Logitech QuickCam Fusion Webcam

Cool little webcam

Posted Jan 15, 2006 - My 4 year old logitech pro 3000 finally stopped working. So I bought this webcam from Amazon.com. As with my old logitech webcam, it has very good image quality. I like that it has built in audio. It also looks cook on my 19inch LCD monitor. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase though it is a little expensive for a webcam.

Great Webcam!

Posted Oct 2, 2006 - I have owned my webcam for almost a year now. Have had absolutely no problems with it. I tried a few others before getting this one, and they don't compare. I like the size of the area that the camera covers. Other webcams only have a small field of view where you pretty much can only see a person's face sitting in front of it. This one, I can see almost my entire bedroom in it. It takes clear photos and video. It is really a great webcam and other people have commented on how clear it is. Don't waste your time looking for a deal on a cheaper one, get this one it is definitely worth the money.

Good Little Web Cam

Posted Dec 27, 2005 - The installation of the camera was very easy and straight forward. Although I had previous read of someone's difficulty in integrating with Yahoo IM, I had no problems at all. The picture quality was surprisingly good. Prior to this, I had been using my digital video camera as a web cam and I could not discern a noticeable difference in picture quality. The echo cancellation is causing an aggravating static noise at the beginning of every incoming sound, but I think this can be resolved with some adjustment. The size of the camera is appealing and the "hook" for LCD monitors works well. All in all a good buy.

Perfect Web Cam

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.

Great Cam

Posted Mar 2, 2006 - This is perfect for web chatting and picks up sound very well from the built in mic. Users on the other side of internet calls indicate we come in loud and clear. Great feature to calibrate the video.

Recommended.

Posted Nov 12, 2005 - Overall besides some weaknesses I'll go over later, this is still one of the best (if not the best) cam on the market. The video and audio quality are just amazing. The styling of the product is also very nice and gets away from the eyeballs in a teacup design. Only issues I've had with the camera is the mounting piece could of been a bit better designed to fit on different monitors. It has a bit of a difficult time (but manages) fitting on the very slim Apple Cinema Display. Biggest gripe was that the privacy shade was missing and Logitech technical support was near useless. They didn't even know the camera should come with one and when they were convinced it actually should, they just threw their hands up in the air. Sales instead went out of their way to find one, so if you run into the same situation just avoid "tech support" all together.

The greatest webcam I ever used.

Posted Feb 10, 2006 - This is the 3rd logitech webcam I used. I always have great experience with logitech products. This baby comes with true 1.3MP pixel with true USB2.0 support. The CCD sensor makes both the photo and the video amazing. Plus logitech's Right Color and Right Sound technology, you can't go wrong with it. Highly recommend!

this is the best web cam money can buy

Posted Sep 26, 2005 - I had been waiting for this camera since it was announced several months ago. I had the previous best camera that Logitech made, the QuickCam 4000 Pro and I thought that was pretty good but this is a big step up in image quality. Its closer to the Apple iSight which as many know is a very good camera. The drivers installed easily although I decided not to load all the 'extras' that Logitech bundles and just use the basic drivers. Very impressed with the image quality and the microphone is very clear I have used it with Skype and people say I sound like I'm right there. So overall I give this a thumbs up although I will admit the price was a little steep but hopefully it will last a couple of years.

Logitech QuickCam Fusion Webcam

Posted Jan 5, 2006 - After doing quite a bit of research, this webcam is the one I chose. I received it yesterday, set it up in about 5 - 10 minutes, and tested a variety of its functionality. I'm very happy with the quality of the video and sound, as well as how the camera sits securely on my desktop monitor. It cost a bit more than many other webcams, but my feeling is that you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

The best webcam up to date

Posted Nov 23, 2005 - I like this webcam as its image quality, multiple features, and space saving design. But when I put at the top my Dell LCD monitor, it is not very stable. I somehow a littl worry about that. Meanwhile, I still need more time to learn how to use the additional feature the webcam provides though is not so easay. Of course, the webcam could provide the better quality at night than my previous webcam. I like it. A good present for myself.

QuickCam Fusion Webcam

Posted Jan 12, 2006 - I purchased this webcam so I could communicate with my family in out of state, 2000 miles away. Seeing members of my family while we chat using MSN messenger is such a great experience. I would recommend this webcam to my friends. The price is a bit on the high side though.
