Microsoft VX-1000 WebCam, December 7, 2008
Length:: 0:09 Mins
Took it out of the box, installed the program, plugged in the Camera's USB and that was it, worked beautifully. Excellent Cam for under $25, you cannot go wrong with this buy.
I'm using Windows XP on a T3410 eMachine. I have a $50 Logitech webcam that looks pretty good, but this camera out did that in clarity, color and speedier as it uses less puter resources, at least the program does over Logitech Image Studio.
The Dashboard addition to the program is good for special effects and a little comedy on video or still pics!
Focus ring on the front, mic is in a small slot on the front, I prefer a headset over a cam mic though.
Can't beat this Webcam for the price.
If your using Windows XP, download Webcam Timershot and you can make any Webcam takes an automatic pic as set intervals and save them automatically to your drive. Use if for fun or security to see if anyone is messing with your computer, then slap them if you catch them! haaa
Timershot download from Microsoft @:

The video I took above is from the VX-1000. The video was razor sharp, then when uploaded it was slightly larger than original. Thus the slight pixelization.
The shadow effect is not part of the special effects of the camera it is just a video accident that I happened upon. I had the ceiling light out in my room and only a round bulb flourescent telescopic desk lamp on and angled a bit above my head. It made all the background black and as I leaned back in the chair I noticed I dissapeared from the camera so I had a little fun with the effect. Yep, I'm bored and need to get a life!!!
