Reviews of the Microsoft LifeCam Show
-
CNET Review
The Good: Decent image quality; magnetized connection options are flexible and sturdy; 2-megapixel sensor provides higher resolution than your typical Webcam; 3D video effects improve on past efforts.
The Bad: LifeCam application remains lackluster and quirky; not compatible with Macs.
The Bottom Line: The Microsoft LifeCam Show offers improvement over Microsoft's previous laptop Webcam, but Logitech still has the laptop Webcam to beat.

Review Summary: Tiny and shiny. Ultra-thin mobile webcam that's light on your laptop but not on your pocket.

Review Summary: The Microsoft Lifecam Show is a solid webcam offering let down by its exorbitant price tag. With the exception of its inferior stand, the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 will do everything just as well for a more reasonable price.
