Philips PC Camera

Pros: High image quality, tripod holds camera well
Cons: The rubber foot base is a poor design, Philips has a better camera available now

...then get the ToUCam Pro. It's cheaper and better. If you can find it.

The Philips Vesta Pro Scan is a good camera, it works well in all lighting situations if you don't mind fiddling with the camera controls. I rank it within the top 5 of...

Pros: Low cost, decent image quality, built in microhpone
Cons: The IRS has better customer service; You won't believe how bad the web site is.

I bought my Philips Web Cam on impulse. It was cheaper than the Logitech model and Netmeeting is all the rage if you telecommute so I added it to my basket and have paid for that "savings" ever since.

The cute, duck like feet don't attach to...

Pros: Built in microphone, fairly good picture
Cons: Lousy footholder, extremely poor customer service (drivers). Driver not compatible with OS its written for.

This webcam would be good if it wasnt for the poor drivers. I received a floppy disk and a cdrom and the floppy had newer drivers!? which are the only ones that work which renders the cdrom useless (all Windows versions). Go for a logitech cam instead. I...

Pros: great for conferencing
Cons: scanning is mediocre

The new video cameras and software messaging is a novelty for many people. It is also used for conferencing. The new version Philips Pc Camera has a scanning option, which previous versions did not have.

The camera works with a resolution...

Pros: Easy intallation, easy to take shots.
Cons: Short cord, not a webcam.

The Philips PC Camera looks like a cute little webcam for your PC right? The question is, is it really a webcam, and is it really cute?

We received the camera from my father as a gift. Immediately we plugged it in and installed it. The...

Pros: cost effective, Great software included, Copes well with artificial light
Cons: Inability to handle live website imaging, lightweight microphone, difficult installation for novice

If you are fed up of typing why not send video images instead?

If you are getting typists cramp! From all these epinions you are writing and video images will do, you could do a lot worse than investing in a Philips Pro PC Video Camera.

Pros: Discount price, awesome software bundle
Cons: Needs bright lighting, Win98 only

After doing tons of research, it's clear that, if you've got the money to spend, the 3Com Home Connect camera ($150) is the best consumer PC camera available. For $129, Kodak's DVC 325 is also a good camera. However, that's a lot of money to spend for...

Pros: Great picture quality, Award winning design
Cons: Microphone not compatible w/my computer

KERPLUNK!!…The loud noise of a box being thrown at my door told me that it was here. The Philips Vesta Pro PC Camera (PCVC680K) I had ordered a week ago had finally arrived!

So I open up the box. Inside, there is the camera, two CD-ROMs, a...

Pros: Value, image quality, software
Cons: Adjusting camera angle, red light

This review is for the PCA645VC, which has been replaced by newer models.

I purchased this because I thought it would be a fun thing to have and because Philips can generally be trusted for quality; the price was right ($35 auction).
...

Pros: Works as advertised.
Cons: Could use better driver support.

I run a web-site with a few webcams. The Philips USB cam sits over my infant son's cradle, providing sharp graphics and an excellent, fully-featured TWAIN driver.

The "base" the unit sits on, should you choose to use it, is...

Pros: Good live web cam image quality; USB
Cons: Incompatible w/CU-SeeMe; Mounting base does not hold cam very well; Very poor website support

I purchased the Philips PCA-645VC USB webcam roughly two years ago to run on my Win98 system. A visit to the Philips website reveals that they have a new generation of web camera products, and this particular model is apparently no longer available....

Pros: Great Images, Relatively Cheap, Great Stand
Cons: Win2000 Install Issues.

Finally I had a reason to use Microsoft Netmeeting but that's another story. As a result I found myself at the store looking at the webcams for sale. Ended up buying two that night - the Philips Vesta Pro and the IBM PC Cam Pro. I wanted to...

Pros: ?? wouldn't know!
Cons: Everything!

I bought this camera as a complete novice on a computer and a "virgin" on the internet. It was a purchase made purely on advise from a salesman at a well know computing store, thinking I was being given the best advise. Oh how wrong I was! I...

Pros: Easy to Use, good quality Image, Easy to install
Cons: cord is fairly short, software needs more options

After buying one webcam that did not work from a well known brand I was worried that I would not find a good one. The Phillips webcam however, renewed my faith and brought it to a new level. It is so easy to use and has very clear quality of pictures....

Pros: Good price, nice picture quality
Cons: It's kind of ugly

About 2 months ago, I decided I wanted to do something for ME, so I went out and got a PC camera. I didn't want to spend too much, but I definitely wanted a USB, so it limited my options a bit. I decided on the Philips PC camera for a few reasons....
