1.0 out of 5 stars Yeesh. Take this camera -- please., December 25, 2001

I like the color orange. I like it a lot. I also like red. It's just that, crazy me, I don't like every image that I take with this cam to be red and orage. I like dots, too, but I don't like my pictures to look like a collection of orange and red wads of gum stuck to a wall. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to get a camera that's rated better than this one. I am returning it. Oh, plus the software that comes with it is a joke. Feh.

3.0 out of 5 stars You can get better cameras for the same price..., December 11, 2002

This review is from: Logitech QuickCam Express (USB) (Personal Computers)

Well, I got this camera recently for 79 CAD at Staples and despite the bad reviews, it is easy to install and it works fine (it is probably good enough for most users). The image quality is not great but you can't expect a lot from a webcam. It works well with low light and it makes reasonably good videos. Don't try using it to take snapshots! The quality is awful! The software that came with is not very good and I didn't manage to broadcast videos using it (I had to download other softwares from the internet). The camera design is not too bad but I agree with one of the previous reviewers that said that the camera base doesn't hold it very well. For the same amount (or a little bit more) of money you can get detachable webcams that can be used to take snapshots and will produce images with the same quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars This thing is terrible, May 2, 2002

I was searching for a new webcam as the one I currently have (a Xirlink IBM PC Camera Pro) is fine, but I wanted to add another on a second computer. First I tried the MicroInnovations PC350 cam, which had pretty poor image quality (especially in lowlight), so then I returned it for this Logitech Quick Cam Express. This Logitech was worse than the MicroInnovations! How's that for "brand name quality"? I was so disgusted with the poor quality of this camera's picture that I was shocked it was even being sold. It's picture looks like trying to tune into a TV station from Antarctica using the antenna from an old 70s color TV. Totally unacceptable by ANY standards, especially considering my three year old camera (which can now be purchased for LESS than this brand-new Logitech) completely surpasses this offering in every way. Isn't this stuff supposed to be getting better and cheaper all the time???
