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.
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. View a comparison of the LifeCam VX-3000 and VX-6000.

Rating: - Great webcam for the price!
This is a very nice webcam, and does pretty much exactly what it's supposed to. It's super easy to use (just plug into a USB port, and that's it, didn't have to do anything else, I have Windows Vista 32-bit).It gives a clear, accurate image. It also has some nice features, like taking pictures and videos (but I guess most webcams do that). I really like the way it fits on top of your monitor (I have a flat-panel one), just clips on and is sturdy. I also like the color, the silver and black fits ... Read More
Rating: - Good cam for decent price
I bought this cam to replace my existing philips webcam which had a blurry image and disturbing voice. LifeCam has a good and attractive design which can angled in any direction. It has got good picture quality and voice is also good. Happy to replace the existing one with this one.
Rating: - good deal

Rating: - Great Deal
This camera originally sells for about forty dollars on Amazon and I got mine for just under twenty-five. My software didn't have any problems running on Windows Vista and the camera works GREAT for Skype. I have a microphone in my laptop speakers but the microphone on this camera works much, much better than those. The picture is clear enough quality that my boyfriend doesn't feel like he's looking at a Monet painting though it is slightly pixelated. Overall, a very good buy and would certainly buy ...

Rating: - does the job- clip a little hard to use
This product does the webcam job well, and has some fun icons and animations that you can oeprate during your chat. Very easy software to install. The only downside is the clip, which doesn't grip well on the edge of my laptop, so sometimes it falls off or is lopsided... but it's an ok product for the money.
