    Putting the power of Windows Live Messenger at your fingertips, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 takes instant messaging with family and friends to a new level of sight and sound by offering great video and crystal-clear audio with acoustic noise cancellation.

    Get great video and crystal-clear audio during your Windows Live Messenger chats.


    A universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens.
    The Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 is optimized for Windows Live Messenger, which is used by the largest worldwide instant messenger community with over 200 million users. Three key features give you a superior Windows Live Experience. First, the Windows Live Call Button makes it easy to start a video call. Simply press the button to see who's online, and you're on your way to a video call. Second, with the LifeCam Dashboard you can access video effects and control your webcam from the Windows Live Messenger window. Lastly, with One-Touch Blogging, a single click allows you to upload to Windows Live Spaces, an "online scrapbook" that lets you easily post blogs, photo albums, and personal music lists.

    The VX-3000's automatic face tracking software, which takes advantage of the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom controls, follows you so you don't disappear off-screen. Meanwhile, the camera automatically adjusts for low-light conditions for improved video quality, and a built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation provides crystal-clear audio. Video effects give you a fun way to express yourself, and last but not least, the camera's universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens. Alternatively, the camera can sit directly on your desk.

    Note that while the VX-3000 is optimized for use with Windows Live Messenger, Microsoft LifeCams also work with other instant messaging programs, such as Yahoo Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger.

    If you want the next level of performance from your LifeCam, consider the Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000, which adds high definition video capabilities, a wide angle lens, a 3x digital zoom, and a high-speed USB connection. View a comparison of the LifeCam VX-3000 and VX-6000.

    5 out of 5 stars A great piece of equipment   October 8, 2008

    I'm a tad bit behind on some technology gagdets...and this product was more simple and helpful than I thought. It is very easy to install and has step by step instuctions. As far as in the quality, it has a very crisp picture as well as the sound too...I would definitely recommand this webcam.

    I ordered this item from Amazon on August 23, 2008. It's now September 27th and the projected ship date is October 6th. Amazon has been saying on the product page "Usually ships in 7 to 9 days", but lately, no indication of delays on product page. No matter how good it is, nothing is no better than nothing!

    I am pretty satisfied with this camera, but it seems to adjust to different light levels in a less than ideal fashion.
