Reviews of the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 (blue)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Excellent image quality, especially in low light; flexible rubber stand provides a stable and versatile base.
The Bad: LifeCam application is lackluster; not compatible with Macs.
The Bottom Line: Despite its uninspired software, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 proves its worth with outstanding image quality, a funky and useful design, and low price.
