Microsoft LifeCam Cinema 720p HD Webcam for Business - Black Reviews
| 775 of 814 people found the following review helpful  Excellent Hardware, Lackluster Software, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Microsoft LifeCam Cinema 720p HD Webcam - Black (Personal Computers)  Summary: It's a great product, but the software is lacking. It does require a lot of processing power to produce decent videos, so do everything you can to let the capture software have all of the processing power. For reference, I was using an AMD Athlon 64 XP Dual Core 6400+ CPU with 4GB of RAM when recording this video. I am running the software on a Windows XP 32-bit machine. This video was recorded with minimal software interference, but I'm also happy with the quality of the processing for low-light conditions. In this case, I was looking to get the best motion performance, so I turned off all of the auto features in order to get the best picture with the light I was using. As you will hear in the video, the built-in microphone isn't terrible, but it does have a pretty high noise floor. That is fine if you're using Skype, but lousy if you are trying to record higher quality videos. In this video, I used the Audio-Technica...

While Skype doesn't recognize this Microsoft cam as an "HQ" cam (or at least not yet, if ever), I have found that this cam excels as compared to the QuickCam Pro 9000 in three ways:1. This cam produces much richer colors. Some may say it borderlines oversaturated or "technicolor" but I really enjoy the brilliance of the colors 2. Low light conditions keep rich and bright color. I find with the QuickCam it loses contrast to brighten up the picture. 3. Launch time. I find with the Quickcam Pro 9000 the "ramp up/turn on" time is undesirably long when receiving an auto answer Skype call. This cam is ready to go immediately. As far as focusing goes, both the QickCam Pro 9000 and this cam aren't great at it in dark lighting conditions. The widescreen view is a really nice change from the normal 4:3 perspective. It really helps show your surroundings more and give...

With only the computer and TV on at night, the Lifecam Cinema webcam produces a viewable video for chat. In this same light settings, the Quickcam Pro9000s video is all black.In better light conditions, the Lifecam cinema will produce a good video with good color. This camera will focus as close as 1 inch. Good to play around with as a microscope, but a hassle everytime it does an autofocus. I turn off autofocus most of the time. People mentioned that this camera takes a powerful CPU. It only uses a lot of CPU power when you turn on the video effects, such as modifing the eyes, nose, face, and others. |
