Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 Webcam

facile da installare ... una delle poche che vengono riconosciute anche da Mac ... ottima la qualità video ... la consiglio

Compré esta cámara de segunda mano, funcionó bien un par de semanas y luego dejó de funcionar el micro. Muy decepcionante, la devolví.

For me the big debate is over, I finally know what Webcam to buy & recommend. This is THE webcam to get. I spent months browsing reviews, articles & opinions wondering which Webcam to get, all products, including this one, seem to get mixed reviews. I was still uncertain but needed to buy and went for the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000. The comments about image quality from the Carl Zeiss Lens swayed it for me. I don't regret it at all. I did initially have a minor Vista64 Install issue where after installing the included software I could no longer see my networked PCs in windows explorer. I could still access them but not see them. One day, after a normal scheduled Microsoft Windows update, the problem just went away and I've been fine ever since. I love the quality of this camera, both in terms of designs/build and particularly the fabulous picture and sound. In Skype it's performance capabilities are automatically recognised and Higher definition video is used by default. This benefits the person watching your video of course, you would need them to have one for you to benefit. The audio is also excellent and doesn't appear to suffer from the loopthrough or feedback issues I've read about on some Webcams with internal Mics. The included software is a little gimmicky, but worthwhile. It's quite fun for the kids to mysteriously make clothes and accessories appear on them real time during chats. The Face recognition driven auto-panning feature that the software allows works very nicely. I'm getting a Mac with a built in Webcam, but I understand that there are OSX drivers for this camera so I intend to keep using the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. I will also be buying some more for my family so I can benefit from their improved picture quality. One last thing I'll mention is that it is also very practical, it sits equally well on top of my 22" TFT as it does on a 17" CRT, or on the Desk. I also like the fact that you get a red glowing ring around the Logitech logo to inform you that the webcam is active. I love this camera! Top Marks Logitech.

This was the second time I had purchased this product, so that, in addition to my partner being able to use one with her laptop to talk to friends abroad (via Skype), I could use the other one with my desktop PC. As with the first product, this webcam provides excellent service and both the picture and sound qualities are excellent, whilst it is simplicity itself to install. The drawback, I found, however, was that it eats up so much of the memory on my PC and seriously slows down the latter's performance. After wrestling with this for a couple of weeks, I have now uninstalled the webcam and it is now just sitting uselessly on top of my PC, waiting for me to reinstall the software if I need to make a (pre-arranged) Skype call or until I buy a new PC (with a greatly expanded memory (even though my current PC is under three years old and had expanded memory installed upon purchase, as I work freelance and use my PC very much indeed every working day). Take care, therefore, when installing and watch your PC's subsequent performance very carefully if you purchase this product.

I had heard good things about Logitech webcams, and did some research into how easy this would be to use on Ubuntu Linux. I'm using karmic, and I know some Jaunty users had to install some additional software. On my amd64 dual core machine, this webcam and the microphone worked like a charm out of the box, including the autofocus. Crisp picture, able to cope with poor lighting conditions in my living room. The FPS is lower at higher camera resolutions, but given that the rest of the world also has to use the internet at the same time I can live with this. I'm impressed with Logitech's quality hardware and their commitment to the open source community in the form of open source drivers, which have obviously made it into the Ubuntu repos for the camera to work OOTB. Excellent value for money, works flawlessly with Sykpe, I would recommend it to any Linux user who needs a decent quality webcam for IM or VOIP use.
