			<content type="html"><![CDATA[On a PC the QC is probably the best you can buy as its easy to setup and doesn't power off all the time like a camcorder or photo camera.  Focusing is great as you just have the supplied software running alongside your capture software (They provide a neat small sidebar which you have on your desktop). When you want to focus the camera you just use the slider in the sidebar and the image in your software gives you feedback as to how its focusing. The internal chip is the best resolution you can buy this side of £500 as it works at a native resolution of 1600 x1200. It actually captures at this resolution, not interpolates pixels like so many others to con you into thinking its hi res.

The only things I can fault the QC 9000 for is the stupid screen mount, but you can build a little lego setup to hold it quite easily. Another thing is the depth of field is not very good. This is a problem with webcams in general, but for brickfilming this isn't usually a problem as the film sets are generally quite shallow from front to back. The QC is also very sensitive to how you set it up. You wont get 1600 x1200 unless you set it up properly, but once you do so I think its well worth the extra few quid to buy.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Whittleberry]As a camera for making stop-motion-animation, I, and many other brickfilmers find it great. If you don't have the money for a Canon camera which can be used through the computer, it's definitely the way to go.
As for compatibility, unless someone has found a way to make it work with Macs then it only works with the PC. If you're looking for some free software which works really well with it, I would highly recommend [url=http://www.heliumfrog.com/]Helium Frog[/url].

EDIT: If you have a Mac, then buy the [url=http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/4528&cl=us,en]Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac[/url]. It looks like it's exactly the same thing as the QC9000, except for Mac.[/quote]
No Manual Focus :(
I learned it the hard way.]]></content>
