2008

I won the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 on Live Search Club (www.club.live.com). It was completely free (no shipping or anything) so I really can't complain. However, the box describes it with amazing terminology such as High Quality Video and Crystal Clear audio. In contrary, it's just an ordinary webcam. It suffices the need of a webcam but you don't want to use it to shoot your big movie production or short film. The video gets pixelated when any fast movement takes place and the audio is semi-clear. What was cool, though, was the effect to zoom in and pan. Also, they have many animated graphics to place on top of the video such as a ladybug moving about the screen over your video or a basketball bouncing. That's probably the best part of it (but it never mentioned that stuff on the box, go figure). A truly adequate product. However, on the same website mentioned above, I just recently won the LifeCam VX-6000. I yet need to set it up. I'll probably use that and post up another review to see if it's any better.

I'd recommend this to people who maybe just want to keep in touch with family or friends who live far away and you want to talk to them through the webcam. Anything else will just turn into a bad YouTube phenomenon.
