Microsoft LifeCam review

The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 is Microsoft's answer to higher-end Webcams, such as the Logitech QuickCam Fusion and the Creative Live Cam Voice . The LifeCam VX-6000 adds some interesting features that we've not seen before on a Webcam, including a...

Flexible stand; adjustable camera; call button launches contacts; can post photos to blogs through software.

Call button gets in the way while adjusting; must install Windows Live Messenger; subpar video effects; delay in starting video.

The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 offers unique features such as the ability to post photos directly to a blog, but its video effects and image quality don't stand up to that of competing Webcams from veteran manufacturers.

Microsoft LifeCamVX-1000

Microsoft's eye-catching entry-level webcam. Does it do all it says it can?

Live blogging (only to Windows Live Spaces), one-touch e-mailing, sturdy build

Extremely overpriced, additional software needed to work with Vista, retention clip doesn't secure the camera well, poor audio quality

price, Flexible stand, simplicity, ease of setup

The manual zoom can be a little fiddly
