Advantages: Apple compatible! can be used on YM for apple users

Disadvantages: you can't clip it on a laptop

My first webcam was a logitech quickcam, but of another kind. I also tried one of those small cheap webcams from HongKong. But since shifting to apple, I had difficulty choosing webcams because there are very few choices available for apple users. I couldn't use i-sight to chat with non-apple users, so I had to serach everywhere to find what was best for an apple user like me. Some complain how hard it is download installers, etc.

Logitech QuickPro 4000 is soooo easy to use. I ordered mine from Amazon.com by a French company (Pixmania for about £40-50)and it arrived about a week later.

I had a bit of a problem installing because the instructions said I would recieve a prompt, but after putting the cd, I still did not receive the appropriate prompts to plug the camera, so I just restarted the computer and plugged the camera after and voila! It took maybe 5-10minutes. All I know was how relieved I was that it works!

Great things about it: 1.3 megapixels means good resolution, quality pictures and videos, light-adjustment (there's no flashlight in it though, but it's just like a pupil that dilates in the dark), it has a manual zoom, it has a built-in mic, pictures go straight to your my documents file, there's a privacy cover which you can flick up (it's removable though so you can remove it if you like) and it has a sensor so you can use it as a detector. It also comes with a panel clip for desktop users so you can have it dangling off your pc. And it has a 2 year warranty.

The best thing about it is i can chat with non-apple users through Yahoo messenger. It still won't work on MSN or Skype as there are no video options for mac users.

Disadvantages: you can't clip it on a laptop and need to place it somewhere else.

I would recommend this to anyone, especially those using Apple computers. :)

Summary: Definitely recommend for Apple users
