5.0 out of 5 stars A good webcam, September 7, 2007

By 

FOX FALL (Hudson Valley, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quickcam Pro 5000 for Skype (Personal Computers)

Clear picture, great price, lots of features for fun and practical use. This camera is my second and it far surpasses the older one, which was merely functional and had no extra bells and whistles. It takes still shots and video and connects easily with the Skype program. I enjoy the "track face" feature, which keeps my face centered and zoomed even if I move around. There are also amusing little caroon-like items that can be attached to one's features, such as beards, bushy eyebrows, funny hats, etc. Very silly and goofy but funny too. Most people will not avail themselves too often of those, but they're fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not compatible with Realtek HD audio card, October 27, 2007

Unfortunately, the driver is not compatible with my sound card (Realtek HD audio card) in my Sony Vaio RA820G. I can install the webcam and its works but I have horrible interferences on the sound. There is a compatibility problem between the driver and the sound card. I uninstalled the driver and the sound when back to normal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Which High Quality WebCam for MacMini?, June 21, 2008

Do Amazon sellers provide for MacMini owners? My research so far shows only a Logitech 4000 is compatible for MacMini users; OK with Skype?

Competent suggestions are appreciated, including a possible order...

Cheers, Rob
