The new QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks has new qualities that are supposed to improve image and sound replacing the previous QuickCam For NoteBooks Deluxe.  A high end webcam for laptops, the new version is obviously small and easily clips on the top of the screen.  There is a zoom, microphone and face tracking, which is a characteristic found more and more often in webcams.

Proven higher performance?

The Deluxe for Notebooks shows good reactivity and images are fluid even if we see the occasional light skip when the subject moves.  Sharpness is good and details are properly rendered.  As for colors, they slightly lack contrast and there is no impressive gradation of black colors.  However, overall the image is correct and pleasing to the eye. On the other hand, all of this becomes more difficult at night or when there is little ambient lighting. Noise is visible and the image loses a significant amount of detail.

Clear and precise sound

The technology developed by Logitech is supposed to reduce ambient noise and eliminate echoes.  And indeed the result is very good.  Your interlocutor’s voice is recognizable, fluid and the sound is clear whether we are facing, on the side or behind the webcam.  Ambient noise is almost inexistent and no humming is heard.

Finally, this webcam does not have any avatars but you can personalize your image with a variety of video effects.
