Microsoft Lifecam Show

The Lifecam show will give you a crisp, clear video and great sound that cancels background noise.

What I likes about the webcam was it was a full package, everything I needed to start video calling with all the attatchments in one place.

Althought it has a short usb lead, if you are using it for a laptop or your PC is right next to your Monitor, it's no problem.

The Lifecam show comes with a stand that you can place right infront of your monitor so when you are on a video call, you are effectivly looking that person in the eye. Rather than looking at them when the camera is placed elsewhere on the monitor.

I installed lifecam software simply on my Vista machine and as soon as I plugged it in I was using it on skype with no problems, dropped frames or freezing. Unlike my last, more expensive cam.

The software has playful functions such as adding a pair of sunglasses to your face, making you look like a cat, wearing a big wig, hat or look like you are at the seaside. All pointless fun but with a couple of exceptions. One setting allows your face to be clear with your surroundings blurred. No matter were you move you face stays in focus.

The face recognition works well and the zoom feature with panning means you don't need to have the cam so close.

It comes with a little case to carry the webcam around in, should you travel with it. Plus a small clip with a magnet and two sticky magnets.

FYI: the round dimple on the camera, below the lens is magnetic. The clip, the stand and the two magnets are all shaped to fit inside like a magnetic cup, it also has one on the back. Thought you'd like to know :o)

I give this cam full marks. It really is a great webcam & for the price it's a steal. I'm glad I got mine, so is everyone I chat with. Especially when I use the cowboy hat!
