USB 2.0 High Definition Hue Skype webcam + mic for Windows 2000 XP VISTA or Apple MAC OSX (red)

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > WebCams
from: Sogatel


My review is for the Hue webcam running on an Apple G5 Powermac running OSX Leopard.

Setup was straightforward. I ran the application which comes bundled on the CD install and moments later the drivers were installed and the camera fully detectable by the system. The bundled WebCam monitor software lets you record and compress videos to share with friends. Skype detected the camera and built in microphone immediately. I have also successfully used the microphone feature with Ventrilo and iChat. This is how I expect things to work - no fiddling with software or settings!

The resolution on the camera is very good, almost unsettlingly so. I can even clearly see my pores if I set it to the maximum sharpness. You can change ... Read More:

Logitech QuickCam Pro Webcam for Laptops

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > WebCams

Firstly service from Amazon was excellent.
Having read a few reviews of this item took the advice of installing the latest software version from the Logitech website rather than use the enclosed CD. Once software installed plugged in camera when instructed and waited a few minutes. As previously advised by other reviewers this does take a few minutes but just be patient. After this followed link to install Skype and was up and running in minutes. Camera and microphone quality both excellent. Relatives in New Zealand could even tell the colour of my baby son's eyes.

Only negatives stand needs more base weight (will probably put some Playdough to sort this out) and clip for top of laptop pretty poor.

Labtec webcam

Its the first Webcam I've ever bought and I'm impressed. The software is easy to install and the webcam itself is really very simple to use.

I've used it to film myself playing, to then upload to YouTube, and at the price it does a great job. Allows you to add captions and a delay start/finish facilty of up to 1 minute. So if you have to allow time to walk from the computer to the Piano (as I do) you can set it to start filming 10 second after you click on start recording.

All in all an easy to use and effective webcam.

Logitech QuickCam® Vision Pro for Mac

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > WebCams
from: Logitech

July 08, 2008
This is the current solution for all of us Mac Pro users, after Apple' s decision to abandon iSight production. It' s expensive, however, compared to similar-spec' ed windows offerings - why are we mac users still expected to pay a premium over windows users for what seems to be just a good mainstream webcam? Works ok on the MacOSX, the sound quality is very good and the image quality that is possible with this cam could be very good too, but: Skype drives the cam in a lower resolution and frame rate than the windows version does, and similar comments apply to PhotoBooth (lower than possible resolution and poor auto focus handling). The cam delivers much better IQ when on Windows XP, but I can' t find a way to turn the mic on!! The camera is plug-n-play, ... Read More:

Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX for Skype

I installed this webcam with the latest software (version 11.5) and found that it periodically crashed my PC. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software a couple of times since following instructions received from Logitech support but to no avail. They are now suggesting I install an older version of the software (v11.1). I am inclined to give it up as a bad job.

Logitech Quickcam Messenger - Web camera - colour - audio - USB

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > WebCams
from: Logitech


I bought this based on reviews on Amazon. I guess the others have had a good experience but mine has been awful. I have worked in IT and with comp[uters for over ten years and know what to expect. This device has worked and can work but will stop working sporadically. Sometime the webcam will work, sometimes the microphone will work but rarely both. A search for latest drivers will produce a message "no drivers available" but when you search on the logitech site you find updated drivers. But these don't help. I will be getting another webcam, different brand.

I bought this a while back and have been very pleased since the day I received it. This cam offers everything that you could want in a cam for the price you pay. The quality of the video and the built in mic' is excellent and well worth the money.

There are better cams on the market but when looking for value for money this will not let you down.
