Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000
We find out whether Microsoft's entry into the world of webcams is going to take over our desks...
This is an upmarket webcam with a price to match, but we have seen better microphones and software on similarly priced rival products that leave us thinking you might be better off shopping elsewhere for your webcam, whether you're a Live Messenger...

Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000
Excellent image quality in outdoor environments, impressive integrated microphone, easy to set-up and use
Average image quality in office environment, below average in dim lighting, little expensive
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 is a mid-range webcam that suffers from the same pitfalls as most mid-range cameras on the market. When the lighting is anything but optimal, the image quality suffers greatly.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000
The LifeCam VX-6000 offers quality video, easy setup, and a nice set of features, but its built-in mic disappoints.
Easy to set up and use. Works with all major instant-messaging clients. Includes pan, tilt, and zoom control.
Doesn't work consistently with every messaging client. Mic volume needs to be turned up high in order to pick up sound.

Microsoft LifeCam review
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 is Microsoft's answer to higher-end Webcams, such as the Logitech QuickCam Fusion and the Creative Live Cam Voice . The LifeCam VX-6000 adds some interesting features that we've not seen before on a Webcam, including a...
Flexible stand; adjustable camera; call button launches contacts; can post photos to blogs through software.
Call button gets in the way while adjusting; must install Windows Live Messenger; subpar video effects; delay in starting video.
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 offers unique features such as the ability to post photos directly to a blog, but its video effects and image quality don't stand up to that of competing Webcams from veteran manufacturers.

Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000
Forget tears at the airport, with Microsoft's LifeCam NX-6000 you can keep in touch from anywhere in the world. With its great protective casing and design, and three-year warranty the LifeCam is deisnged for those on the move.
Great protective casing and collapasible lens ; Highest resolution currently available on a Webcam ; Instant blog posting ; Built-in microphone ; Excellent support and warranty
Clasp restricts suitability to thinner notebooks ; Frame rates drop at higher video resolution ; Pricey
It supports USB 2.0 -- we would rarely expect anything that wasn't these days. This means that 1.3-megapixel video, the maximum the NX-6000 will send using instant messaging clients, can easily stream down the line.

Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000
A cool tool to chat up with your friends, or is it?
Face tracking, Sturdy, High quality video, Wide angle lens
Manual focus, retention clip doesn't secure the camera well

Expert review by : Jen McPherson (techgage.com)
Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 & VX-3000
Microsoft released two brand-new webcams last month, the VX-3000 and VX-6000, both of which have a huge feature-set. The better of the two even offers "high-definition" 1.3 megapixel video capabilities. We've been testing both webcams for the past...
I found that I did not really care for the face tracking, as it seemed clunky to me. The camera will follow your face around when you move, and even though it may seem like a good idea, often it just makes the camera feel jerky. It’ll adjust zoom and...
