User Reviews about Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000 Webcam

This product was easy to install and works fine. The picture quality is good (not great) but for the price, the product preforms well. -- microsoft lifeCam NX600

I had to buy a webcam because the built in one in my laptop quit working. I ordered this because it was a familiar brand and cheap.
I found this unit clips easily to the lid of my laptop and the picture & sound are excellent. The CD that comes with it though certified for Vista, will not work on Windows 7 though technically it should.
However, a screen appears that re-directs you to the Microsoft and it downloads and installs updated software in minutes.
This was just a minor nuisance bearing mind how well this thing works!

Strange thing is, after running a utility program, I got my built in webcam to work again but I much prefer this one and continue to use it.

This really is a steal for the price, why pay more when you get a sharp picture and excellent sound out of this unit!

-- Very Impressed

I recommend this product. It is easy to install and use. The small size is also an advantage. -- Good Value

This webacam is just what I needed. It's compact enough to carry around while traveling, discreet, and has a retractable lens for protection. It also includes a carrying case. The specifications are very nice, software is upgradeable and Microsoft's hardware tech support is so great!
I guess the only bad thing for this camera is Microsoft's effort to push you to use it's instant messaging software as evidenced by the web call button on top. If you accidentally push it, it will prompt you to install Windows messenger first which could be a bit annoying sometimes.
I use it with Yahoo! messenger and never gave me any problems. The visual effects sofware is very entertaining. You can also use it for photo capture, sound, and video recording.
Overall, this webcam is highly recommended for people without any built-in cameras on their notebook computers. -- Great compact notebook camera
