Very nice cam for the price. You can tell the difference between 720P and standard def. I bought it as a toy but I can see myself actually using more that I thought. I wish it had an option to use on a standard LCD desktop monitor. That would have been nice. Believe it or not, not all current laptops (Even 17" ones) can do 720P. This is where you might come across some video quality issues at lower resolutions. At 720P, this shines. Windows 7 automatically downloads and installs the software so you do not need the included CD. Trying to jerry-rig it to fit on top of my 25" LCD monitor.

The auto-focus of this camera is so sensitive that doesn't stop to trying to focus every 5 seconds. Contacted microsoft and they don't have a fix but disabling the auto focus, which I have to disable the True Color settings. Without theses options to be used, this camera is no diferent than a $9.99 webcam. Returned mine.

    Comments about Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks Webcam:

    This webcam is not good at all for a desktop, the reason is because the cable is too short and the clip does not hold on a standard flat screen monitor. Don't waste your money if you have a desktop computer.

      When someone who is talking to you sees you move, you become unfocused for a bit until the camara refocuses.Lag time is disturbing to contacts. They always say-whats going on with your camara.

          Comments about Microsoft LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks Webcam:

          The constant and slooowwwww adjustment of the autofocus makes this camera not worth the package it came in. Surely some product testing on Microsoft's part would have found this obvious problem. I constantly get complaints from people on the other end about the focus coming in and out. I've tried the camera in all kinds of lighting conditions but always come out with the same result. Buy something else.

                • A:

                  This unit will work with a desktop computer, as it plugs into any USB port. However, the cord is very short (approximately 29"), so may have a difficult time reaching a USB port on a CPU if it is far from the monitor. It can, however, be plugged into a monitor that has an extra USB port in the back.

                  The camera is really for a laptop...so the cord is fairly short. I connected thru my monitor's usb so the cord length was not too big of an issue.
