I found that the pictures taken in the Email size were pretty sharp and had good quality, but the 1.3MP pictures were rather poor. Also, I sometimes found that it would zoom in on objects behind me, like my iHome or jackets. Face Tracking is somewhat of a gimmick that zooms in on your face, but it does not really work, as it ends up zooming too far to just a portion of my face. QuickCapture offers Face Tracking and options to change the contrast, brightness, and color intensity.

The installation CD comes with the Logitech QuickCapture software to enhance the functionality of the webcam. Making it a wireless device would make it much more convenient to use, but I do not know the technical feasibility of this. Being designed specifically for notebooks, I would have expected a cord of 12 or 15 inches instead.
Although this is a flaw with all external webcams, it is the one problem that would keep me from using a separate webcam altogether, even if my notebook did not have a built-in webcam.Īlso irritating was the length of the USB cable at over 36 inches, it is longer than the cable on the Apple Mighty Mouse (which is annoyingly short for a mouse).
The other major annoyance I had with the design is the fact that you could not close the notebook with the webcam installed. Anything thicker and it will likely not stay on properly. The thickest screen I got it to fit onto was the 0.5” thick lid of my older Toshiba laptop even that was quite a struggle to get it to fit. And although the clip is large, it cannot accommodate thicker screens like desktop LCDs. This is quite disappointing for a device advertised as being sleek and stylish. When the unwieldy adjustable clip is factored in, the depth comes to a total of 1.5”, with an unsightly gap between the webcam and the laptop’s lid. The back of the device is where the design starts to go downhill. It is also a pretty slim device, with the webcam itself being less than half an inch thick. At just over 2-inches long and an inch wide, the QuickCam is rather large, but the design is sleek enough to mask the size. The QuickCam Deluxe features an integrated microphone, adjustable focus, glass lens, a hard-to-press snapshot button at the top, and an adjustable clip on the back, which I will get to in just a moment.

Installation and setup are pretty quick and painless, taking about 10 minutes plus a restart. Inside the box, we find the actual webcam, a mesh carrying pouch, and the installation CD. The QuickCam came in the standard Logitech box, with green and red accents. Packaging, Setup, and General Impressions Logitech QuickCam Deluxe ( view large image)
