What's Hot
Good low-light performance, 3-D face-tracking, appealingly low-key design
What's Not
Only suited to flat surfaces, face plates are a bit bland, incompatible with Macs
The Final Word
The VX-5500 is a basic little webcam that offers decent sound and image quality. It’s not the most versatile webcam on the market, but it gets the job done for a semi-reasonable price. Of course, the same thing can be said of every other Microsoft model. A less than essential purchase.
