User Comments about the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision ( 961471-0403 )

good its works fine, but videos are not as great on messengers like any web cam on the market



I have used 3 web cams, but this unit gives the clearest and sharpest video quality. I think it's big to be used with a laptop. Check its dimensions before you buy so you won't be surprised. The audio provided by this cam is clean, too. It works only with Windows, no driver for Linux. If you want the best picture and sound quality and don't care much about the size, then this is a good choice.



At the uncompromisingly long wait, you will find not all the information has been deleted.4. Slows down the computer significantly. Bought this camera with high expectation from a brand such as Logitech.It has created so many bottlenecks and issues on my computer, that it is hardly worth buying. I am so pissed that I will be writing to BBB as well.Issues are many:1.


It is as though, they are punishing you for removing their software.These are only a few to state.NIGHTMARE. Don't buy. They add many other garbage (unexpected and sneaky) which you have no control over whether to install or not.3. Once installed the software takes over the hard drive.2.


When trying to uninstall, takes hell of a longtime. Look for alternative products and be happy.


and on my laptop, it's actually making the screen go down if it's already tilted backwards. that's just weird.Conclusion: not the bang for the buck. Then, the angle of view is kinda weird. Everything slows down incredibly when I start chatting. At first, you think they'll be helpful and balance the camera out, but in the end, the slightest thing too close to your laptop screen, and they're falling. I know the rating looks harsh, but I've just spent $240.


This one just isn't.For one, it's heavy and bulky. Yeah, I want to chat, but I don't want to stop living and breathing for it.


At that range, the product had better be darn good. wow this thing sucks the life of my computer.


The mic - ok so the other person can see every pimple on your forehead (angle tilted up), but they can't hear you if you step 1 foot diagonally. They're also god hard to store, which means they easily break, and then, you're out $240, because the webcam can't hook on to anything, or balance.CPU issues.


It's good sideways, but up and down, it seems like it's more tilted up.The back stand. that's a bad start.


these things on the logitech webcams have been driving me crazy. So your kids can wave to granny, but they won't be able to say a word she can hear until all she can see is their lips.



I bought this to put on my home theater computer that's based on a Mac Mini (Core2Duo) running OS X Leopard to add iChat AV and Skype Video to our living room system. Blockiness occurs and it's hard to push the video gain w/o creating other artifacts (speckles and grains). I also purchased one of these for my parents to use on their WinXP desktop via Skype Video and the cross platform image quality is superb, even on a 720p HDTV.One criticism is the use of the camera in low-light conditions. Being a USB Video Class device made using it literally plug-n-play. Be sure to consult with Google/Wikipedia for information about which versions of these Logitech QuickCams support the UVC standard before purchasing one for your Mac. Not a show stopper and a common issue with any webcam.
