Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000

It's no stand-in for a high-end webcam, but the $40 Microsoft HD-3000 gets the job done in most situations, and is the perfect low-cost choice for anyone with a desktop PC that wants to get into video chats or basic recording.

Good video quality for the price. Automatic light compensation works well. Easy-to-position rubberized mount.

No 1080p recording. Mount lacks tilt adjustment. Subpar microphone performance. Buggy live effects.

Performance, Audio, and Conclusions You can record 16:9 widescreen video in 720p at up to 30 frames per second and share it via Messenger, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Recording 720p video files was as simple as an on-screen button push to begin...

Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 review: An HD webcam for the cost-conscious

If your budget is unforgiving, Microsoft's LifeCam HD-3000 ($40) may give you the most bang for the least buck. At less than half the price of the LifeCam Studio, this Skype-certified webcam still delivers HD video. It's not business-call quality, but...

Fine as a basic webcam on Window 10

Bought this for a friend of mine who is housebound as she had been given a cheaper camera that didn't work at all well. Suits her fine for using Skype with her relatives. A good entry level camera that works with Windows 10.

The image quality is not great, and there is no method to adjust (esp colour balance) and now way to adjust for close-ups etc
