The best webcam out there!, January 6, 2009
The Logitech Qickcam Orbit is the most incredible webcam I have ever used. It has Ziess lens for the best clarity. What I really love is the it gives you the option for still video, or motion sensitive. It follows you as you move around, keeping it in constant focus. It is like having an assistant moving the camera to follow you as you move about! It also comes with a 10 inch high stick whaich lets you raise the camera a foot in the air instead of on the desk. It is a little on the expensive side, but well worth it!!

This camera is FUN!, December 16, 2008
I decided to purchase a webcam, and as long as I was going to get one I figured I might as well get a good one. I had a dinky one many years ago, so old it wouldn’t even work with today’s operating systems. One feature I knew I wanted the new cam to have is autofocus. This Logitech Orbit delivers a beautiful picture indeed. I’ve read just about all the previous reviews, the positive and the negative. Yes, the servo that controls the “follow me” movement of the camera isn’t perfect, but it’s good and I’ll learn how to work with it. The manual controls are easy to use anyway and they work fine. The built in microphone is excellent. All the other commenters that said how easy the driver is to install are all correct. Setup was a piece of cake (you do have to disable any security software prior to installation.) For me, the most pleasant surprise was all the little features like avatars etc. They are really fun! In sum, great pictures, great sound, easy install, great extras. I love it! I wish I had enough technical expertise to know how to set the webcam away from the computer, to use like a security cam. I’d appreciate any suggestions.

We love it!, August 31, 2008
We live overseas and it’s very hard on us and our family back home because we only get to visit once a year. I bought this Quick Cam to use with the online web site that we had just joined for video calling via the computer with friends and family. It’s a great product. The picture and sound are very clear. It was very easy to set up and begin using. My 8 year old thinks it’s great and loves using it. It’s nice because it follows you when you move so when we are communicating with someone via the web they don’t lose sight of you. I would definitely recommend this product, especially to those in the same situation as we are.

Great Features, Great Price, Great Cam…Works as Surveillance too!, June 14, 2008
My main use for this camera is Surveillance. Let me explain….

I use this camera to scope out my back yard during the night. Within the included software, you can set the Motion Censor to capture people, objects or anything else that moves. When the object or person crosses within the field of vision of the camera, it will automatically start recording onto your computer. Now, I suggest using a motion censor light to brighten the area you would like to view because the Auto Bright setting on the camera is just ok. The camera does not see in the dark well if not at all.

Now thats my personal use. Obviously you can use this camera to chat with friends, or post videos on youtube. I use this camera for so many different things its amazing!
