Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000

At 60 bucks, the LifeCam NX-3000 is a great webcam for beginners.

Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000

The Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000 is an inexpensive, basic Webcam for laptops that delivers acceptable video quality and little else. The bundled LifeCam software is third-rate--we prefer the apps that Creative and Logitech bundle with their...

Acceptable video quality for video calls; decent audio; compact size with good clip; inexpensive.

Bundled software is frustrating to use.

It's cheap and compact and delivers acceptable video quality, but the bundled software plagues Microsoft's LifeCam NX-3000 Webcam. Creative has a model for nearly the same price that we like better.

Consumer review by: abee91596 (cnet.com)

Worked well for two days.... then it stopped.

This product looked great for the price and the size! But once I hooked up everything, it only worked for about 2 days until it barely worked at all. I am very upset about this product and it makes me wonder about the other microsoft webcam products.

Cheap ; Good picture ; Good audio

Doesn't work whenever I would like to use it, which is most of the time
