    This is me talking on the webcam and playing around with some of the special effects.

    Here’s a few pointers from Logitech’s website:

    “Vid doesn’t currently connect with Windows Live Messenger(tm), AIM®, Yahoo! ® Messenger, or Skype(tm). But there’s nothing that would prevent you from using other IM and calling services in addition to Vid on the same computer.”

    And of course, the computer requirements:

    “Vid works with Windows XP, Microsoft(tm) Vista, or Windows 7. We recommend a CPU that’s 2.5GHz or faster.
    Macintosh: Vid works with Tiger 10.4.11 or higher, Leopard 10.5.0 or higher, Safari 3.0 or newer and we recommend a G4 1GHz or faster processor. And of course, Vid can work with Intel Processors as well.
    Other operating systems: Sorry we don’t have a version of Logitech® Vid for Linux.”

    Also, for Playstation 3 owners – this cam works for chat sessions and games like Burnout Paradise!

    I already have another Logitech webcam, the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (Formerly QuickCam Pro 9000). When I plugged the C600 webcam in to my computer (an HP desktop with Vista 64-bit) the drivers installed quickly, and the webcam was ready to use within a few seconds.

    It worked perfectly, giving excellent 2 megapixel videos and 8 megapixel photos. In switching between this webcam and the Pro 9000, it was almost impossible for me to discern a difference in the picture quality. I think the color with the Pro 9000 is a bit more accurate, but the sharpness on both cameras is excellent. The only differences I can find are these:
    (1) the C600 has a “premium glass lens” (no maker is specified), while the Pro 9000 has a “Carl Zeiss lens system”
    (2) the Pro 9000 has an autofocus feature; the C600 does not (however, the focus on the C600 seemed as good as the Pro 9000′s)
    (3) the C600 is a much lighter plastic and a different shape; the Pro 9000 seems much sturdier

    As of my review date, Amazon gives a 27% discount on the Pro 9000 and none on the C600, making the higher quality Pro 9000 less expensive than the C600. I have no reservations about recommending the C600, but as long as the C600 costs more than (or is the same as) the Pro 9000, I’d opt for the Pro 9000.

    Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)

    Through Amazon Vine, I recently received a review unit of the Logitech Webcam C600. Of all the webcams I’ve owned and used, this is probably the best of all of them. They don’t work and perform much better than this.

    As with most Logitech items, the install was painless. Put the CD in, plug in the camera when the prompt comes up, and you’re pretty much done. There’s an option to Logitech’s video mail service, but I passed on that one as I have far too many other mail services already.

    When I started the camera, I was impressed with both the video and sound quality. The video ranges from small standard def sizing to full-screen high-def video. And with their face-tracking feature, you can actually move around a bit in front of the camera and stay centered in the picture. The sound was even more of a surprise. I was able to get excellent recording quality with the cam sitting a normal distance from where I’d be sitting. I even had a fair amount of residual background noise, and it didn’t distract or overrun the volume and quality of the playback. Very nice…

    There were a couple of nice features in the actual hardware, also. The base features the fold-out stand that allows you to prop the camera up on a variety of video screens. But it also folds flat enough that you can set it on a desk without it falling over. The top part of the camera has a flip-down privacy cover, which is highly convenient. You just slide it down over the lens, and you are assured of complete privacy from inadvertent viewing.

    I would highly recommend the Logitech Webcam C600 for anyone who was in the market for one. For the price and feature set, it’s hard to beat.
