Reviews

  • Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera

    Wi-Fi cameras for home security ought to be a no-brainer, and at this price, the Linksys pretty much is. We just wish it worked seamlessly cross-browser, and took better pictures.

  • Microsoft LifeCam Show

    The Microsoft LifeCam Show offers improvement over Microsoft's previous laptop webcam, but Logitech still has the laptop webcam to beat.

  • Logitech QuickCam Sphere AF

    While the QuickCam Sphere produces excellent pictures and has impressed us with its automatic face tracking, these features don't justify the extra expense over the cheaper webcams in the Logitech stable with matching optics.

  • Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks

    We're not wild about the design of Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, but its image quality is so vastly superior to that of other notebook webcams that we're more than willing to make the occasional camera readjustment as needed.

  • Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

    The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 offers a winning combination of stellar image quality, easy-to-use software, and a sturdy, stable stand. It's our webcam pick for desktop and laptop users alike.

  • Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000

    Despite its uninspired software, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 proves its worth with outstanding image quality, a funky and useful design, and low price.

  • Creative Aurvana Live headphones

    These headphones are designed with the idea that you may want to listen from analog as well as digital sources. They're everyman's cans, delivering solid sound quality across all genres of music.

  • Creative Live Cam Optia AF

    If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.
