Cheap, does what it sets out to do

Software limited, no wide-angle lens, quality not great

You aren't buying this for its quality, its bundled software or its design, you're buying this because it's cheap and if you're alright with that, then you won't go far wrong

Picture quality, software features, sound, stand

Cable not long enough, expensive, not Mac compatible

While this is one of the more expensive webcams on the market, the build quality and performance are worth the expense

Relatively easy to install, good picture quality

Insists on trying to load Microsoft Live during install to use "full functionality", lead not long enough to plug into machine under desk, slightly fiddly stand/clip arrangement

An average webcam for video communication, offering good picture quality. Minor niggles (stand and lead length) let the device down slightly

High resolution, easy to set up

Expensive

This high-resolution webcam offers great image quality and a fast recording rate, just make sure you're broadband connection is fast enough to match

Very crisp and clear image, good in-built speaker and mic

Expensive, large stand

If you've moved on from the cheaper options and entry-level webcams, the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision is as it says on the box, Ultra Vision.

Video effects that allow you to add graphics to your images, good image quality, fairly wide angle, works well in low light

Rubberised stand is unwieldy

The Logitech webcam is a good all round model that has some nice features to it, especially when dealing with low light

Skype certified, wide angle, headset included in the box, two mics to cutout background noise

Noise on images

Good sound, poor picture makes this a webcam that is perhaps more expensive than it should be

Pixel Plus technology found in its TVs, easy to use, 90 frames per second capture rate in video mode

Automatic lighting adjustment gets confused at times, very narrow angle of view, stand fits uncomfortably on laptop screens.

The SPC 900NC offer good picture quality and a rich sound, however with no noise cancelling features you've got to make sure you are in a quiet room.

Stand, price

Very basic options, still camera only VGA

This is a basic unit that offers the basics and a basic price

Stand, software included in the box, separate microphone

Face tracking doesn't work, no Mac support

Buy this for the resolution not the extra features it boasts
