Digital Cameras

I was quite dissapointed in my purchase truthfully. It took two weeks for delivery which I thought was alot. When I received the item there was visible damage on one whole side of the box. It was taped up but the box was ripped open. When I opened the box there was visible damage on the desktop on the side of the desk that was on the box damaged side. There was a three foot cruical piece to the table that was missing from the box and several of the parts were mismarked, meaning that the part in the box labled with a "c" did not correspond with the diagram. I called the company and they sent me a new desk and I received that in five days. This one was not damaged on the outside of the box . But it did have more mismarked parts inside again. I got the desk put together and it works great. It definitly was not a very good second purchase from Amazon.com. Thanks , Cheryl

I bought this laptop table because it was inexpensive and hoping that it was easy to install, but it took my boyfriend and I two hours to put together. On top of that, the holes that allows you to adjust the height of the desk is mismatched, making mine sitting at the lowest level. The table is unsturdy and it took too long to put it together. The tools they give you is crap and you will get so frustrated at using it that you will feel like throwing it across the room. if you want to spend some quality time with your loved ones, then this is highly recommended. If not, look for another product. p.s. when the box arrived at my house 8 days later, the cardboard was ripped and you can see what was contained inside.

I just finished assembling this unit, and I'm using it while writing this review. I have to say that this product exceeds my expectations. I went with the lower priced desk (around $50 total) because this is the first product of its kind that I purchase. I am loving it already, the adjustable height is great, and the adjustable angle of the desk as well. Product came with everything needed for assembly which didn't take that long to do(it might be a little bit tedious dealing with some of the small screws, make sure you tighten them well but not over the limit - I guess this is common sense lol). Quality seems good so far (I hope it lasts long). The only thing that could be improved in my opinion is the length of the left (main) desk. I don't know if that would be possible though because it is already kinda heavy. Anyways I give this product 5 stars for the price, features and quality (mostly price because it was the cheapest within the alternatives).

I bought this laptop stand for my mother along with a laptop for Christmas. It works perfectly. Great price compared to the others I have seen on here, and the quality is good. I just got my own laptop and will be buying one for myself shortly! I cannot wait to get it.

I bought this because it was priced considerably lower than the alternatives, and came in the color scheme I wanted. It was fairly easy to assemble, and is larger than one might expect. However, the factory packs the parts in such a way that one or more pieces of the metal components ends up loose in the box, causing damage in transit that may range from minor scratches to major defacement of the table top. Mine arrived with two small chips in the top and slight marring on one of the metal parts, but I've decided I can live with those flaws. If this had been priced even $20 more, I would have returned it instead.

Bought this for myself to test before i purchased one for my girlfriend. I liked how small it was and easy to attach to my laptop (HP Elitebook). IT was extremely easy to use, just plug and play. Takes good photos and videos and works with all popular programs like Skype and MSN messenger. The only thing that affects the quality of the image and use is wireless or some people have slower connections.

My old laptop came without a camera. I wanted one to make Skype video calls. Most cameras are large and bulky. This one is relatively small. It works good but I have to change my microphone setting every time I reboot. My PC always defaults to the PC microphone input rather than the C905 microphone input.

We've been using this camera for over a year now and have zero negative things to say about it. Others who see our video through Skype (what we use it for primarily) report really clear picture and tracking. We did not install the software that came with the camera but just plugged it into our Win XP computer. It works flawlessly. When we want to take it with us on a trip, it packs neatly into its small carry pouch. We like this so much that we have recommended it and bought it for others in our family. We highly recommend it and would buy another if it ever stops working.

I purchased this item last October. It worked for a few months with Skype. I used once a week at most. Then it intermittently worked. I contacted Logitech customer service, usual troubleshooting, confirmed it was a probem with the web cam. I even bought a replacement one before I realized it was covered under warranty. New one works great. The problem is Customer Service, which seems more like Customer Bullying. They are making is difficult to return and it is a long process. They wanted me to do this with my amazon receipt > Make a hardcopy of your receipt in your computer by either taking a screenshot or scanning it. > open the file then press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. > open MS Paint in your computer then press Ctrl + V. This will paste the receipt to your ms paint. > click on File > Save As. Please make sure to change the file format to JPEG (second drop down menu ) > then save. you now have a jpeg format of your receipt then when replying to the email from logitech, just > attach the receipt file by clicking on the attach icon ( ussualy a paperclip logo) then send.(Their incorrect spelling) Also, please include yopur phone number on your next reply. (their incorrect spelling) I never even made it to Step 1. I am reasonably intelligent and know a lot about computers. That's why I call this bullying. If you can deal with customer "service" like this, buy this product, but just remember if anything goes wrong, no guarantees. There are a lot of disgruntled customers out there in cyberland. In my case, thank goodness Amazon Customer Service stepped in and helped immensely to resolve this problem.

