New webcam! Logitech QuickCam® Ultra Vision


Four days ago, I was surfing the amazon website to look for any gadgets that is worthy to buy. In the same time, I was looking for a webcam because I was thinking that I might use it to communicate with my family members without calling them. At first I was thinking to buy creative webcam, so I look in creative website and found this "Creative Live! Cam Optia AF". The stylish design and the 2 megapixel sensor captured my interest in this model. However, most of the reviews said that this webcam does not really worth the price it offer. The best feature is the parental locking system but I don't really need this feature anyway. So, I start to look for other brand and I think logitech is not bad.

From logitech website, I found this webcam QuickCam® Ultra Vision. Most reviews said this product is really worth the price and it also has a stylish design, comparable with creative webcam. This webcam used 5 lens-system or what they said as precision glass lens which can offer twice the image clarity compared to other webcams. It has a true 1.3 megapixel sensor with RightLight™ 2 Technology. I have tried this features and it really helps a lot especially when your room is too dim. It will automatically adjust the light accrodingly. Although this camera only has 1.3 megapixel but the image is still very clear. Most reviews said that any video higher than 1.3 megapixel will make the image jitter due to the bandwidth required to transmit the video. So, I still sticked with 1.3 megapixel. I also have a integrated microphone, embedded with echo and background sounds cancellation system. It also can be used as digital camera which can be used to capture up to 4 megapixel picture. With all these features, I finally made up my mind and bought this webcam from amazon for £67.70. Although it is very expensive but worth the price. However, I was surprise to found out that it is more cheaper than malaysia. I checked the lowyat webby and it cost RM559 but mine only cost about RM470.

The received package.

With this webcam, I can use it to show my handsome face to girls through messenger...hehehe... just jokking. Anyway, if you guys/girls want to chat with me using the video mode just message me. Well, that's all I want to say. c u guys in messenger.
