[AG-TECH] Logitech QuickCam Orbit

[Jennifer Teig von Hoffman]

Personally, I like the QuickCam Orbit. I haven't tried a lot of other USB cameras, so I can't say I've got many points of comparison, but here are a couple of the things I like:

* The stand lets me position the camera near eye level without resorting to propping it up with kleenex boxes, sticking it to my monitor with velcro, etc.

* The bundled software has convenient features (the options for different types of lighting are handy), plus goofy ones (flipping the image horizontally never fails to get a laugh).

Now, on the down side, given my desk I don't need optical zoom, but I can see where some would. Also, the face tracking is pretty much useless, but again it's a feature I don't need at my desk.