This was a gift for my in-laws so they could use Skype to see their grandchildren, so it had to be easy to use. It was very easy to install and configure, and it works well with Skype. Picture quality is about what you would expect for the price. The little carrying case is a nice bonus.

The speakers were received on time and in perfect condition. They operate as described, good, but not great, but value for the money. As other reviews indicated I had to buy RCA speaker extension wires, but @ $ 1.99 for 10 feet, this was no problem.

I was looking to create a affordable home theater experience and I managed to do so for just 300 dollars. I have these speakers plugged to an hd 22 inch screen and mainly use my ps3 for gaming and music. For its size and price, the surround sound these speakers provide is more than good. When u crank the volume up and set the speakers correctly, as in front left, front right, back left, back right, you'll pick up every sound that you normally wouldn't hear. Now of course, these are relatively small speakers, so if you're trying to set up home theater in a spacious room like a living room, then maybe you should shop for a more expensive product and bigger. However, if you're looking for surround sound in a bedroom or a small room compared to a living room, then this is the way to go. The cables attached are long in size, so you dont have to worry about length. The back speakers can be hung on wall or used on a stand. My only complain with these speakers is that you must set the volume at least halfway to get a loud enough sound. If you set the volume less than midway, you can barely hear anything, but again it depends on how close you are sitting by the speakers. Bottom line though, I suggest these to anyone looking for a good surround sound experience and gaming.

for the price i really did'nt think i would be getting much as far as sound quality, but i was so wrong they are very good speaker. i was replacing altec lansing speakers that i paid almost three times as much for, they were great but after a few years my sub stopped working. i didn't want to spend as much as i had in the past so, i got the logitech x-540 speakers. i really got top of the line speakers for bottom of the line budget.

I got this speaker System at Circuit City (R.I.P) a couple years ago. They sound great but the Cords are just way to short and makes it so no matter what you possibly do you cannot set these speakers up CORRECTLY! just every Cord is too short even the control and it's Hardwired in like i said you cant really do anything to remedy it

I'm very happy with these. I've got a small dorm living room and these speakers are perfect for the small space. The sound really fills out the area. Any louder and it would be too much. Very happy with these, and especially with the price.

I should deduct one star just for Logitech forcing an upgrade since they won't make Windows 7 drivers for the older Orbit model camera, even though it works fine in Vista. So I decided to buy the newer Orbit AF and while it's money I'd rather not have spent, there's no question that this is a better camera than the Orbit MP. They just better not stop making drivers for this in the near future.

I am always overseas and I bought for my wife, I think part of the problem is the poor internet connections in Asia, but the picture and sound quality work good sometimes, but other times just average. The Face detection with motorized lens rarely work and when it does it goes to ceiling. Not worth the money, I get the same quality and better face detection on cheaper models.

bought this cam for skype and works just wonderful. It was very easy to install I did go straight to Logitech website for drivers and installation instead of using the disk that way I received the newest drivers. works great on Windows 7 64-Bit no problems. I have found this is one over all Great Web cam for the price WOW

I am so happy I purchased this item. Easy to install and set up, works perfectly with great quality picture and sound. The Auto Focus feature is great and this is an unbeatable product for the price. It suits my needs to a T, and I'm very satisfied and happy with my purchase.

The Logitech Quickcam Orbit AF is a great piece of webcam tech. When searching for a good quality webcam, I wanted to make sure it had a good framerate, range of options, and be a sturdy piece of equipment. I can say that I got exactly that. Everyone that has seen videos from the cam comment on the quality of the video and as well, the face tracking system works well, even with a couple of people in focus. The only thing that doesn't make this product a 5 star rating is one of it's attachments. It may have been because I bought this product used, but in very good condition, but I do have to say that the construction of the product makes me question it's quality. With the orbitcam comes a 9 inch connector that attaches to the base which allows the cam to be more at eye level, or for it to allow for viewing objects below it's baseline. I mainly use the cam with this connector and if the cam is bumped or nudged the connection with the base and the connector becomes lost. It really isn't a problem because I just setup the video again, but it is an annoyance, especially when talking to someone. It is a small problem, but I did want to reference it regardless. A great product nonetheless and a great seller as well.

This headset has excellent sound quality and sturdy feel. Plug-n-play right out the box. There is nothing out there that would match price and quality of this one.

I wrote a review for the regular version of these headphones (the black plastic ones.) These are very close to the regular Clearchat headset. A little too close. The only real difference I noticed was the isolation control in the mic is a little better. Comfort has not been improved at all. Logitech doesn't QUITE get it yet.

