Normally webcams provide blurry images whence one just manages to imagine what the person on the other side looks like. Even if you do manage to see the person, the image is quite grainy. Here?s when Microsoft decided to bring in a difference. A difference which the users are sure to love. A difference with high definition.

The Microsoft Lifecam is a smart looking device. The webcam has a full aluminum body and it?s prime focus is its 720p HD sensor (it has an LED indicator below it), which has a protective silver band around it. Its flexible rubber base is an amazing support and it stands firm on any surface. It stands at 2 inch on the base and its aluminum body makes it light yet durable. It can rotate 360 degree from the base and can be tilted up and down. Right on the top is a digital microphone with noise canceling technology.

Now, what makes Microsoft Lifecam superior to other webcams? It is the 720p HD sensor with auto focus. 720 pixel is a major breakthrough and is quite new for webcams. Apart from the detailed video and clear sound system, its small size and design is going to impress the users.

Its 16:9 aspect ratio offers a wide field of view which in simple terms means, you can see the whole room unmistakably. No other webcam offers the same widescreen. It is compatible with Yahoo! messenger, Windows live, AOL instant messenger and Skype. You can also change the settings in the chat messenger once you have installed its driver in your computer. The cable is adequately long.

It uses clean frame technology which will deliver smooth and clear video. One can upload clear videos on Facebook and video chatting will be a good experience as well. It has the ability to adjust to the room light itself, which makes it all the more a good product.

At about 4k, its priced higher than normal webcams, but, considering the fact that it is HD and a well performing one, it is definitely worth checking out.
