  • The fact that the word 'fun' is mentioned several times on the Microsoft LifeCam VX5000's specifications page should tell you all you need to know. This is a light, compact and easy to use webcam which doesn't go beyond the basics, but does those well. It...

  • While still not for everyone, webcams now enjoy a much more broad user base. With more bandwidth, wide messenger support, and sites like youtube, the uses for a webcam have grown exponentially. With their growing popularity prices have dropped, and qua...

  • Highly compressed photos at 1.3 mega pixels and fairly compressed video, 640x480 video runs at 15fps, LifeCam software wasnt particularly configurable
  • The LifeCams packaging was very nice but came with a rather spartan accompany of materials. However, Microsofts software support was particularly good and the appropriate software, drivers and chat program were all terribly easy to find, install and ...

  • Bright and clear video feed. Very easy install. Cool rubber grip. Good bundled software.
  • A few minor crashes. A few features work only with Windows Live Messenger. Audio quality only passable.
  • This functional webcam makes video chats look bright and crisp, thanks to a new low-light sensor with an extra software program. Still, we had a few minor crashes....

  • Sometimes I like the low-light sensitivity, and then I remember that there is a $17 night-vision cam on Newegg.
  • Annoying button placement, high price, and non-motorized movement.

  • Excellent image quality, especially in low light; flexible rubber stand provides a stable and versatile base.
  • LifeCam application is lackluster; not compatible with Macs.
  • Despite its uninspired software, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 proves its worth with outstanding image quality, a funky and useful design, and low price.

  • Design élégant et sobre, Focus automatique, Qualité image et son, Pied, Compacte
  • Effets vidéo sans intérêt, Rendu de nuit trop sombre
  • Si vous utilisez cette Microsoft VX-5000 en plein jour, vous apprécierez aussi bien sa qualité d’image que la précision de son micro intégré. En revanche, le rendu de nuit est un peu sombre....

  • Cette nouvelle caméra se place en milieu de gamme est fait un produit de bonne facture pour son prix. La qualité globale est assez homogène et aucun gros souci nest à déplorer. Son design un peu massif ne plaira peut-être pas à tous mais elle saura ...

  • Fonction MSN Photo Swap
  • Rien
  • En juin 2008, Microsoft commercialisera une nouvelle webcam, la Lifecam VX-5000. A linstar de ses prédécesseurs, les LifeCam VX-3000 et VX-6000, cette nouvelle venue est optimisée pour discuter sur le Net à laide de son logiciel propriétaire : Window...

  • hervorragende Bildqualität auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen, flexibler, aber stabiler Gummistandfuß
  • mäßige LifeCam-Software, nicht kompatibel zu Mac-Rechnern
  • Eine bessere Webcam wird man in dieser Preisklasse nicht finden....
