Video Conference with Logitech QuickCam Pro

According to this post on the Sydney Morning Herald:
Video Conference with Logitech QuickCam Pro

Should you buy one of Logitech’s new whiz-bang QuickCam Pro webcams? No, you should buy two. That’s not just because they’re far and away the best webcam we’ve ever used.

The reason to double-dip is that to take advantage of their superb “high quality video” mode you’ll need HQV-compatible webcams at both ends of the videochat. And only Logitech’s QuickCam Sphere AF and Pro 9000 desktop webcams, and the QuickCam Pro for notebooks, fit that bill. You’ll also need the latest Skype 3.6 for Windows (Mac owners need not apply), because HQV is purely a Logitech-Skype concoction. And a PC running an Intel Core 2 chip to handle the heavy video processing load. Plus a broadband line with at least a 384Kbps uplink speed.

HQV lets internet video calls scale up to a smooth 30 frames a second if the bandwidth is there at both ends, with a double-sized video window up to 640×480 pixels on the screen. You can immediately see far richer detail and truer colours and there’s minimal blurring during normal movement such as waving a hand.

Smells like a tech. reporter who got a couple of early xmas gifts?
