User Reviews about Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 (Blue)

Awesome product. great picture quality. would buy. for the price i am just loving it. takes good photos records videos -- Awsome

Pros: The quality of the picture of the camera is very good. The camera's software and compatibility with other software is easy and straight forward. The installation was simple as well.

Cons: Attaching it to your computer is a little bit of a hassle, but once you get it where you want it, it has been fine.

Note: You need to install the software first before you ever plug the camera in or there will be problems, which is posted all over the instructions. This is only a problem for people who don't read the instructions. -- Very Solid Item

No problems at all, easy install, a GREAT little webcam.

Purchased based on other reviews, and agree with the other positive reviews.

This little webcam can't be beat for the price.

I purchased two (2), Green and Blue, both are working GREAT !!! -- Great WebCam for the PRICE !!!

It's my first webcam and I bought it for staying in contact with my family.
Handling is quite easy but I do not like the Microsoft-Software - I use it with Skype.
Voice-transmitting is quite well but sometimes the videostream is not as I expected. But I think thats a matter of my broadband-company or something else.
Actually I was astonished about the good video on my laptop -> thumbs up!
I recommended it to my family and they bought the same :)
-- Quite a nice camera

i was expecting it to be easy to use and install. For me it wasnt. But im not good with computers. It was supposed to contain a programming disk, but it didnt. You have to go to some hard to find website link. My experience wasnt good. It all depends on user savvy. -- microsoft lifecam review
