Summary: Nearly half of the reviews it has received were for five stars, with reviewers liking the low price, ease of use (even for seniors who sometimes have trouble with computers), and the fact that it works with Skype with no problems. All of these things led people to call it a great value for the money. Some people who left a one-star review said they had problems with the video quality and sound quality. Most realized that they were getting a lot for the price, however, and recommended it for people of all ages and computer experience. If you're looking for a simple to use webcam that doesn't cost too much, this might be for you.
Pros: Inexpensive, easy installation, good audio/video quality
Cons: Live call button only works with Windows Live Messenger
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 is an affordable webcam that offers good audio and video quality for instant messaging. It works well with Skype, Yahoo!

It's easy to install and use; you can be chatting or talking with your family and friends after only a few minutes of set-up. Its video capture resolution of 640x480 at 30 frames per second, photo resolution of 1.3 megapixels and noise-cancellation feature ensure a good picture and sound quality in your instant messaging experience.

| Summary: There were a couple of negative reviews left, but these seemed to center around Logitech in general more than this particular webcam. It was said that there are better webcams out there, but those cost more money. Dollar for dollar, this was one of the best webcams in this price range. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles and isn't "fancy" in some respects, if you want a basic webcam with good picture quality, you should give this one a chance. For the price, the picture and sound quality were said to be really good. Some mentioned no problems with Windows 7 compatibility.

| Summary: If you're looking for a good cam for your computer and don't mind buying something a little older, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 can save you some money. Most reviews have been for four or five stars because people have been very satisfied with the overall performance of the webcam.

Some people have reported problems with Windows 7 compatibility, so you may want to do some more research if you have this operating system. Otherwise, most agreed this was a good, albeit a little dated, webcam for the price. Again, you should check closer for Windows 7 compatibility issues.

| Summary: This basic webcam from Logitech hasn't received too many reviews yet, but those that have been left have been very positive. Most people gave the webcam a five-star rating because of the low price, how easy it was to set-up, and the fact that it worked well. One person complained about the picture quality and left a single star with their review, but they were pretty much alone in their opinion. Even one person with Linux (Ubuntu) reported that the webcam worked well for them. This was recommended as a great entry-level webcam or for those who have very basic webcam needs. |
