Logitech’s QuickCam Express Brings Internet Video Under $50
Logitech's QuickCam Express is the first internet video camera to break the $50 barrier, with one-click video email and photos. It ships in late July.
Logitech has announced the QuickCam Express, an internet video camera that comes in under $50, a first for the category. The company revealed it at its annual shareholders’ meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, and says the camera ships in late July.
The whole point is simplicity. Plug the camera in, load the software, hit one button, and you have a clip or a photo. Sending a video email takes a single click, with the attachment handled automatically, and the person on the other end needs no camera or special software of their own; one more click opens it on most PCs and Macintosh machines. The bundled software also covers still photos and live face-to-face video chat with friends and family. Fifty bucks to put your face on the internet. What a time.
