Question: I am a complete noob at webcams but are there any installation requirements? And does the order come with JUST the webcam? (aside from instructions)
Document: I  picked this up for my teenagers to Skype with their grandparents; we use it on our end because the grandparents care about getting a good look at the kids more than the other way around. I have not had any previous webcam experience aside from the webcams that come built into laptops, but I found the Lifcam to be easy to set up and user-friendly. We had it working within 5 minutes.
One of the best webcams I onwed. Picture quality exceeds what logitech can offer. True 720p if you are using windows 7 and NVDIA Graphics. The only downside is when using this on a lowlight condition, frame rates drop, exposure becomes great and will make you look pale. Anyways, why use webcam on a dim room? aha! Picture, video, sound quality is great! Good match for laptops. fits snugly on the lcd frame. just make sure you have the minimum requirements before buying this.
Considering all laptops and desktop screens come in widescreen flavors nowadays, its nice that webcams are finally catching up to fit in the expanded screen real estate.The built-in mic leaves a bit to be desired. If you want clearer sound quality, I would recommend purchasing a separate headset. Despite this drawback, this seems to be the best webcam I have seen yet and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Then, I decided it was time for me to get a new webcam. I was thinking about going back to VX-1000 but I decided to go high tech and try out the HD webcams. I was one step close to buying Logitech's HD cams but I decided to stick with Microsoft's brands yet again.Installing the product was simple like my VX version. After installation, I decided to compare Cinema and VX-1000. Let me tell ya...
When it first arrived it was much smaller then I expected which sort of worried me at first but have no fear sometimes good things "really" do come in small packages. I had the camera installed and up and running in about five minutes so even the least advanced pc newbie should have no problem with installation.
I can't really fault it -- webcams are primarily designed to focus on people's faces a foot or two away. So I needed something with variable focus. Logitech does make a few HD webcams with autofocusing lenses, but I was drawn to the LifeCam Cinema based on some very impressive videos I had seen.Installation on Vista (ugh) as well as XP went without a hitch.
I bought this webcam so I may create clear video instructions to embed into a Natural Eyesight Improvement E-book PDF. I need it to show fine print up close, clear and it does!! Also clear for distant but I do need to move the camera outside my window or closer to it for the camera to focus on far distant objects. Its good! Has a wide view screen.
good product, especially for filming!!! excellent quality! if using online web, better have a high speed line in order for the webcam to work at its best. if not, dont blame the webcam. low connection will result in low quality. in overall, definitely 5 out of 5.
I live and work in Afghanistan, okay ? I hop on helocopters with tools and equipment and my laptop, and sometimes I actually have internet service ! ! ! This is THE best webcam I have ever owned ! It is NOT flimsy ! IT is durable, and pretty wildly adjustable, as well as a fantastic image ! ! ! Now, if I were in the States, most of this imagery would come through Yahoo Messenger to the other end, to who you are speaking with.
There isn't a lot of camera control available within Skype and the special effects (like sticking animal ears on yourself) only seem to exist within the Lifecam recording software and are not available with Skype. If you don't follow the provided install instructions, just plug the thing in then download the right software and load it afterward then it's worth 4 stars. If you follow the instructions and use the provided install CD you will need to uninstall Lifecam before applications like Skype can use the webcam without crashing.
Answer: just plug and play. I think it comes with a cd...but it's not needed...just pug into pc and it installs...best of luck...regards...dr raj
