Looking for the best: nothing beats the Quickcam Pro 9000
With over 400 million Facebook users and millions of people using the Internet for social communication, a webcam can improve your connections with friends and family, as well as keep you connected to the office when working remotely.
Web video cameras can be wired or wireless, and some of them have a built-in microphone. Almost all newer computers also have a built-in microphone, so keep this in mind when shopping for a webcam. While webcams come in all price ranges, the more expensive cameras, in the region of $70 – $150 have higher resolution capabilities and therefore produce better quality images.
The most common use for web cameras is to send video emails and capture images for later use. For business use, they are perfect for video conferencing and office calls from remote locations. Some people also use their web cameras to set up home surveillance during their absence.
Logitech has a range of affordable webcams called the Quickcam, and the Quickcam Pro 9000 is considered one of the best. Its wide popularity is proof of this. The Quickcam Pro 9000 fits on any computer and can also sit on a flat surface, making it highly versatile. The Carl Zeiss lens is just one mark of the high quality of this camera.
The Zeiss lens and premium autofocus ensure sharp images even when shooting from 10cm away. Logitech accomplished this feat by using the voice coil motors used in mobile phones and optimizing them for the webcam. When you move, autofocus adjusts quickly and moves with you to ensure blur-free images at all times.
The built-in microphone works with RightSound technology so your audio is clear, with no background noise or echoes to disturb your conversation or recording. Integrated RightLight 2 technology gently adjusts and balances the backlight to give you the optimal image. So if you are in a dark or dimly lit room, the technology improves the quality of the image that is captured.
When you’re feeling creative and want to have fun, you can use special effects features to change your appearance or create fun images, and best of all, Quickcam Pro 9000 is compatible with most instant messaging programs, including Skype, Windows Live Messenger , Yahoo messenger and AOL instant messaging.
