REVIEW BY: 94709 Reviewed Aug 22, 2008

I had an older Creative LifeCam that was not compatable with Vista. I got the VX-5000 and it produces a good image in bright light and dim light. Installation was easy and quick and had not problems with Vista. I have only tested it on MSN Live and it worked with no problems. It base works well and sits relatively securely ontop of my LCD screen. I would recommend Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 Sharp Video Web Cam camera and buying it from TigerDirect (best price and comes quickly).

First off, I have to compliment TigerDirect's quality service. My webcam came three days before the estimated arrival date, and everything worked right out of the box. The VX5000 is a great looking webcam. The grip works great too. The webcam is a very good product for the money. If you're looking for a quality webcam for the money, look no further. The picture quality is perfect; doesn't skip frames or lag at all at full resolution (640x480, 30fps) However, I had to give features a 4 because the camera doesn't come with many features. The ''fun effects'' are really basic, but it's okay for kids, I guess.

Took a chance on Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 Sharp Video Web Cam little cam, and am glad I did. Nice, small design and I love the flexible rubber base. It sits pretty stable on top of my LCD.Driver/software install went well on my Windows XP Pro machine. Out of the gate, I wasn't impressed with the motion blur I was experiencing, so decided to experiment a bit with settings. Realized this was due to having the exposure set to auto (which is a default setting). When manually adjusting it, I was able to get close or at 30 frame second - much better video. Quality dropped a bit, but with proper lighting, the image did clear up and looks good.Not wild about the software, but it's been said MS is going to overhaul it this fall.Overall, I'm happy with this purchase ($36) and can certainly use this for it's intended purpose - video blogs.
