Logitech Quickcam Express

Logitech Quickcam Express I got a webcam 2 years ago as I was moving to the UK and it would enable me to keep in contact with my dad who also has the same webcam. Logitech Quickcam Express is like a mini digital video camera. Quickcam Express can bought starting from £10 at www.novatech.co.uk up to around £30 from www.dell.co.uk. I bought mine on promotion 2 webcams for £30. Or on Ebay starting at 99p to about £10. Just shop around to find the cheapest deal for you. The webcam is a ball shape with a small bit at the bottom that fits into the stand that comes with it. The stand acts like a small tripod so it doesn't fall off the top of ...  Read the complete review

~Remember thinking about how great it would be to own a webcam? Remember imagining how great it would be to have a video chat with a friend over the Internet? I do. I remember thinking about the ease of use and the TV like picture quality that we can get from our webcam.~ Waking up and seeing video footage from NASA TV and the like I soon realized that a webcam was not really going to be the quality that I had hoped for. I thought that getting Broadband internet would solve the problem, and the oodles of bandwidth would allow me to send and receive good quality live video. So when I got the Broadband last September, a webcam soon went first place on my wish ...  Read the complete review

I've heard a lot of criticism of the Logitech Quickcam Express - some of it justified and some of it perhaps not. I think though that for home use, it really is a rather good little camera. It may not stand up to two-hour transatlantic video conferences, but then why are you buying a £40 camera if you need to make use of those sorts of application? Go and buy a professional camera you cheapskate! ;-) It all depends what you're going to use your camera for really. I think this camera is aimed at those who will use it to capture still images and perhaps to send video e-mail. It can be used for video conferencing and can be set up as a webcam, but ...  Read the complete review

The Logitech QuickCam is worth it's price. It has an affordable price to match the affordable image it produces. This can be a good starter web cam, for those interested in video conferencing or chat, but it's not for those who are interested in producing high-end graphics and video. The stand is smartly designed to fit neatly on the top of your moniter or on any ledge. The stand is designed to allow the camera to swivel and turn easily, yet stay where you position it. The camera can also be easily removed from the stand and held in the hand. The small ring on the front of the unit allows some focussing ability. However, the 4 foot cord does not allow ...  Read the complete review
