Strengths:Echo cancellation. Wide angle video. Small size. Flexible attachment for both desktop flat panel displays as well as for notebooks. Softer image.
Weaknesses:None really unless you would prefer a less soft image. If you have an older computer with USB 1.1 ports this camera will produce a lower grade image.
Posted Jan 25, 2006 - This is a great little web cam. Previously I owned a Logitech Pro 4000 which was also a great cam. The Pro 4000 uses a CCD sensor while the Fusion is CMOS. The difference being that the Pro 4000 produces a very sharp video while the Fusion produces a very clear video with a softer image. Frankly, I enjoy the softer image on the Fusion, it really is a matter of personal preference.
In addition the Fusion has a wide angle lens which allows groups of people to be seen in the field of vision as opposed to focusing in on just one person as with the Pro 4000.
The Pro 4000 has a built in microphone but it not usable due to severe echo. The new Fusion also has a built in microphone with echo cancellation and thus is very clear with zero echo.
The Fusion also various avatars and image enhancements which you may use for fun. For instance, you can replace the video stream with a talking shark which will speak as you speak. This is a great feature for kids.
The rubber base is bendable and fits perfectly on a desktop flat panel monitor as well as a notebook making this a perfect web cam to simply unplug and take along with your notebook.
Be sure to use this web cam with a USB 2.0 port for best results.
I highly recommend this web cam.
