Customer Review

Summary:
I can not recommend this camera.

Why? (Long version):
The camera has an image enhancement mode (True Color) which actually makes for a better picture even in poor conditions. Too bad that it coupled an autofocus is just annoying. In the middle of recordings or broadcasts "decides" the autofocus for a refocusing and zooms kicking indiscriminately on various objects or limb of persons. Example: Man raises his hand and immediately everything else is out of focus, because he wants to capture the hand ... then he needs eternities again to make the face clear. This happens even with short "scratching their heads" or continue to draw near / closer - oh what am I saying: general changes in the head;)

A Monday product I did not get caught, because I bought several Webcams of the same type for my office ... all have the same problem. You can turn off the auto focus in the software manually, but then also the image enhancement mode (True Color) from. Annoying: you have to remember every time because the software does not save the settings. Excellent!

Autofocus makes in its indiscriminate actions also clearly audible noise, especially annoying when shooting that you would like to put on YouTube etc. I hope that Microsoft nachbessert here with an update of the software nachbessert.

Nice: The design and witty effects of software ... so can actually distort facial features and set numerous comic / 3D accessories on the picture.
