I have to say first up, that I've always been a big fan of Logitech's webcams, a quick look in my drawers reveals that I've owned 4 different models and to be honest each has been good.
So it's not surprising that I jumped at opportunity to review their latest offering - the QuickCam Pro 9000.
The QuickCam Pro 9000 is a big step up in the world of webcams, this model incorporates would leading camera optics specialist Carl Zeiss optics and also supports the capturing of High Definition HD video.
It can handle 30 frames per second and take 8 megapixel photos (not that anyone really wants to take photos with a webcam).
As with previous models of Logitech webcams the QuickCam Pro 9000 has a built-in microphone and uses Rightsound technologies to cancel out any echoing (try turning this off in a video conference if you want to see how much a difference it makes).
The camera itself has been well designed to fit on a Flat Panel, CRT or laptop screen without issue. It has a bright red in-use light and looks very smart on top of any screen.
I was impressed with the quality of video feed from the QuickCam Pro 9000, it was noticeably clearer than the image I was getter form my older QuickCam Pro 5000 webcam.
The QuickCam Pro 9000 did a much better job of compensation when I started to close curtains to fully test the Rightlight 2 intelligence, and even in low light performed surprising well.
The QuickCam Pro 9000 with its Carl Zeiss optics is a great web cam.
The Autofocus, Rightlight 2 and Rightsound technologies meant that all the background environmental issues which can degrade a video conference or web call are compensated for without any user interaction.
The install and configuration are easy and once installed the QuickCam Pro 9000 just works the way you would hope all webcams should work.
The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 is $179 from electronic shops.
