Review on High-quality Microsoft HD-3000 L2 LifeCam USB Camera (T3H-00016): Crystal Clear Video and Versatile Performance by Mateusz Komorowski ᠌

You need to connect it like a regular USB device: first, software from the manufacturer's website (ess, but during the installation, refuse Windows Live), and only then, when asked, connect the camera itself! In Win7x64 it started right away, Skype immediately saw it and the microphone. Definitely recommend! Has pros: 1. Sufficiently high picture quality 2. Very convenient and non-buggy software with good help. 3. Certified for use with Skype (without this, problems in Skype with HD video are very likely, up to complete inoperability) 4. MS production (this achieves the maximum level of compatibility and integration with the OS from MS) 5. Solid industrial packaging (not glamorous Retail!) 6. Relatively reasonable price Its cons: 1. There is no connection and installation instructions included. 2. MS production (simultaneously with the above-mentioned advantage :)))
