First of all I must commend Logitech for putting their product in a box that is easy to open, even though it appears to be one of those frustrating plastic clamshells. It isn't. It is very easy to remove the contents and there aren't many anyway - the camera itself, which has an attached USB cable, the software installation disc, and brief but easy to follow instructions.The software installed smoothly and once you run it, it guides you step-by-step through the setup process. I thought the quality of the camera was good - the default settings it chose seemed to be fine and required no tweaking. Setting up my account was easy, and the process of inviting friends to share with was easy, too. The first "friend" I chose was my wife. I entered her name and e-mail address and the software took care of e-mailing her an invitation to become my "friend."From her side, she had to click to accept and also to install the vidcam software on her computer. She doesn't have a webcam or a microphone on her computer, just speakers. Once she installed the software (which by the way, automatically detects your speakers, microphone and webcam), she was able to see and hear me on her computer. So we got a big kick out of that.People who have a different brand of webcam can still participate and it costs them nothing as long as someone who owns the Logitech Pro 9000 model invites them to be a friend.I was pleased with this product. The picture/video quality is very satisfactory for this type of application, the camera itself seems quite sturdy and is easy to hang on my monitor so that it can focus on me and not be in the way of what is on the screen, and the setup is a breeze. The only negative - when my wife set up the software, etc., she was able to "call" me but from my computer I could not call her because I kept getting a message that she had not yet accepted my friend invitation. I had to reboot the computer in order for that to be updated. Now everything works fine. By the way, I use Vista and my wife uses XP and the software installed without any problems on both.

Es compacto, silencioso y bastante rápido al conectar a la PC

I bought this to talk with friends and family overseas and it is simply the best web cam I have ever owned. The picture is crystal clear and the rightlight technology really makes a difference. No noise or distortion at all. Awesome.

