 High Quality Camera with Great Software September 27, 2008

We have this camera in our living room connected to a 64bit Vista machine running Media Center. We use the camera for videoconferencing with relatives on different sides of the planet *and* for entertaining the kids.
The picture quality is excellent. The camera has great resolution and is able to capture at decent frame rates. The defaults work well out of the box in our home environment (no need to fiddle with the controls, but they do exist). The software also has the nifty ability to zoom and pan, which it can do because the image is large.
The LifeCam 2.0 software available from www.microsoft.com/hardware is simply amazing. It can be used to entertain kids locally or applied to videoconferencing transmissions. The software detects heads in the image and adds in 3D objects, e.g. hats, facemasks, animal faces, and it can add real-time distortions like grow-mouth; and then there are filter effects that change color and texture; and all the cool stuff from v1 of the software. It has our our pre-schoolers and their friends rolling around with laughter.
There are some rumblings in other reviews here about not being able to capture large pictures in high frame rates but it can do 640x480@30fps which is better than TV.
We had some issues with image tearing, but that turned out to be due to the USB controller on the motherboard and could happen to any USB webcam. We bought a PCI card with some extra USB ports on and it fixed the problem.
For comparison, I should mention we own two Macs and have iSight cameras, one external and one integrated into a MacBook Pro. The image quality between the iSights and this camera is indistinguishable and until now I'd have said the iSight's were the best cameras around. The LifeCam software raises the bar on Apple's Photo Booth App, which applies basic filtering to the image, but doesn't do anything as smart as the 3D additions.

I bought the vx7000 about a month ago for me and my girlfriend to videochat. The difference in image quality between this and a low end creative is huge. The picture is great and the voice quality is top notch. In combination with skype, the vx7000 allows us to see and hear each other perfectly from hundreds of miles away.

I was about to give up on webcams. I had nightmare after nightmare - especially with the support from HP. Worst ever! I am not a Microsoft groupie, but I have to say this is one hell of a webcam. The picture is fabulous. I don't know what else to say besides - If you are on the fence between this and another brand, this one stood out leaps above the rest at the same price and more.

This webcam has all the capabilities you'd look for, and a very competitive price to boot. Take 7.2 MP photos and record video at 2 MP quality. I'm happy with the purchase.
Great Webcam for the price January 23, 2009

I bought this web-cam for about $46 shipped. Once you follow the the installation instructions, install is a breeze. It works great with no crashes and lots of features. My OS is windows XP, and it runs with no problems so far.
One thing i noticed with the VX-7000, is that it gets a little warm, even when not in use, but not a concern !
I would recommend this product !!
