I wanted to give you an idea of the difference that the quality of this webcam versus the quality of the built in webcam that came with the laptop that I'm using. The RightLight Technology is awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow!, August 15, 2008

LC "LC" - See all my reviews

I initially purchased a webcam by microsoft. The picture was not good, and for some reason I got static on the sound. I returned it right away and exchanged it for logitech webcam. All I can say is WOW. The picture quality is absolutely incredible, the sound is amazing, it was extremely easy to install, easy to use - and I am even using it instead of the built in isight webcam on my macbook which I feel does not have good picture quality at all - this is 10X better! I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP (Black) (Personal Computers)

I read several reviews for webcams. The reviews for this Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP seemed positive so I ordered one. Installation was quick and easy: Put in the CD, follow the instructions, plug in the webcam when told to (not before or Windows will install the wrong driver.)

The picture is very good and everyone tells me the microphone is clear and crisp. It picks up voices from anywhere in my home office (former bedroom). It has a privacy slide that covers the lens or you can use the software to put up any default picture from your hard drive. The pop up software provides a graphic 'ribbon' menu to choose from a small selection of special effects for both voice and picture. (The webcam built into my son's Dell Inspirion has MANY more features but this has a better picture.) It sits on top of my 17" Dell LCD monitor very nicely. It has image tracking to follow your image, moving and zooming as necessary. The response for this is very slow but I like that it adds a little movement to an otherwise static image; it kind of pans around a little. This feature can be turned off if you like.

I bought it for Skype and it works flawlessly. Of all the webcams out there, if you're looking for something relatively inexpensive with a good picture and sound, this is an excellent investment. I use FWINK for my web page and selected QuickCam. When I use Skype it automatically switches over, then back when it's done. I can't do that with my older webcam.

I gave it five stars and may buy another one. I think it's a good deal.
