The VX-7000 offers 2 megapixels for video and 8 for still images.
Microsoft has two new LifeCams coming, just in time to stuff some stockings.
Designed for notebooks, the LifeCam NX-3000 has 1.3 megapixels and 640 × 480 video. For an extra 40 bucks, the VX-7000 has 2 megapixels and a 71-degree, wide-angle lens for desktops. Both promise high-def stills as well as features for Photo Swap, Windows Live Call Button and Windows Live Messenger.
Unless you’re into the MS extras, neither one looks a whole lot different than your average desktop webcam except for the brushed metal. Maybe the word “Life” shows you’re a lot more caring than the average weird webcam owner.
Both cams are currently on pre-order for $59.95 (NX-3000) and $99.95 (VX-7000).
The article reads “Both promise high-def video”.
THat is a bad promise.
640x480 is not high def.
this error may not be microsoft’s fault. Seems like most modern press has no idea what’s going on with tech (i am forever seeing hidef and motion sensing tech misrepresented. weep).
Now I see that it’s high-def when it comes to still images. Whee. I could email those with my digital camera!
When did 640 × 480 video become “hi def”? Sounds exactly like standard def, to me.

A History of TV Remote Controls
It’s hard to imagine life without remote controls, but it’s been a long, strange path to the modern incarnation we know and love today.
It is their fault and MINE. They said both promise high-def, but after peeking into it more, it’s high-def STILL images. Whee. Thanks for the catch everyone.
