When it comes to choosing a webcam for video chat capabilities on your IM client, clarity is key. One of the best options for Windows OS users is the Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000, which offers one of the most crisp images, in addition to a bevy of experience-making features.
Worth Every Single Penny
Optimized for Windows Live Messenger users, but useful across a multitude of IM clients, the VX-1000 features 30 frame-per-second video, crystal-clear still photo quality and an amazing microphone for conversing.
For Windows Live users, however, the camera also offers some pretty cool connectivity features which make this cam a joy to use. In addition to the nifty Windows Live Call Button on the cam, which will bring up a menu of available contacts to video chat with in real-time, the VX-1000 also offers one-click video blogging to your Live account and a bevy of personalization options, including video effects.
If you have been searching for a webcam for your video chat, you can look no further.
