Gold standard for webcam video quality. Easy access to major messaging and chat services

Clunky. Unstable monitor clip

High Quality 1.3MP Images ; Excellent recording performance ; 640x480 Video resolution at 30 FPS ; Convenient snapshot and video buttons ; Unique balance-adjustable clip base ; Easy to install and use without effort ; Better than expected sound quality...

Software enhanced images (4MP) lack sharp clarity ; Video Effects software feature is unstable ; No built in IR LEDs to correct no-light environements

Even if I wanted to dwell on the only problem I encountered, the QuickCam Ultra Vision Special Edition rates praise. I really wanted to see myself as a talking Unicorn or Marionette, so I am very let down. Despite this, I cannot help but to be...

Exceptional video and audio quality., Fun and unique features., RightLight 2 technology

Video effects were flaky.

Superb quality... as far as webcams go ; Video quality is top rate, with up to 960*720 setting running at a smooth 15FPS ; Sturdy construction ; Fun avatars ; Compatible with Skype, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AIM (Includes avatars, should you use...

Pricey ($120), but should prove worthy if it you care about quality ; Avatars are somewhat clunky.. require good lighting and some patience ; RightLight also required tweaking but did its job pretty well. Don't expect a miracle though

Compact Modern Design that’s flexible and adjustable ; Certified for Windows Vista integrates well with existing technologies built in to the OS such as Windows Photo Gallery and Moviemaker ; Supports a wide range of online and instant messaging...

Flexible rubber clip does look or feel 100% secure when fitted on top of LCD monitors such as Notebook computers ; Installation and configuration phases are bit too much; I just want to start using the device as quickly as possible ; 4 Mega pixel photo...

Recommended system requirements are needed to use Logitech RightSound or RightLight 2 technology features.

Excellent image quality, top quality microphone, easy to use

Some flow down on fast objects, flimsy control buttons

The QuickCam Ultra Vision is the best quality webcam I’ve yet tested, producing high quality images with an effective integrated microphone. The software is simple and effective and the video effects are fun. It's too bulky for use on the move however,...

Excellent image quality… ; …particularly in low light ; Well engineered ; A fair price

Indiscriminate audio ; No native access to 2MP stills

Logitech does webcam video better than anyone, but the audio quality disappoints here

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

Expensive, large stand

The difference with the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision over other models the camera makes is clearly in the clarity of the lens making the quality of the image considerably better than others on the market even if you can only still send at a 640 x 420...
