CP Technologies USB Mini PC Web FlexCam Web camera from CP Technologies in PC & Network Cameras

$10 new from USB, PC The smallest and lightest web cam in the world. It's intended for videoconferences, video mail, photos and photograms. It provides well-lit images and excellent video quality. I just received this and installed it. Installation went smoothly from the CD. I plugged it into the USB on my laptop and wiggled the cord around and it stayed in place perfectly. It s really very slick. It works great in both places I used it. There are many settings that can be changed to adjust for low light or colors. Awesome and what a value at that price!

Lenovo USB Webcam Web camera

$35 new, $33 used

Nice but NO VISTA DRIVERS (Yet??), April 9, 2007 I like the webcam, but I am using it with an older laptop running XP. It wouldn t work with the brand new Thinkpad since the Thinkpad is running Vista. My telephone call to Lenovo support resulted in my learning that there are currently no Vista drivers available for this camera and they, while claiming to be quot;working on them , have no date by which they are expected. It does work well and I like the auto pan and zoom feature, but I really expected to be using it on the new LT, so had I to do it again, I would buy something else that has Vista. Also, I think their specifications: quot;Minimum System Requirements Win 2000/XP quot; is misleading when they say Minimum . That word should be deleted as Vista rejects the camera when you try to set it up and there are no drivers for Vista on the enclosed CD or on the Lenovo website, so you re dead in the water if you ve got Vista as far as I can figure until Lenovo comes up with drivers - at some unknown future date - maybe. My rating would be a 4 **** if it had drivers for Vista. Additional software features/effects would make it a quot;5 quot;.

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 Web camera - fixed

$66 new, $86 used

Pros: Carl Zeiss lens and Logitech's RightLight technology combine to deliver superior image quality, especially in low light; 2-megapixel sensor lets you shoot video up to 1,600x1,200 resolution; included QuickCam software is polished and easy to use; flexible stand works equally well on top of a monitor or a laptop or resting on a desk.

Cons: QuickCam software isn't optimized for Macs, so you're left without the audio and video optimization technology and, less importantly, the goofy video effects and filters.

Bottom Line: The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 offers a winning combination of stellar image quality, easy-to-use software, and a sturdy, stable stand. It's our Webcam pick for desktop and laptop users alike.

The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 is nearly identical to the QuickCam Pro for Notebooks Webcam, except for the fact that it's a better fit for laptops. This $99 desktop Webcam is larger than its laptop sibling, but its flexible, two-hinged stand works equally well resting directly on your desk or atop your desktop's LCD or your laptop's screen. As was the case with the laptop Webcams I reviewed last month, the QuickCam Pro 9000 delivers better image quality than competing desktop Webcams from Creative and Microsoft. Logitech's RightLight technology provides a well-balanced, vibrant, and clear image--even in low light. While Creative's Live Cam software has more features, unless motion capture surveillance or time-lapse Webcam photography
