    Seems Microsoft just released a new LifeCam, the NX-6000, an amazingly powerful webcam, with 2.0 Megapixel video and 7.6 Megapixel still camera.

    It looks stylish (not a big sphere like all the other Lifecams), and seems to be great!

    AND...its for 99.95 US, released in November. I think Microsoft is either killing Logitech, or planned this with them.

    Hmm,thats pretty nice. But I would rather have it built in the laptop, then on the top. It feels sturdier and more reliable that way. Still a great find.

    Too bad it only comes in silver! I think this is great for a desktop LCD screen where the bezel is nice and thin.
