Webcam Goes Wide
Widescreen technology is everywhere these days, built into virtually every new notebook, desktop monitor and flat-panel TV, and today Microsoft Hardware sets a new standard for webcams with the launch of LifeCam Cinema, the first consumer webcam on the PC to offer widescreen video with a native 720p sensor. LifeCam Cinema webcam's 720p widescreen sensor delivers clear, quality videos - without leaving anyone or anything out of the shot.
 LifeCam Cinema features Auto Focus to keep video sharp from across the room all the way up to 4 inches from the webcam |
As the only PC consumer webcam on the market today with a native 720p sensor that delivers widescreen video capture at 16:9,2 LifeCam Cinema provides 720p high-definition video and features Auto Focus to keep video sharp from across the room all the way up to 4 inches from the webcam. Also launching with LifeCam Cinema is Microsoft’s ClearFrame Technology, which offers faster image processing technology to help deliver smooth video at any resolution and improved noise reduction technology to reduce image graininess and keep video sharp. Finally, the LifeCam Cinema webcam’s widescreen technology allows the widest angle of capture ever for a Microsoft webcam, at 74 degrees — no need to worry about leaving anything out of the shot again.

LifeCam Cinema was created to deliver an experience like the movies, with great high-definition (HD) video and clear sound. However, life doesn't happen on a movie set, and most people don't have a lighting team in their house to make them look camera-ready. In common indoor settings (low-light situations) LifeCam Cinema delivers an easy way to show amazing video quality. Maintaining a high frame rate even in the lowest lighting, LifeCam Cinema helps ensure that users look well lit and that video remains smooth.
 LifeCam Cinema provides 720p high-definition video with reduced image graininess, increased sharpness and vibrant colours, maintaining a high frame rate even in the lowest lighting. |
LifeCam cinema incorporates a digital microphone with noise cancelling technology helps improve speech quality for crystal clear audio. It also has an aluminium body, which reduces its weight and improves the durability of the webcam body.
LifeCam Cinema works with:
Windows LiveTM
Yahoo! Messenger
AOL Instant Messenger

this is a great quality webcam both for video quality AND sound. We use this at work for video conferencing and works great with Skype. Make sure youckeck out the correct spec for this camera as it's quite a rareity that you need a high spec PC to run at HD quality!
all in all the quality of the wide angled camera is great and it can pick up sound from quite a distance, great price through Amazon too, by far the cheapest I have seen!

The webcam comes with a CD which you load onto your PC. Half way through it tells you to connect the webcam to your PC and the next thing you know is that it is fully operational. I am using Windows 7 and the installation took a couple of minutes and could not have been easier. I have fitted the webcam to the top of my screen and there are other options. The picture is excellent. This is a very good buy.
