As Internet connections have matured to faster and faster broadband pipelines, webcam manufacturers have been keeping pace with higher resolutions and improved optics to take advantage of the larger bandwidth. And more than just communicating over chat and VoIP, webcams are increasingly used to broadcast Truman Show-esque live video feeds of one's every move (such as at Justin.tv) as well as high-quality mini-movies uploaded to sharing sites. And that's where the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 really shines, with its 2-megapixel image sensor, smooth-tracking autofocus, high-end Carl Zeiss optics, and HD video capabilities (with the capability of recording video at 960 by 720 pixels).

My wife's family is pretty far away, and with a couple of small children around, we thought it would be nice for the grandparents to be able to see the kids occasionally. So a few months ago I picked up a matching pair of Microsoft Lifecam VX5000 webcameras to use over Skype for video conferencing... Read full review »

Cons Price (but well worth it)
Recommended it? Yes

When someone says "web cam quality", we usually think about images that are grainy, under exposed, choppy video, and low resolutions.  You really can't say that about Logitech's QuickCam Pro 9000!

The first thing you notice about this camera is it's price!  Still going for $99 at most brick... Read full review »

Pros low profile, autofocus, smooth video with good image quality, software included
Cons still need decent room light for fluid imaging, USB cord could be longer
Recommended it? Yes

My very old Logitech webcam went to computer heaven.  So when my brother corralled the family into using Skype for video calls, I needed new eyes for my computer.  That's why I bought this Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000.
