After using it extensively for over a week, I found that I grew to liking the features of the Logitech QuickCam for Laptops Deluxe Web camera. The overall function that I wanted was to have a smooth flow of video images going to the recipient of the video conference. The webcam did a good job with it and those viewing me were happy. That is the reason why we buy a webcam: For the recipient to be happy with what they see.

Pros

• The webcam provided a very sharp image of the subject when focused correctly.
• Easy to install and setup.
• The webcam was small, compact and complemented the laptop.
• Neoprene case made is easy to put webcam into laptop case and not have to worry about breakage.
• Focus ring has smooth feel when adjusting the focus.
• Lowlight filter very handy to increase the light level around the subject.

Cons

• Length of cord at times was too short.
• Having a retractable cord would make it easier for laptop users to put away instead of rolling up the cord.
• No adjustable base to hold the webcam to the screen chassis limits the amount of users that can use this web camera.
• Video image moved too slowly at high resolution.
• No instructions on how to use software.
• Icons for the primary programs are hidden and too small to see.
• Video conference programs too prominent as the default screen. No option to remove it from program even if software is already in use.