I've had hands-on experience with about 2 dozen of these headsets. Of that lot, at least 2 have died. On one, the mic went out and the other lists it is an unrecognized USB device. I tried it on XP, Vista and Win7. I didn't get a chance to RMA the bad ones but I'm sure they would've obliged. Too bad, the headset looks great and I think it was reasonably comfortable (some might disagree with the latter) I guess Logitech is cutting corners now just like everyone else; can you blame them in this economy?

These are a must for anyone who utilizes the VOIP technolgy to talk and listen over the Internet. If you attend or presents Webinars this is the product to use. I tried Logitech's ClearChat Wireless version and found it to be way sub par to their wired USB version.

A plug-n-play device isnt so plug and play. Disappointed that it takes some configuring that I still have not mastered. I was anxious to take advantage of the noise canceling feature but I cant not get the device to work as it should with sound coming from my laptop speakers instead thru the headset.

Small dongle, great range, sturdy, responsive, attractive, compact: this keyboard would be great any many price points, but at this price, it's really nice. I connect it to my home theater PC, but with the dongle ready to switch over to the wii on those rare occasions where I need it.

I just received my keyboard yesterday and I am extremely pleased with it! The keys are a little cramped, and placed differently than my laptop keys, but nothing I won't get used to. I bought this keyboard mainly to use as a Wii keyboard, and secondly as a substitute for the keyboard on my laptop - it was wonderfully easy to connect, just plug the receiver into one of your USB drives and go! 5/5, for ease-of-use, attractive style and the low price.

Dear Amazon, I paid extra for shipping because I needed it right away. You sent it USPS. So my delivery was delayed by idiotic Postal employees. I thing you should let a person know the delivery method before confirming the order. If it happens again I will not be a loyal customer anymore. Thank you, Walter Knight

This works great for the wii and I would recommend it to anyone. Light and easy to use.

I had wanted a keyboard for the wii as I do use the internet channel on my wii. This keyboard is small and compact yet has a really good feel to it. I prefer a light touch to my keyboard and this doesn't disappoint. Very responsive. Another quality product from Logitech.

I love this system. I live in a large house. So far there are 4 cams. 3 are inside, one outside. You may have to unplug/plug you main USB thing at the computer a couple of times during initial installation of cameras or software install. But after that, it's worked flawlessly. I even have another power-line network going at the same time. I use these inside cameras suctioned cups to windows pointing outside. They do really well in my opinion and the software is great. Online viewing is cool too. I work downstairs and it's a long ways up to the front door. I have a camera on the second floor that point down the driveway. I get a pop-up when the mail truck goes by, a car drives into the driveway, etc. It's FANTASTIC that I don't have to come running or won't miss a doorbell. At night, I've caught bats flying around outside. However...... I would NOT recommend it for business use where you need to report exactly what a person's faace is to the police... or need to make out a license plate number. I'm planning on adding more outside cams as they get slightly better pictures, especially at night. It'll even detect the motion of birds or squirrels if you set it up that high. So, overall, I can't recommend it enough except that perhaps it's a little expensive but looking at what you get I think it's more than worth it.

We already had the outdoor cameras set up, so this was easy to do. We use it inside of a barn on our llamas and it is wonderful! It's actually pretty good in bad lighting too. We use a light during nighttime, little bit more than a nightlight is good on them so they can sleep.

I am an Electronics installer. This is perfect for the average guy/girl Took me about 30 min to install and set up 2 camera at my 2nd home on the lake

I already had a WiLife camera, and the original was incredibly simple to set up. The new one is slightly different from the one I already had, however, and seems to have caused a conflict. When I first installed it, neither camera could be detected at all, and after several hours of trial and error (which included updating my software) I got the new one working. I still can't connect to my original camera. If you buy this camera, I suggest you buy all the cameras you plan to use at the same time, to make sure you don't run into problems adding new ones down the road.

I like this system a lot for the fact that it works as described. I have it looking out my front window to track people coming to the front door. I only found a few problems: - It seems to activate to record clips even though the motion sensed is outside the area set up in the software. I excluded the road but it still records every car that drives by. - I had it set up to email me a snapshot when it sensed motion. It worked for a while but it stopped. I guess I have to sign up for the Platinum service? - You have to sign up for the service to zoom control the camera remotely and to be able to watch recorded videos remotely. - Lastly, the most important problem. The power adapter has a fan that is very audibly noisy. It's pretty annoying, about as noisy as my Playstation 3. Sometimes the fan pick up dirt and moans even more.

it is very USER UNFRIENDLY, LOOKS GOOD BUT I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE LAST 4 hours trying to set up. use if another camera is available. if i cant get this going i have to plan to return it.

i could not believe how large the actual alarm clock was. i returned the product as I did not think it would be practical to move the clock from one location to another without notice.

