4000, or a 9000.

On the upside, this worked fine in windows (XP), so my trading it was no big deal. He didn't even have to change the driver/software from Logitech to make it work. We have used it in skype from windows many times with no problem.
