Here's introducing the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 Sharp Video WebCam, designed to give you the flexibility to place your webcam anywhere you like. The Microsoft LifeCam brings a unique new design to webcams with its bendable attachment base that molds to virtually any monitor, including flat screens and notebooks. It also sits directly on your desk, allowing you to properly place the webcam in any position you want. To make it more interesting, Microsoft came up with a way to complement the inventive design of this webcam.

With the use of MSN Photo Swap, a special feature that lets consumers share digital photos in mid-video conversation and see real-time reactions, you can now view and share every photo with style. Using Windows Live Messenger, consumers can easily share pictures from summer vacations or holiday gatherings.

I found this web cam easy to install, just follow the basic instructions and remember to smile, you're on camera. I use it with windows live messager. I had no problems. I would buy the same if needed. |

I received the webcam, installed the software as per the instructions, and the camera is not recognized by my computer. I'm a non-techie, so I asked my dual master's degree in computer engineering husband to check it. He actually had to re-write part of the programming to get it to work. Skype recognizes it, but microsoft programs don't! Very disappointed. |

Product arrived promptly and was easily installed. I now use it regularly and it works well. I wish it came with more instructions on how to improve the quality of the pictures, how to set up a good lighting scheme, and the like. |

I bought this webcam so I can talk to my wife while I am deployed. Since this is the first one I bought, I have nothing to compare it too, but overall its not bad. Decent framerate, mic sounds good. I guess if anything, it just doesnt stay on the screen that well. |
