I had a few days previously a Logiteck Quickcam Express for testing borrowed (certainly not the greatest webcam) and had it completely disappointed. Very dark, pixelated image and, above all, there was so after about 30-40 seconds under Skype only a still picture. At Google I have a lot of evidence found on similar problems, also solutions to none of which helped.
So at first I was a bit skeptical when I took the VX-5000 in operation. But I was very pleasantly surprised. The picture is good even with moderate light conditions, the sound as well.
When installing the way the description helped me a lot in another review (thank you!). Because I want to use the camera as the other reviewer only Skype, I have the camera software is not installed, but the camera simply connected to the USB port and then update the driver via Windows Update in Control Panel. What happens exactly, is well described in the other review. After the camera was easily recognized by Skype, all major functions are available.
I would recommend the camera without reservation.
