The Bottom Line	The Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 offers unique features such as the ability to post photos directly to a blog, but its video effects and image quality don't stand up to that of competing Webcams from veteran manufacturers.	The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 offers a winning combination of stellar image quality, easy-to-use software, and a sturdy, stable stand. It's our Webcam pick for desktop and laptop users alike.	The Logitech QuickCam Fusion's sleek design and impressive software bundle make it one of the best Webcams we've seen.	Despite its uninspired software, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 proves its worth with outstanding image quality, a funky and useful design, and low price.	The Microsoft LifeCam VX-5500 is a well designed, affordable Webcam with excellent image quality.
