Worth the money

The cam quality is equal to the price. Used for 8 months straight in Iraq and had no problems. Just plugged in and used the rubber grip to put on the screen. (very fast, big positive) Worth the money, great investment.
What's great about it: Easy to put up if you are portable
What's not so great: Kind of bulky
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 2 for Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX Web Camera
Good, not great cam
Customer Rating
3.0
Looking for a good cam...here you go. Thats about all it is, basic. The privacy shutter is a nice feature and it is easy to set up and use. Bad points would be that the wrong software comes with it so you have to go to Logitechs site to get cam programs.
What's great about it: Shutter, ease
What's not so great: software

Awesome Cam

The picture is very clear which is what I want so my mom can see me when I IM her. The mic picks up voices at all different volumes. The cam is one of the best I've tried so far.
What's great about it: Excellent picture and good sounding audio
What's not so great: Gets blurry when on Yahoo Messenger when you move around too fast...I think it's Yahoo's fault.

I purchased the orbit first and was not impressed. I took it back and got this camera. I am much happier with this camer for the money. If you want the movement feathers go with the orbit but this is a great camera for the price. It is the camera we use in our labs at my university.
What's great about it: clear picture, easy set up, good deal
What's not so great: blurry with movement (most all webcams are)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 5 for Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX Web Camera
Not too bad
Customer Rating
3.0
Setup is pretty easy. Photos are of "decent" quality (in comparison to an actual digital camera, the picture quality is average). The movement in videos is a bit jerky. The microphone picks up sound very well (sometimes too well if there are background noises in the same vicinity).
The clip that came for the CRT monitor would always slide when the camera was attached, but the camera stays mounted on my flatscreen when attached to the flatscreen clip.
What's great about it: Easy setup, price, does what it suppose to do
What's not so great: average video quality, sensitive microphone
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 6 for Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX Web Camera
Not compatiable with VISTA
Customer Rating

Posted by: Anonymous

If you have VISTA and preform the recommended update from Microsoft your camera will be capable of basic functions ONLY. It will not track, there are NO special effects, the microphone is not recognized by the computer, does not work well in low-light (bedroom/basements) Logitech does not recognize the problem, therefore there is NO software patch/update available. Don't waste your time downloading the driver's that Logitech directs you to, or the un-install/re-install...THEY DO NOT HELP. Might as well pay a lot less, than get this camera. Save yourself the time and hassle of disappointment with this camera and it's severely lacking software!
What's great about it: Camera works in instant messenger...with NONE of the frilly feature you paid for
What's not so great: NOT compatible with VISTA and Microsoft update.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good little camera

on 04/22/2008
Great little camera with very good focus and picture clarity. but I found it difficult to keep mounted. I have a lot of files on my desk & even the slightest bump to the monitor (rare, but it did happen) would cause the camera to shift to a different focal area. That was the only drawback I had.
What's great about it: Good focus, clear image
What's not so great: can be difficult to balance correctly

the picture is fairly clear and the sound comes through fairly well but there is feedback if you are using it on a laptop with the laptop speakers because the 2 sources are so close to each other. theres a reason why it is a cheap web cam, you get what you pay for. i'd spend a little more money and get one that has noise cancelling functions and a better camera if you can afford it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this camera(desk top version) so I could interact with my grandson more frequently, since I live quite a distance away. It was harder to get the skype working than the camera. The camera itself is pretty much plug and play. The picture quality is just fine, sound was good; my son has the notebook version and was able to walk me around his house to look at projects and follow the grandson (he's not quite two). Picture was a bit delayed from the sound, but that didn't bother the kid, who high-fived grandma with no problem. All in all, for the price, pretty darn good.
What's great about it: easy to load, easy to use
What's not so great: not much instruction, but not much needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This webcam works well with iMac computers. I am running OSX 10.4.11 and macam software, a free download from Apple. Works reasonably well with Skype. Quick and easy setup, just plug it in and download macam software. (Do not use the software that is included with the unit.) Good focus and audio, no echo or feedback.
What's great about it: works very will with iMac computers
What's not so great: need to download macam software from apple

As a student you find yourself studying in various places around the world, this device allows you to keep in contact with those back home. It's great because it's small, lightweight, portable, durable, and functions great. There are obviously other webcams out there, however for the price this one is the best buy.
What's great about it: mountability, quality, easy to use

I purchased this model because it was a moderately priced camera. i actually purchased two at once, so a friend that moved cross country could talk. It beats regular phone conversations and is skype compatible, which is great. But if you can pend the money, I'd suggest the next model up.
What's great about it: not too pricey
What's not so great: blurry video, picks up unwanted backnoise

The video feed is rather clear, even in poor lighting. The mic picks up even small sounds so it makes it easy for people to hear you. Being small and inobtrusive, I'd recomend it to anybody who is looking to buy a decent webcam, whether it's for just viewing or actually talking to the person on the other end.
What's great about it: Good sound pickup, Good video clearity.

My wife and I live in NYC and our families are in Chicago. I bought this camera the day after Thanksgiving because it was a "good deal". After using it to show off our newborn son to family members around the country, my parents asked for one as well. They were so impressed by how easy it is to use, especially since they can be (at times) technologically challenged at 66 years old. I ended up buying one for my cousin for his birthday since his fiance is in London. I love my webcam, it is so basic and easy to use. the video quality and sound are excellent. I know there are other more expensive ones, but this does everything I want...I don't feel as if I'm missing anything. If I'd buy this for my Mom & Dad, i have no reservations recommending this to anyone! Next one I buy will be for my wife's parents.
What's great about it: Easy to use! VistA compatible!
What's not so great: Can't think of one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The camera was easy to set up. I had a problem when I first used the cam. I was getting an echo and couldn't determine if it was me or the reciever of the message camera. The tech was knowledglable and easy to communicate with as well as solving the issue
What's great about it: The techs are USA

Review 18 for Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX Web Camera
Blurry at 384K upload
Customer Rating

from San Francisco

Everyone got to be careful when purchasing a webcam and having a basic dsl connection or cable connection that gives low 384K upload or even 512K or 768K upload. Downloading is rarely a problem and the display is blur free but uploading yourself to the other end on 384K, 512K or even 768K would not be adequate to deliver crispy smooth image of yourself. If you move yourself you would blur somewhat. It is because of cheap CCD sensor in the camera or something like that. CCD sensor hog up the bandwidth and still want more or blur it up.. If you blur to the other end, that receiver would tend to hang up on you and your cheap webcam because it is an eyesore. You would have to buy an expensive webcam that is more efficient in bandwidth which I think is a technical hogwash. I think all webcams should deliver crisp upload images of yourself as you move your head or arms like signing.... Get it ?
What's great about it: all same
What's not so great: blurry when you move
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good web cam. I use it alot to talk to my grandparents down in texas. It has good sound quality but the camera has a hard time detecting movement. If you step away from the cam it looks like you just disappear. Its good for its price tho! Easy to use and hook up.
What's great about it: Clear sound and picture.
What's not so great: doesn't handle movement all that well.