I had this for a good few months now. While it did work OK initially, it started to act up about two months ago, then completely quit some 3 weeks ago. I've been communicating with their customer service since but at the speed they are moving, nothing will happen for the next 5 years... While it worked, it was OK. The picture quality was acceptable, worse than my Panasonic but usable. Not very easy to install. Every time the computer reboots, the cameras go offline and do not restart automatically so it becomes useless if a storm turns your power off for even a few seconds. The remote viewing was alright, too. But you cannot pan or tilt the camera so you are limited to whatever field of view you start with. Overall, it seems I just wasted close to $1000 on this system and it definitely does not deliver as advertised. Sorry, Logitech, it's pure junk.

At first glance, wanted to give this a 5 star rating, but there's some sorely lacking features. Is it a working camera? Yes, it does it's job decently, but it could of been so much more. With this hefty price tag, it should of been so much more. #1 - At log in, it's not password encrypted. So anyone can stumble to your computer, click on it and they would discover the camera which would ruin the purpose of Hidden camera. #2 - No alarm clock - at $250, I would think they can afford to put an alarm function. It would make the clock a lot more real, hard to imagine a digital clock this big, this heavy, yet no alarm? #3 - The extra Platinum service - This is the real sucker here. Functions that should have been included - pan, focus, password entry, it's there, but you have to pay more for it, as if $250 for a camera isn't enough. #4 - Must plug into wall - It's a wireless camera, but it must be plugged into the wall, making it no longer wireless. #5 - Vista users - don't bother. It does not work out of the box, I couldn't figure it out. Fortunately I have several computers at home, hooked it up to XP, setup is a breeze. #6 - Logitech sticker at the bottom of the camera - hard to remove. Anyone with any knowledge of the brand Logitech would immediately sense something wrong here, when did Logitech start making cheapy clocks with no alarm? Would I recommend this camera? Yes, only because there isn't anything else on the market to the general public. If you have XP, setup is a breeze, pic. quality is decent, the hidden camera is well made, no matter how you look at it, it's a clock, though sorely lacking the alarm feature. If they added those features mentioned, even at $300 it would be worth it, but without it, it just feels like an incomplete product.

We bought this product as my in-laws live at an assisted living facility and were concerned with bruises and soreness that could not be explained. I ordered one of these units and when I received and put it together, I noticed the connection for the power cable on the clock to be very loose. We thought we'd try it anyway and found that the slightest movement or brushing against the power cable would disconnect the power to the click easily. After going to check on my in-laws and finding the power off on the unit regularly, with the power cable still attached, we drew the conclusion that our initial assessment was correct and sent the unit back for a replacement. We had the same problem with the replacement as well and sent it back for a refund. The unit does not operate well under low light, so I would recommend the IR light for support if you need it for low light / dark situations. When we sent the unit back as defective, we were disappointed with Amazon for holding back a portion and quoting their refund policy. We understand that in cases that related to a reason like, "I just didn't like it ..." why they would do that, but where we received two defective units, we just expected ...... perhaps I guess a bit to much, like doing the right thing. The unit was fairly easy to setup and connect, but had a very limited field of view. All in all, we were not happy with the product and hope they do further work on quality control in design and QC inspection before shipping.

I have owned two outdoor and two indoor cameras for about 12 months. I just experience my first camera failure. Consistent with the reviews I've read, one of my outdoor cameras has failed. Considering the price of these cameras I would have expected a much more durable outdoor product. In order to use all the features of the wilife system you must subscribe to a $79 per year service. Also this system does not support Windows Home Server software. As a result you must leave a second computer running all the time, even though your server is running. The "HomeLink" system can be intermittent. I am considering a D-link system which offers many different camera options, hardwired and wireless, powered exterior cases, Windows Home Server support and no annual fees. Also there are alot of IP network security cameras now available. These operate independant of a PC. Panasonic offers models for home, small business and industrial at an assortment of price ranges and features. Samsung is also in this market. These cameras offer HD resolution, true pan and scan with auto tracking, low light sensitivity down to .07 Lux, bidirectional audio and a broader operational temperature range. They store images locally within the cameras but allow you to download to your PC's hard drive or to another website. All these features come at a price though.

It's not the best construction and it's not the best quality video but it could not be any easier to install and use and the picture quality is fine. For the money and ease of use it's a pretty good deal.

Purchased this "add on camera" to gain another view for the master system. Installed easily, made of good quality, and a good picture. This whole system is very easy to set up and use. very happy with it............

This camera came up instantly once plugged in; I was impressed. Mounted high and pointed slightly down per the instructions, it is about 25' from my front door. When I stand just outside my front door, I cannot make out facial details of myself; Identify someone breaking in that I don't know - about impossible.

Plug in the camera, plug in the receiver, attach the receiver to your computer USB port, load the software. That's it! The picture quality is much better than the traditional 200x300 analog cameras, requires no coax to be run, is more reliable than wireless since it communicates across your house power wiring. You can even monitor your home security system across the internet.
