 Way too expensive for Skype July 24, 2008
This is a high-end webcam in Logitech's lineup. The quality seems ok to me, although it is still made of plastic like every other webcam.
The big gimmick here is the motorized auto-tracking capability, which turns out to work quite poorly. It is not a problem of the facial recognition software. I can see it identifying my eyes and mouth correctly. Instead, the motor seems rather clumsy and inconsistent at following my movement. Logitech will do well by upgrading to better mechanical components.
The camera itself has a decent resolution. Unfortunately, none of the people I skype has the bandwidth to receive HD images, so the feature is again wasted.
Considering the nearly $100 price, I cannot say this camera represents good value. Logitech is never cheap, but this one really comes close to being a rip-off. The built-in camera with my notebooks work just as well for Skype. Perhaps the QuickCam Orbit makes sense for people doing a lot of video-blogging, but for the rest of us, a built-in camera in the monitor actually takes up less space and costs significantly less too.
Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF July 18, 2008
Great WebCam. Be sure to check Logitech website to download updated drivers BEFORE loading the software drivers from the (included) CD.
Video, Audio performance 4-5 star. This, coupled with the usual expert ordering and delivery services of Amazon.com made this an enjoyable purchase.
 SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! July 8, 2008

I bought this camera a week ago and I just contacted technical support about it. Althoug it does offer great visual quality, it does not follow you at a 360 degree angle. It follows you at a 180 degree MANUALLY. By itself, using the 'follow me/face tracking' automatic mode it takes a long time for it to follow you, sometimes does not follow you at all (without getting up of your chair) or if it does, it focuses your body, not your face, or it may get focused on your previous position and not move to your new one AT ALL. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I'M ABOUT TO RETURN IT.
Best Webam I've Ever Owned July 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the third webcam I have owned- the first a $25 cheap one from Wal-Mart, and the second the Microsoft Life Cam 6000. The Orbit AF definitely has the best picture quality of all those webcams, and I love that it has pan/tilt/zoom all by the click of the mouse. I don't use the face tracking, as I prefer to have the cam also on the upper part of my body and not just my face. I've used this cam on Yahoo, MSN, and a chat site I sometimes go to, and the only problem I've had is that for some reason the microphone doesn't work on MSN. I don't understand why it doesn't work on MSN when it works on the others, and I have no idea how to fix it. Other than that it's a great cam and worth the money if you want a high quality webcam.
 Lives up to the hype. June 30, 2008

This has been a great product for me. The friend I video chat with says that it looks like she's watching me on cable... very clear and very smooth. We use Skype, which has built-in High Quality technology that works with this webcam. Before that kicks in it's good... once it kicks in it's incredible. So great that I'm buying her the same camera... why should she get all of the High Quality video?
I don't use the built-in microphone... it's too far away from me during use to be any good.
The software that comes with it is pretty fun... for about a day.
Definitely lives up to the hype.
