You do need Windows XP or above the box says so it may not be suitable for older computers. It takes still pictures at 0.3 mpx which is not something my dad does and most mobile phones take better ones, but as a webcam it's spot on. As it's square it sits nicely on the top of the laptop screen and holds tight, in fact you can leave it on there like my d...more

Microsoft Lifecam VX-700: can you see me? (655 words)

Well let me start by saying web cams are not something I think very highly of. Only because I hate seeing myself on camera loll. After much nagging from a very old friend in America I decided to go out and by one, so we could chat on msn. I did not want to spend a lot of money, as I knew it would not be something that I would use that often, so I browsed through Argos and saw the Microsoft VX700. It was reasonable priced at £14.79p. So I decided to purchase this as it seemed cheap enough. In all honesty I did not expect it to be that great in quality considering the price and how much you can pay for other web cams. So I took the small box home and opened it up. The ...  Read the complete review

The Microsoft Lifecam VX 700 isn't a top of the range webcam but it's not a basic model either - but it's probably the lower end of the scale. I bought it in Asda for £10, when the only other options were paying £5 for a VERY cheap looking own brand one or £30+ for a very fancy looking one. It was for my dad, who doesn't have a built in camera on his laptop, so we could chat on Skype, as I live 60 miles away. Setting up was a doddle - just plug in the integrated USB cable and off you go. Everything worked right away with no drivers -probably because it is a Microsoft product - including the built in mic which we were pleased to find was very good quality for ...  Read the complete review

I bought this webcam on offer so it cost me about £8 or £9, which I think is an adequate pricing for this product- I don't think it is worth the £15 or £16 it is selling for in Argos or Amazon at the moment. The main pull of this webcam above others though is that it requires no software- which is great for scatty people like me who often lose software CDs or if your computer is a bit old and doesn't get on with many newer programs. The webcam worked straight out of the box, all I had to do was plug in and play and it was immediatly recognised by my chat software. The webcam gently clips onto your laptop screen and although it might seem a little ...  Read the complete review

I bought the MS Lifecam VX 700 y'day at Asda's, paying £10. I had expected to pay some £20+ for a webcam but the only other camera on sale at Asda at that time was an own-brand at around £5. Right away I was impressed with the simple plug-in-and-go; no drivers, CDs, updates. Plugged it into the USB and almost immediately it was ready for use. 2 mins later I was on Skype and the pic and sound were pretty good indeed'. During a Skype video call you are prompted to take pics in the normal way. This latest model has a built-in microphone but no zoom. I haven't yet discovered a way to adjust focus (there are no instructions at all) but I'll search for my answer in the tech ...  Read the complete review
