    Comments about Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro/Webcam C905:

    One of the best, if not the best resolution for a webcam. Others sometime claim better resolutions but they are extrapolated and meaningless. This one is true 2 megapixels at least for still images. I wish I could find a camera with a better resolution and a flash but this is the next best thing.

            Comments about Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro/Webcam C905:

            The actual quality of the video is great in close up settings or when you are situated fairly close to the camera. For what I needed it for, to skype a college class, it was not great because the images were not so clear from a distance. To actually set it up took a long time, because it kept messing up my audio/sound settings and freezing my laptop. The truth is once we got it running and tested it a couple of times, we were very happy with it, because we adjusted the sound settings for clarity and overall performance was much better. (And the features it comes with are easy to use and add pizzaz...)

                          is perfect and so easy to use. I just plugged it into my Mac and it was ready to use. Because I am a musician, it makes it so much easier to talk to contacts and friends around the world, but the best thing is I can look at my grandchildren while we talk.

                              Quality of video is excellent.

                              The quality of the clip on the back on the webcam is NOT excellent. It's horrible. I nearly broke it off right out of the box thinking that the camera could be rotated 90 degrees. Wrong.

                              Make no mistake, the clip is flimsy and I don't like the included stand very much since it's not height-adjustable.

                                Purchased this webcam to talk to our daughter who is attending college. The quality is more then I expected from such a small lens. The Carl Zeiss is a nice plus. I like the auto focus and lighting adjustment so you don't have to mess around with the settings that much. Can't really say anything bad about this cam. Great price, rebate at the time of my purchase and good portability.

                                      We are using these as a low end solution for photo capture and they work seamlessly using the WIA interface. Good quality photo if close up and in good controlled lighting.

                                        There aren't a lot of consumer based web cams as good as this. I used it and the picture was crisp and clear. I was trying to use this cam as a makeshift video cam to stream a conference. IT did the the job. IT has a cool software features it comes with such as the ability to zoom and shift the camera lens without moving the camera.

                                        I gave it 4 stars and not 5, because of how i was using it. It was a performance conference. I was at the back and had to zoom in all the way, which therefore made the image quality became reduced. But if i wanted a wide view it was crystal clear and clean, noise-free.

                                          Our son is studying abroad this semester and with the QuickCam Pro, our ability to communicate with him via social media is like having him in the next room. Easy to install and absolute perfection in its ease of use and quality of results, especially for those of us who don't deal with new technology as a matter of course. A++!

                                            I use this webcam to chat with my daughter when I am away from home. Great tool for the money. Didn't experience any problem installing on both PC (Windows XP SP3) and MAC (iBook G4 12"; OS X 10.4.11 Tiger). The only non-technical issue that I have is the clip doesn't work well with my laptop screen.
