The QuickCam Ultra Vision is the best quality webcam I’ve yet tested, producing high quality images with an effective integrated microphone. The software is simple and effective and the video effects are fun. It's too bulky for use on the move however,...

Excellent image quality… ; …particularly in low light ; Well engineered ; A fair price

Indiscriminate audio ; No native access to 2MP stills

Logitech does webcam video better than anyone, but the audio quality disappoints here

Very crisp and clear image, good in-built speaker and mic

Expensive, large stand

The difference with the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision over other models the camera makes is clearly in the clarity of the lens making the quality of the image considerably better than others on the market even if you can only still send at a 640 x 420...

Excellent image quality, top quality microphone, easy to use

Some flow down on fast objects, flimsy control buttons

Gold standard for webcam video quality. Easy access to major messaging and chat services

Clunky. Unstable monitor clip

Stylish ; Easy to use software ; Integrates well ; Good sound quality

Style, as always, comes at a price ; Noisy images ; Automatic image settings not always the best ; Best left at home

The Webcam integrates easily with a variety of instant messengers, including Skype, Windows Live Messenger (nee MSN Messenger) and Yahoo Messenger. Sound quality was good with little hint of echo. Video quality over Skype and Windows Live Messenger was...

High Quality 1.3MP Images ; Excellent recording performance ; 640x480 Video resolution at 30 FPS ; Convenient snapshot and video buttons ; Unique balance-adjustable clip base ; Easy to install and use without effort ; Better than expected sound quality...

Software enhanced images (4MP) lack sharp clarity ; Video Effects software feature is unstable ; No built in IR LEDs to correct no-light environements

Even if I wanted to dwell on the only problem I encountered, the QuickCam Ultra Vision Special Edition rates praise. I really wanted to see myself as a talking Unicorn or Marionette, so I am very let down. Despite this, I cannot help but to be...

Exceptional video and audio quality., Fun and unique features., RightLight 2 technology

Video effects were flaky.

Superb quality... as far as webcams go ; Video quality is top rate, with up to 960*720 setting running at a smooth 15FPS ; Sturdy construction ; Fun avatars ; Compatible with Skype, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AIM (Includes avatars, should you use...

Pricey ($120), but should prove worthy if it you care about quality ; Avatars are somewhat clunky.. require good lighting and some patience ; RightLight also required tweaking but did its job pretty well. Don't expect a miracle though

Avatars was an aspect I wanted to play with right away though. It's the same feature I saw at CES that impressed me a -lot-. Basically, if you are having a bad hair day, had too many cupcakes, look like a real computer geek, are on the run or simply...
