Oh, wow. Sorry. I fell asleep there. What was I saying? Oh, yeah. One for your notebook. The LifeCam VX-7000 and NX-3000 don’t seem to do all that much more than most webcams available today, but you figure since it’s a MS product it’ll work nice with MSN Messenger and Photo Swap. Making a video call is a breeze thanks to the Windows Live Call button located at the top of each LifeCam. They do some other stuff as well.

VX-7000

The LifeCam VX-7000 includes a 2.0-megapixel sensor to deliver High Definition video and still photography, and interpolated 7.6-megapixels.

The VX-7000’s additional features and benefits include the following:

The slim, glossy, sleek design allows the LifeCam to blend seamlessly into the PC monitor.

The built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation delivers crystal-clear audio.

A 71-degree, wide-angle lens fits more people on the screen at once.

Automatic adjustments for low-light conditions provide superior color quality.

The glass element lens delivers clear video quality.

An illuminated LED indicates the camera is in use.
