Logitech QuickCam Fusion Webcam

Great Webcam!

Strengths: The clarity is great, it has a wide field of view, takes great pictures and video.

Weakness: Not real clear when used in low lighting, but then again most webcams don't do that well either.

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...

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.

Cool little webcam

Strengths: good image quality. built-in audio.

Weakness: n/a

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.

Good Little Web Cam

Strengths: Great picture.

Weakness: Echo cancellation can be an annoyance.

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...

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

Strengths: Echo cancellation. Wide angle video. Small size. Flexible attachment for both desktop flat panel displays as well as for notebooks. Softer image.

Weakness: 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.

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...

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

Strengths: Compact, great for flat screens. Great picture and built in mic seems to work well on receiving end.

Weakness: A little on the pricey side. The cord is a little cumbersome and non maneuverable when placing on the screen.

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.
