Though I pictured it as being much larger, this is a really small camera. It appears well engineered, not cheap. It also comes with a really neat USB cable tie.
The top of the webcam contains the microphone as well as a small button that opens Windows Live Messenger.
There are only three main functions to the software and they simply let users record still shots, audio, and video. Once a clip is saved it appears in a timeline below where it can be deleted or exported to an editing program or to e-mail. The settings menu allows users to change resolutions and color and focus settings, but we found setting adjustments to be unneeded. The autofocus works as promised on the LifeCam Cinema, and the lag time between refocuses is very small.
It's a 16:9 camera, and it has a nice wide field of view.
It is by far the best webcam that I have ever owned! At its price point I would consider this webcam to be a bargain. I recommend it to anyone looking for a webcam to share viewing with others.
