Amazon.com Product Description
Putting the power of Windows Live Messenger at your fingertips, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 takes instant messaging with family and friends to a new level of sight and sound by offering great video and crystal-clear audio with acoustic noise cancellation.


The LifeCam VX-6000 features one-touch access to Windows Live Messenger.


Enjoy megapixel resolution, a wide angle lens, and a 3x digital zoom.
Plus, you get advanced features, such as automatic face tracking software and low-light adjustment, so you feel like you're right there. The VX-6000 also adds several key enhancements over the LifeCam VX-3000, including high definition video capabilities, a wide angle lens, a 3x digital zoom, and a high-speed USB connection. View a comparison of the LifeCam VX-3000 and VX-6000.

The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 is optimized for Windows Live Messenger, which is used by the largest worldwide instant messenger community with over 200 million users. Three key features give you a superior Windows Live Experience. First, the Windows Live Call Button makes it easy to start a video call. Simply press the button to see who's online, and you're on your way to a video call. Second, with the LifeCam Dashboard you can access video effects and control your webcam from the Windows Live Messenger window. Lastly, with One-Touch Blogging, a single click allows you to upload to Windows Live Spaces, an "online scrapbook" that lets you easily post blogs, photo albums, and personal music lists.

The VX-6000's automatic face tracking software, which takes advantage of the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom controls, follows you so you don't disappear off-screen. The VX-6000's wide angle lens lets you fit more people on screen so everyone can join in the fun. Alternatively, the 3x digital zoom brings you so close that it's almost like sitting opposite the other person. The camera's high definition sensor makes it possible to experience true 1.3 megapixel video and 5.0 interpolated megapixel photos.

The camera automatically adjusts for low-light conditions for improved video quality, and a built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation provides crystal-clear audio. Video effects give you a fun way to express yourself, and last but not least, the camera's universal attachment base fits on most monitors, including flat screens. Alternatively, the camera can sit directly on your desk.

Note that while the VX-6000 is optimized for use with Windows Live Messenger, Microsoft LifeCams also work with other instant messaging programs, such as Yahoo Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger.

1 out of 5 stars Worthless   January 6, 2009

I gave this product one star because thats the lowest rating allowable...

I bought this webcam because it was on sale and as I was just starting Grad school, funds were tight. I needed a webcam for video chats with the Prof and classmates. I should have spent the extra money on the webcam I recommended to a friend (a Logitech). The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 worked exactly twice, and no more.

So, even on sale from my local Best Buy, this POS webcam failed to give me even minimal funtion or use...

Caveat emptor, it IS a Microsoft-branded product.

I think this is Not a New WebCam....so that's why the Video quality is so poor...//
I won't recommend it from this store...

I bought this for my laptop and seems to work pretty well. It picks up a lot of noise interference when sitting on top of my screen which forces me to place it off to the side or where ever I can find. So rather than having the people I'm chatting with look squarely at my face they usually get a nice view of what's up my nose. Another quirk is I have noticed the status light on even though I'm not using it. Probably would not buy again.

Easy to install and setup. Light weight can put it most anywhere on my desk. Cord is just the right length. Snapshots are good with the right light. Price was good too.


1 out of 5 stars Not worth the Trouble   December 8, 2008

This product is not even worthy of the one star I gave it. I just bought this for my parents computer because it was a good price. Now I know why. They shouldn't even give it away! It wasn't ready for the market. I have the Logitech 9000 and I recommend this. The Lifecam software never installed. I had to go online and then it didn't install properly. After 2 hours of fooling around, it is going back. This was a waste of my time and money.
