1. The Quick cam has a built in microphone.
2. The software uses the computer microphone as a default. So you will need to change the settings for the microphone to use the quick cam microphone
3. The face recognition software can detect the eyes and mouth regions. This is not advanced visual recognition; the software does not recognize mouth formations of sounds; instead the software detects movement of the mouth, face direction, an eyebrow movement; images in real time can be superimposed on the indivdual or a complete avatar representation substitutes.
4. The time lapse and motion sensing capabilities were excellent. The image quality was good.
5. The web cam does not have a wireless feature.
6. The web cam does not come with single frame to animation software.

I had to return my Microsoft LifeCam yesterday. I spent 75 on it at a local store but picked this one up for just under 70. Technically, I actually think this is a upgrade and the Microsoft's static and noise made it utterly unusable for me. There was nothing to be done with it so this is a big improvement because nobody wants to listen to a podcast in which their ear drums are assaulted with noise. The Deluxe is superior to my old messenger model as the video has more resolution and the microphone is better. The sound is satisfactory and negated the need for a headset. Another thing, when you go above this level of resolution you face difficulties finding places to post your videos as they have MB maximum requirements. For these reasons, I think this will be the last webcam I buy for awhile. It's a good bang for the buck.

There are two software routines related to the video effects that will render your system, even souped up ones, unusable. The problem is well documented, yet Logitech has done nothing to correct this problem. Luckily those routines are non-essential to the operation of the web cam, so you can manually disabled them in Windows Administration. Once you have done that, you will lose the video effects but the web cam will work like a champ without taking over your system.