As a videographer and photographer, I have chronicled my outdoor adventures for the past 20 years. I am an urban musher, which means I harness my team of Huskies to a cart and travel on trails and streets. I don’t use a snow sled for mushing in Alaska; instead, I use modified bicycles and mush with my pack from Baltimore to California.They call me the WooFDriver. And while I might be an expert on all things Husky, I am equally an expert on the equipment that I use to record our epic adventures. I’m usually the first one to buy a new kind of camera to test it out so that I can be an early adopter of any kind of technology that pushes the boundaries further, since I myself push boundaries. I will pioneer news ways of using equipment to get the best shot possible and with enough trial and error I’ll make sure I get that shot. There are links to all the shots I talk about in this review: Just search the internet for “WooFDriver Reviews” and you’ll find the page.When Nikon released their KeyMission 360, I was very excited because I’d been using virtual reality cameras for better than two years already, perfecting my skill with them and learning their bugs. Nikon is one of the largest and most respected camera manufacturers, so when it got involved in the GoPro-type camera market I jumped on board to see how they’d taken videography and photography to the next level. Competition and availability of any technology is always a plus for consumers, and the KeyMission seemed like it was going to add to the virtual reality game. I ordered it as soon as it was released, took it out of its box, connected it to my mobile phone, and I was off to the races — literally. The Huskies were raring to run and I experimented with ways to capture spherical, 360-degree images of our trek as we headed outside.The camera had a learning curve, as they all do, but I loved it. As I began to plan my review of the KeyMission, I checked Amazon and was shocked to see so many negative comments and reviews. This camera is NOT worth all of the negative attention it’s receiving; in my opinion, the camera earns nearly 4 stars out of 5. It has plenty of pros, a few cons, and compares favorably to the other two cameras I’ve used the most: the Kodak SP360 models and the Ricoh Theta. I had started my VR journey with the Kodak, then jumped into the Ricoh and was pleasantly surprised with its simplicity and the results it yielded. The Ricoh Theta is an excellent camera, and when I then moved into the Nikon market, I found the KeyMission held its own against the Theta. I actually travel with both of them now, using them interchangeably as I record my adventures with my dog team.The KeyMission has the advantage of endless memory. Instead of containing non-removable (and therefore limited) interior storage, it takes memory cards. My storage is limited only by how many memory cards I pack with me on a trek. This is a huge advantage over the Theta which has 8 GB, something I can burn through very quickly. I do not want my shooting capabilities to be hampered, especially when I’m 20 miles deep into the C&O Canal path with four Huskies who don’t want to stop. I can shoot and collect footage without visiting my computer for days.Another huge advantage of the KeyMission is its ability to let the photographer view his own content without downloading it first. This means I can review my footage at a campsite at night without having to wait until I am back home from my journey. I don’t have to download my footage on a computer and convert it to 360-degree format in order to see it; that process is painstaking and time-intensive. For this reason, Nikon has vastly improved the process over Ricoh.Some of the negative reviews of the KeyMission focus on its connectivity, so I’ll share my experience with that. The connection requires a two-step process of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for full functionality. It will have limited functionality with a Bluetooth-only connection. In my extensive use of both Android and Apple mobile phone platforms, I discovered I had fewer inconsistencies connecting the KeyMission to an Android than an iPhone. In a second note about connectivity, I further discovered when the battery level neared depletion, connectivity suffered on any platform. I recommend carrying spare batteries to avoid this problem.Because Wi-Fi connectivity can be problematic, I always like to have a backup. For when the connection to a mobile phone fails, Nikon offers a remote control which I really like. I am all about the failsafe solutions – driving my dogs outside and sometimes mushing miles from anything, I always look for failsafes and backups. And usually a remote control that is dedicated to a particular brand, in this case Nikon, is a pretty failsafe solution. With that being said, people have commented about not being able to see what they’re videoing or taking a picture of – the remote doesn’t frame the shot for you like your phone does – but my solution is to try to frame the content you’re trying to film with a quick connect to your phone, adjust the position of the camera, then proceed on using the remote. Plus, as you get a feel for 360-degree photography and videography, you eventually won’t need the visual aid as you will be able to anticipate the shot you’ll get.As far as picture quality, it’s excellent. The KeyMission offers a higher resolution than the Theta, but I wouldn’t say the pictures are necessarily any sharper. That’s not a complaint – the pictures and videos are beautiful with both devices. Some of the negative reviews have been about Nikon’s stitching; photographers report that they can see the seams when the KeyMission creates the sphere, but for me that’s not a valid complaint. Folks, that’s called “missing the forest for the trees,” as they say. Sure, a seam may not be 100% perfect but it’s dang near close enough, and LOOK AT WHAT YOU’RE GETTING. You’re getting a limitless virtual reality experience in a 360-degree sphere of awesomeness, and all of your friends, family, and fans can experience the video you’ve captured as though they were sitting on the dog cart next to you while you were flying through an old railroad trail! Wait… that’s just me! What’s YOUR passion? Remember, this is new technology, and it’s improving constantly. When this technology was nascent, I was stitching the images myself on the Kodak, so I have zero complaints about Nikon doing it for me.Another huge improvement Nikon made over Ricoh is the KeyMission’s weatherproof and waterproof capabilities. The Theta can’t compete. The Theta takes a waterproof case, which works, but the case distorts the scene and the stitching, bringing the imagery down to a just- acceptable view. I filmed fish entirely underwater using the Theta in its waterproof case so you can check out that video and its quality on my website (remember, just search for “WooFDriver Reviews”) whereas the KeyMission is waterproof without a case so there will be no distortion.So if the KeyMission is so amazing, then what’s the downside?Well, here’s one. The Theta’s stitching is better, if that’s the hill you must die on. I encourage you not to focus on the stitching with any camera because you’re missing the incredible immersive experience of virtual reality, which is 99% of the experience (the stitching being about 1%, in my opinion) but if stitching is your thing, then stitching is your thing. The Theta’s is better.Also, the shape of the KeyMission doesn’t lend itself well to handheld shots without using a monopod or selfie stick, which I would consider a negative over the Theta. The Theta has a built-in handle, more or less – it’s designed with a long narrow shape that fits in your hand and is definitely superior for handheld use.Finally, the biggest problem with the KeyMission is the same as with all virtual reality photos: There’s no real place to catalog photos, and any video cataloging is limited to YouTube. YouTube allows a video gallery but for photos, there’s no easy photo album or gallery that can be created. Why do we use 360-degree cameras? Why do we capture the entire height and breadth of our adventure? To share, of course. And with no easy sharing platform, we’re often without a good way to upload our spherical stories. Facebook will usually exhibit the VR style, but depending on your device’s capabilities, you may not always see the full experience if the computer you’re on (or tablet, or mobile phone, etc.) doesn’t support it. Personally, I’ve found the best way to display these images on a website in any kind gallery fashion is to use a plugin on the WordPress platform which seems to work well (you can see examples on my website). You might ask yourself what this has to do with a review, but I think sharing the videography and photography that chronicles our lives, jobs, and passions is a window that’s now open to us. We can keep in touch with friends and with distant family; we can build a fan base; we can create documentaries of our travels; we can transmit our experiences for business purposes. The applications are endless. But websites on the Internet need to catch up. Sharing an entire scene of what we’re seeing on social media outlets like Facebook works for a moment, but users will find it hard to scroll backwards through memories, going through old posts to try to find a really cool photo or video. Hopefully Facebook someday will offer an album feature – an organization where VR photos can be catalogued. As of now, Flickr offers some VR display capabilities, but not as adequately as I would like.The most desirable way to display these photographs and videos are in a format that automatically spins and auto-displays the entire view, but also allows you to interact with it to look higher, lower, or back the other way. This technology is unbelievable, but you have to ask yourself what you want to do with it. With any of the cameras I’ve used, I am truly wowed by their capabilities at being able to capture an entire scene, but my options for sharing it with the world are different. For example, after the journey and back at home, the Nikon is actually the easiest to use when sitting at a desktop or laptop computer. I can insert all of the storage cards straight into my computer to review and edit anything I need to, then post all my footage online. This process is best for a guy like me, who is a heavy photographer and videographer adventuring out all the time who is really into the Nikon for the endless storage. My uploads at the end of an adventure can be massive. However, for posting on the fly, during an adventure, the Theta is best. It connects to a tablet or smart phone for quick posts and sharing from the field. I love, and use, my Ricoh, but as for the Nikon, I wouldn’t take a trip without it.Thanks for reading! Good luck with your decision, and have a wonderful journey! If you’re still comparing the Nikon to the Ricoh to the Kodak, please check my WooFDriver website to see all the different images and videos taken in the past two years on all three cameras, ever since I entered the world of virtual reality. If you want to know more about me, just use Google and Facebook! I am the only WooFDriver!

