You will never miss a business meeting with this webcam in your bag, because it allows you to talk directly with employers, employees, clients, and colleagues. The camera features a 1080p HD sensor for superior video quality, so images are sharp and clear. The Microsoft LifeCam Studio webcam is optimized for Windows Live, with a call button on the front that enables you to easily start a video call with Windows Live Messenger. The webcam is also compatible with AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Skype. A three-year limited hardware warranty ensures this webcam will keep broadcasting superior video whenever you need to communicate visually.

Wide-Angle Lense
The Microsoft LifeCam Studio webcam uses a wide-angle lens, so your video feeds benefit from high-precision optics. The camera can view images at a wide enough angle to record your whole body when you're standing in front of your computer. With its auto-focus feature, the webcam captures only the images you want to broadcast.

TrueColor and ClearFrame Technology
Microsoft's LifeCam Studio webcam uses TrueColor technology to capture bright video in vivid colors in all lighting conditions, so you don't have to worry about finding a room with adequate lighting to conduct a video chat. The webcam also uses ClearFrame technology to stabilize the video feed, ensuring that you capture smooth, detailed images, even if the camera moves around a bit.

High-Fidelity Microphone
The LifeCam Studio webcam includes a high-fidelity microphone, so the sound you capture is as precise as the images. To get the most out of your webcam, make sure your computer is running Windows 7, Windows Vista with service pack 1 or higher, or Windows XP.

    IF you are doing Skype, DO NOT put in the software that comes with it. I read all of the documentation and installed software, then I find out that can't do Skype with it. I've been on the phone with Microsoft at least 6 times and they have not figured out how to get everything off of my computer. Frustrating. I have been 'elevated' so now it may be resolved. So, if you want to do pictures and such, it is great - but if you want to do Skype, just plug it in and forget the software. Frustrating.

            We had another for nearly 2 years and all of a sudden the microphone stopped working. Still haven't an answer for it. Another thing was when I comparing prices your website showed model # Q2F-00013. When I went to the store they only had Q2F-00001. I really didn't get an answer as to the differences between the two.

                  I have been back and forth trying to decide which web cam to buy. I have looked at the life cam cinema and life cam studio and is it worth the extra money for 720p vs 1080p? Help ! thanks

                  • A:

                    The question of the extra cost is how lifelike to your need your image to be. 720p is a standard tv quality picture. 1080p HD, what you actually see with your eye. For the typically use the 720p is adequate.

                    I apologize but I am not sure what you mean by the "tripos" connection. The base of this webcam will be able to sit on top of a typical monitor. This will work with Windows Vista.
