NX-6000 Webcam - Not Security Cam [Posted on 2008-03-31] High quality images and video for the price paid and the compact design. I was disappointed in the limits to the Microsoft software. No motion detection available was very disappointing.
Good quality but.. [Posted on 2008-04-07] The photo and video quality are very good but the software has some incompatibilities with Skype software. Being a webcam it shouldn't.
Nothing says quality like "break out the velcro" [Posted on 2008-05-09] I have a thinkpad Z61M and a dell 30" LCD, both of which are too thick to accommodate this webcam's standard mounting clamp. Seriously, if I have to use velcro to use it on these items I imagine it probably doesn't clamp to much outside of a Macbook air. Sigh.
Disappointing range of focus [Posted on 2008-05-27] I bought this webcam thinking, like everyone else, that it'd be reliable.
It's quite reliable, but I thought that the range of focus was disappointing.
When you get close to the webcam, it gets blurry pretty quickly. To be honest, it's a wide problem. I found that to be true with Logitech products as well, which is why I had attempted a switch. The only webcam that has made me happy with macro is the IPEVO PoV, and that's because it's got a manual focus.
Why good focus is important: well, I chat a lot. But also, I sell some jewelry on eBay. My little beads aren't diamonds, so I have to be able to show a little tutorial on my bracelets with a webcam that'll get close enough as I'm explaining why I like my bracelets.
So verdict: ok for chatting, not too sturdy in my backpack, and focus range is disappointing, especially if you're considering showing objects up close.
piece of junk [Posted on 2008-06-21] this cam is a piece of junk i have a super thin laptop and the clip is not wide enough
