Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and QuickCam Pro for Notebooks

The new Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and the QuickCam Pro for Notebooks webcams feature exclusive Carl Zeiss Tessar lenses that are said to offer better webcam image and video quality. Along with Carl Zeiss optics, the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 for desktops and QuickCam Pro for Notebooks use a premium autofocus system that can refocus images in less than three seconds and keep images sharp in extreme close-ups as well.

Both webcams work with popular video messaging applications, including Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and AIM. They also record video at up to 30 frames per second, and support 720p high-definition (HD) video format, recording to disc at a resolution of 960 by 720 pixels. people can capture and view incredibly sharp video clips. Each webcam model has a true two-megapixel sensor than can capture up to eight-megapixel photos (with software interpolation), as well as RightSound™ and RightLight™2 Technology for an enhanced video calling experience.

RightLight 2 Technology automatically adjusts for low and uneven lighting environments, such as when a window creates harsh backlighting. Logitech’s improved RightSound Technology significantly reduces background noise, with new noise suppression, in addition to virtually eliminating echo and feedback.

The Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks webcams are expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in July and will have a suggested retail price of $99.99 (U.S.).
