The common-or-garden webcam has fallen into the same bracket as keyboards and mice for most PC users: as long as it works, the cheapest one will do. That makes Microsoft's £47 inc VAT LifeCam Studio quite the difficult sell. Microsoft is making that sell...
It isn't cheap, but it's simple to operate and image quality is excellent – and it can record 1080p if you have the software...

A 1080p webcam sounds a little ridiculous doesn't it. But of course, webcams aren't just for video calls, they're for recording your thoughts to YouTube, presenting a video podcast or lip syncing to Carly Rae Jepsen. They are, in fact, cheap camcorder...

At first the price looks alarming, but you can get this camera for £65 or less if you look about. We don't like the fact that the autofocus is dreadful, and the minor glitch when using a USB hub is irritating, but forgivable. But the picture quality of...

It's been a while since I last purchased a webcam. In fact, the last time I did, high definition webcams were only just becoming the ‘in' thing and the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 was one of the leading choices. It set me back AU$129, and featured a 2MP se...

The Microsoft LifeCam Studio is a high end HD webcam for Windows computers. It is touted as the first webcam with a full 1080p sensor, and has a sleek “industrial” brushed aluminum design. I’m not so sure how necessary a 1080p webcam is, but maybe it i...

Priced at anywhere between $99.99 - 139.99 US, the Microsoft LifeCam Studio isn’t exactly the least expensive webcam on the market, but it easily outperforms many of the offerings that you find at cheaper price points. The 1080p HD sensor provides re...

Comparing this camera to your standard VGA webcam isn’t really fair; this is a luxury item and it performs like it. At a hundred bucks, it’s still a hard sell, though: even if it performs very well, there are less opportunities for it to perform than...
