Amazon.com Product Description
Putting the power of Windows Live Messenger at your fingertips, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 takes instant messaging with family and friends to a new level of sight and sound by offering great video and crystal-clear audio with acoustic noise cancellation. Plus, you get advanced features, such as automatic face tracking software and low-light adjustment, so you feel like you're right there. 
Get great video and crystal-clear audio during your Windows Live Messenger chats. | 
A universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens. | The Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 is optimized for Windows Live Messenger, which is used by the largest worldwide instant messenger community with over 200 million users. Three key features give you a superior Windows Live Experience. First, the Windows Live Call Button makes it easy to start a video call. Simply press the button to see who's online, and you're on your way to a video call. Second, with the LifeCam Dashboard you can access video effects and control your webcam from the Windows Live Messenger window. Lastly, with One-Touch Blogging, a single click allows you to upload to Windows Live Spaces, an "online scrapbook" that lets you easily post blogs, photo albums, and personal music lists. The VX-3000's automatic face tracking software, which takes advantage of the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom controls, follows you so you don't disappear off-screen. Meanwhile, the camera automatically adjusts for low-light conditions for improved video quality, and a built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation provides crystal-clear audio. Video effects give you a fun way to express yourself, and last but not least, the camera's universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens. Alternatively, the camera can sit directly on your desk. Note that while the VX-3000 is optimized for use with Windows Live Messenger, Microsoft LifeCams also work with other instant messaging programs, such as Yahoo Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger. If you want the next level of performance from your LifeCam, consider the Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000, which adds high definition video capabilities, a wide angle lens, a 3x digital zoom, and a high-speed USB connection.

 what a great webcam November 17, 2008
I bought this webcam to replace a 'logitech quickcam chat' after going through some of the reviews on this site. I had no problems installing on my vista machine and was up and running in under 5 minutes. The picture was positively beautiful (well at least compared to the crap i was getting before). A really good buy at under [...].
Pretty Awesome November 16, 2008
i was just trying to find a simple webcam to talk to my friends with.. this one works fine... pretty good picture quality that you can adjust... no fuss about installing.. takes a couple of minutes.
The only annoying thing is that you have to set it up on top of your computer which is easy but kind of annoying.. however.. you would have to do this with any webcam so it doesn't really matter
overall I'd say it was worth the money and is working out great for me
Easy to Install November 16, 2008
This web camera is really easy to install. The picture is a little grainy but for the price, it is a good deal.
 The camera was unusable due to poor driver software November 16, 2008
I thought this camera would be a good value for use in video conferencing between my daughter and her grandparents. Unfortunately, I found the software fraught with problems. First, on install, the driver software refused to recognize the camera microphone. Several reboots and re-installations eventually resolved the issue. When I downloaded the latest driver from Microsoft, I found the install routine trips an exception in the .Net framework, thereby preventing me from using the latest drivers. The final nail came when the camera microphone showed itself apparently incompatible with AOL IM (the video worked, but no audio). This was with the latest version of AOL IM. I finally returned the camera in disgust.
The camera was installed on an XP machine that is maintained current with patches and updates, and has no unusual modifications or software running in the background.
Great Value November 12, 2008
We bought this camera to replace a previous camera. Resolution is terrific and the microphone picks up sounds from a rather large area. Great buy for the price!
