The QuickCam Fusion is based on the High-speed 2.0 standard to deliver the maximum transfer speed, which is going to be essential with a 1.3-megapixel camera. The Fusion also embeds a low distortion, ultra-wide field of view to compensate more than one individual. What that means is that now you’ll be able to have more than one person in the wide view instead of sitting far away from the webcam (or adjusting the zoom setting) to fine-tune multiple persons in the video.

Interesting enough, Logitech suggests that you can enhance the original 1.3-megapixel images with included software to look like 4-megapixel photos.

Initial Thoughts: As always, Logitech has the ingredients for a perfect, next-generation webcam. Not only do we need reliable and quality hardware in webcams, but we also need software and other such technologies that we can use to optimize the image and video quality. This is where Logitech’s RightSound and RightLight technologies come in. The idea of embedding the microphone in the webcam is generous, and assuming the reception is acceptable, this might turn out to be quite convenient. The peripherals maker tags in additional features that are more fun than useful, but if they work well, we have no problem appreciating them. Even though the manufacturer’s suggested retail price is set at $99.99, we were able to find it as low as $78.95. Wait a month or two, and you will get the same webcam for an even lower price. The great thing about Logitech products is regardless of how they perform (the company has a successful track record), the prices dip to acceptable levels soon after the product hits retail shelves.
