Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 Webcam

THE best webcam in this price class!

Strengths: Great quality, high resolution, and works very well in low light!

Weakness: Not really a big weakness, but the camera is so light the cord can almost tip it over if you are not careful. (depending on how you set it up)

Bought a Microsoft VX-6000 a few days ago, thinking it would be the better choice since I like to use MSN Messenger. Unless you sit outside or have outside light hitting you, indoor lighting is not enough to get a good quality picture, it turns very grainy in low light. Returned the MS one, and got this Logitech one... what a difference!!! Day and night difference! Not only does this one have way...

Excellent, Yet Myopic

Strengths: Very sharp focus at close range. Auto or manual focus, amazing macro, digital zoom, pan and tilt (image shift) when zoomed. Color, exposure controls - all via software.

Weakness: Near-sighted camera. Cannot focus worth beans beyond 8 or 10 feet.

I purchased this camera solely based on the claims of image sharpness. This is absolutely true for objects closer than perhaps 5 feet - down to 2 inches from the camera. But the camera cannot focus at all on objects farther than 8-10 feet. Too bad they don't mention this in the ads. For most folks who want to use it for personal chat - this is a truly great camera - you'll be very happy with it....

WOULD BE A GREAT CAM IF THE FEATURES IT CAME WITH...

Strengths: Video Quality, Cute Video Effects

Weakness: Features Sold With Unit Do Not Work/Create Problems, Have To Disconnect/Reconnect To Be Recognized At Times, Can Easily Tip On LCD Screens (No Spring Tension) On Arm

Before I had purchased this webcam I was diligent in researching the product online and in the forums on the Logitech website. Without finding any major issues with it I ordered it and as soon as I received it I installed the software, plugged in the webcam, configured the audio features with the easy to follow Logitech tuning wizard, and rebooted only to find that I had no audio. I reinstalled...

Not a Bad Webcam

Strengths: Picture quality pretty good for close in work. Applications all working fine on my machine (XP Pro).

Weakness: Colors a little off.

Bought to use with Skype for myself and several staff members. Works fine right out of the box in our environment. While webcams have advanced tremendously since I last used one 5 years ago, the video quality is still a little below my expectations. I suspect this is just the way it is with bandwidth and is not a camera issue. A little pricey for what it it.

A Great Camera

Strengths: Good in low light, good in bright light.

Weakness: None yet.

I have not owned any web cameras as of yet, I've been waiting for the "right one". This camera was a cinch to install on Vista Business, works great in both Live Messenger and Skype. Picture quality is tops and is noticable by the users on the other end of the call.

Logitech pro 9000 - Nice Camera poor software -...

Strengths: Nice camera, even without software loaded (because I could not load it) it worked very well with skype, is clear and has goot depth in the room

Weakness: software has major problems with vista. I tried to load on two different Vista pc configurations. both failed with the same error code(not in trouble shooter list) very poor rude support from logitec

So to make it work: You have to disable a whole load of start up functions, disable your firewall etc. You do not have to do this with Canon or other similar software which loads fine. Error code not in trouble shooter, support say its an issue with Vista. Sorry no. If you want to sell a product make sure it works with current software in all likely cases. Sofware is clearly too intrusive and...

Poor product and even Poorer support

Strengths: Nice picture when it works, which isn't very often.

Weakness: Continually have to reload software every time you restart your machine to get it to work.

After following the exact procedures to install the webcam and upload the software, I had high hopes it would work. It does work affter you upload and reuplload and reupload the software every time you need to uuse it to make an internet call with video. I bought it to communicate with my daughter and granddaughter but have to spend to much time reuploading software to make it worth while as it...

I liked it - it is a good web cam i have seen

Strengths: the picture clarity is very good. It adjust the features at the earliest. one word it is a good webcam in the market.

Weakness: the balance is not good. It falls continuously

The webcam is nice to have with laptop. It is not very good with deskstop. the performance is diminished when i started using on deskstop. It is needs at least 1 GB Ram memory, it does not work with less than that. Nagaraj

QuickCam Pro 9000 works great in Ubuntu

Strengths: Works great in Ubuntu 10.04 (and later, I presume) and OS X 10.6

Overall picture quality is pretty good but not outstanding. I'd love a webcam with high dynamic range.

Video quality, speed, features, options - A+....

Strengths: Video quality is impressive, focusing speed & low-light performance as well. Many adjustments, even an option to turn off the red light ring during recording. Zeiss lens.

Weakness: Long installation, some compatibility issues with Vista. Not entirely Logitech's fault, though - who hasn't had issued with Vista?

Definitely head-n-shoulders above average. Software took a while to install, but it's worth it. Plenty of configuration options, from focus to zoom to color adjustments. Video quality is VERY impressive, especially for recording (vlog/video greeting cards). Works with Skype w/o any problems whatsoever. Love the stand - folds in several ways so you can sit it on the table or stick on top of a...
