We all know that cheap webcams provide crappy framerates and horrible video quality. Don't we? So does Logitech and that's why the came up with a range of superior webcams meant to provide users with the quality and features shown in SciFi movies and TV commercials. Logitech is generally known as one of the most serious computer peripherals manufacturer and has provided users with high end alternatives for the most part of the new millennium.
The QuickCam Pro 9000 is one of the company's top webcams. It comes with a rich bundle of features among which we count Carl Zeiss optics, HD Video, RightLight 2. RightSound and Ultra-wide FOV with intelligent face tracking. Let's what these add up to.
Carl Zeiss is probably the most respected name in the industry when it comes to optics. Sony have been using Carl Zeiss optics for years in their digital cameras, and recently Nokia has also began using them in their high end phone multimedia phones.
With RightLight 2 Logitech provides hope for those frustrated users which user their webcams in low light conditions and their friends barely distinguish them from the background. The technology is supposed to intelligently adjust brightness levels and light amplification for improved video quality. RightSound technology is built into the integrated microphone for echo cancellation and audio enhancing.
Next there's the HD Video label. This thing is pretty important, but only if you have a high bandwidth connection (a.k.a. broadband). The feature means the webcam can capture 960x720 video at 30fps which is pretty close to standard HD feeds.
An ultra-wide field of view will allow your friends to see anywhere inside the room, and if you're standing in front of your monitor, the face tracking feature will keep right in the middle of the scene.
The package includes a quick start guide, 1.8m USB cable and a software CD with a lot of goodies. Everything comes nicely packed in a Logitech style box for $139.99.