This Logitech webcam is superb in every way. Installation and webcam startup was seemless and fully operational in less than 5 minutes. The automatic mode works remarkably well. There are any number of controls for zooming, auto/manual focusing, face tracking, and a number of other options which appear to be un-necessary for the average user such as me. The camera works well in average room lighting; the microphone is more than adequate. The Logitech software permits independent muting of either the voice or the picture.Our several families each purchased on to allow us to make Skype video calls to each other. As long as you have a DSL-or-better internet connection, and a dual processor computer (or a Pentium 4 HT), Skype and the camera perform flawlessly together. This webcam is an excellent value which met all my expectations. If I was a bit more photogenic I would have included a video review.

I'm not a gamer, so I'm not interested in a pair of headphones like Luke Skywalker. Master Yoda on the other hand would chose a pair of these Sennheiser headphones because he is a smart cookie and simplicity has elegance just like his robes. Money well spent.

Ottimo qualità del suono e dei materiali. Elevato rapporto qualità prezzo.

Having had both headphones, I went with the Bose because:- Bose customer service is great (I live near a store). I owned my last Bose noise canceling headphones for 8 years and they replaced it once or twice, out of warranty, for free. I hope to own these for another 8 years before replacing them- These are my travel and work headphones. I needed headphones that could connect simultaneously to 2 bluetooth devices, my laptop and phone (Sony can't)- The sound is neutral and balanced. These are not my primary listening-for-enjoyment headphones but they are perfect headphones to help me be productive.- Not a deciding factor but the app actually works and is pleasant to use. The Sony app is barely functional.The Sony WH1000XM3 would win for you if:- You want the absolute best noise cancellation. The Sony's noise cancellation is way better than bose. Sometimes when working with the highest noise cancellation I would look around wondering if all my coworkers had left early, it was so quiet. Bose noise cancellation is decent but no longer the best.- You don't care about music qualityBoth headphones tie on:- Touch controls - about the same (Sony wins a smidge with the mute gesture)- Design. Bose look sleeker but frequently pinches my hair.- Mic and sound quality of callsThe Sony sound was painful. The best way I could describe it is a headphone that tries too hard to be audiophile. It emphasized odd lines in the music and frequently distracted me from my work. I played around with the different equalizer settings in their awful app and finally settled on one that was less distracting, but still bad. I honestly preferred to listen to 2010 era apple earbuds because the whole sound is generically poor and not trying too hard.
