I own many Logitech products and have over the years, and I've always been satisfied with their quality. I had purchased a QuickCam Communicate MP for a remote Dog monitor system I setup at home, so I could watch my dogs from work, and interact with them remotely when they got out of line. I was quite impressed with that camera, and I had been thinking about doing some online instructional videos, so I started looking for more advanced cams. This one seemed to stand out in reviews, and I eventually purchased it. Couldn't be happier. At all resolutions it's crisp, smooth and even without the light enhancement running in the software, it does very well in low light. With light enhancement turned on, your frame rates drop but it does extremely well in dark locations. The mount is sort of weird, but seems to work fine, and the camera is actually quite aesthetic so it's easy on the eyes when not in use.
the camera takes nice still shots, comparable to my old 2MP digital camera, but I didn't really buy it for that purpose. The video quality is very nice. Too bad it doesn't do wide 16:9 video, but rather it only does 4:3, so the high definition they speak of isn't going to be a true 720 resolution other than the fact that the vertical pixel count is indeed 720. All in all, it's the nicest webcam I've ever used. The included software works great, although it will only allow you to record about 3 minutes of video, which I find to be strange. It seems to cater to those that want to stream. I've been using VLC player with it, and you can stream to windows media or to other VLC players with no problem with it.
All in all, great camera, worth the price... if you can find it cheaper than retail (and you should be able to) it's worth the money, that is, if you want/need a really good webcam.Get more detail about Logitech Webcam Pro 9000.
