The Lifecam VX-7000 offers a reasonable performance in most areas, but $150 is a pretty big ask for a webcam; particularly when some of its premium features don't work properly. Only consider buying if you're a Windows Live fan.

Review : Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000

It is described as a notebook <b>web</b> cam, I see no reason why it should not be used with any flat panel and even with a CRT monitor, the latter maybe with a couple of sticky pads.

Microsoft's high-end webcam delivers midrange performance and features. Most users will be happier with competing models from Creative and Logitech.
