User Comments about the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

We purchased the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 to use to see our grandchildren - We are very happy with this Webcam - our daughter had purchased the same one and we know that she researched her choice of cameras and found this to be the best one out there right now - we have nice clear video and clear audio - We would recommend this to others.
Presently, my webinar program limits the resolution to 320 by 240, however.Stanley A. oh yeah: portability and zoom lens. optical quality was amazing.Made me wonder why I paid a few hundred dollars for a movie camera. But if you like making movies of yourself, for example to answer questions clients ask, I can't imagine an easier set up.

This product has a great picture but it is very high in the CPU usage. On Skype the picture is very slow. The product literature says that you need the duel processor to get full usage.
I'm not sure why some people here had problems with Skype -- perhaps it was an old version of Skype as the current version sure works well for me. I love this webcam. I also chose to use my own microphone, and the QuickCam software recognized it automatically and used that instead of its own builtin mike. I tried it without the external mike and that worked fine too, I just like the external mike better. I did choose to turn off the RightLight option as it showed movement better without it. Got it to use with Skype and the quality is exceptional. I tried some fingerspelling and signing and the other person could understand me perfectly. This is a wonderful buy.
This may well be an issue with Skype itself or with the driver though. Worked with Skype the moment I plugged it into the USB port. Overall the hardware shines but it would be nice to have a graphical utility for quick control tweaks. Now getting the HD resolutions and frame rates is more of an exercise (google for CaptureWidth/CaptureHeight and uvcdynctrl). That's under Linux (Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex), mind you -- apparently the uvcvideo driver it requires was part of the standard install as this is my first ever webcam. I am currently seeing 960x720 with very decent optical quality and backlight processing but the frame rates are somewhat lagging. I won't be holding my breath for one :)
