Logitech introduces compact HD webcams for notebooks, powered by Carl Zeiss optics.
Logitech today unveiled the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and the Logitech QuickCam Pro for notebooks, featuring lenses designed in collaboration with Carl Zeiss. Having recently shipped its 50 millionth webcam, Logitech aims to provide image-perfect details and clarity when making video calls with the new QuickCam Pro webcams.
Both webcams sport a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens that should deliver better sharpness while still maintaining the webcams' light weight and compact size. The webcams also offer an autofocus that according to Logitech refocuses images in less than three seconds. This could especially be helpful when shooting close-ups (up to 10 cm from the camera lens).
Claimed to work seamlessly with video messaging applications such as Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and AIM; both webcams capture videos in the 720p high-definition (HD) format at up to 30 frames per second. Accompanied by a 2 Megapixel sensor, RightSound and RightLight 2 technology, Logitech claims that the webcams can make video calls with sharp images, reduced background noise and automatic light adjustment.
The Logitech QuickCam Pro and Pro 9000 will be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in July, and will retail for $100 US.
