Product Description
You've never seen anything like the unique combination of form and function of the QuickCam Orbit. It features a black, ball-shaped camera that sits atop a nine-inch-high stand at your eye level. Why? So that you'll get optimal face time during your video calls or video instant messaging (IM) sessions. And when you move, it actually follows you around! The QuickCam Orbit mechanically and automatically turns left and right for almost a 180-degree horizontal view or up and down for almost 90-degree top-to-bottom view. So your smiling face will always stay in the picture.

 good quality cam April 30, 2008
C. Meyer (Phoenix United States)
good quality cam, but not as user friendly as i'd have liked it to be. i used it for about 6 months before replacing it with something else. would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a higher quality cam without wanting to spend hundreds on it.
 Logitech software brings a computer to its knees August 18, 2007

Logitech has interesting features on their web cams, but the software that supports it has serious problems. First of all, the Logitech software significantly slows down your computer. The device drivers and other associated software runs continuously--even when the web cam is not in use! To see this for yourself (if you have one), open up Task Manager (or download Process Explorer from Microsoft) and watch the CPU usage of their applications. In addition to occupying the computer's CPU for no reason, when the software is running (doing nothing) it is forcing other applications that you ARE using to be kicked out of the CPU's cache--the high-speed memory that is inside the CPU. This means that the other programs have to wait to be reloaded from main memory back into the CPU when they do finally get to run.
Second, the software has a large memory footprint. In other words, it is a memory hog. It occupies 32MB of memory when the camera is not in use. This is a totally ridiculous waste of memory.
Finally, their software is buggy. It has caused multiple "Blue Screens of Death" on my computer. That is, the BSoD screen actually lists the Logitech driver as the cause of the crash.
All in all, the hardware is nice, but it is totally worthless without software that works without totally destroying all computing power, especially when the camera is not being used.
I recommend AGAINST using not only this specific web camera, but ANY web camera from Logitech as their software has common components, so you are likely to see problems in other web cam drivers from them.

Easy to set up (PnP). Light balance works well, automatic tracking of subject works well, image quality high.
Great little cam January 1, 2007

It's easy to use, easy to set up, has decent enough picture quality, oh yeah, and it's a great price.

Overpriced! This thing only works when it wants too and I am sick of it! Stay away. I will never buy another webcam from Logitech.
