There has been a lot of buzz going through the support forums about an issue with focus on the left side of the image. Here are a couple of pages from Logitech and Wikipedia explaining these remarkable lenses. Essentially there is a tiny spring which pulls the lens towards the infinite focus point, then a small electromagnet, similar to the coil found inside loud speakers, pulls the lens against the spring to the required focus point.
The 9000 has an orange circular LED to indicate when it is on rather than blue like the Fusion models.Īs in the new Pro for Notebooks camera, the 9000 camera has a true automatic focus Tessar lens which uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor). I tried testing the microphone and sound system but for some odd reason which must have something to do with my setup, I couldn't get any sound from the camera. The built-in microphone has been redesigned to offer background sound reduction. The image sensor is a true 2 mega pixel device. Instead of being bendable rubber, the 9000 has a stand similarly shaped to the Fusion, but of hard plastic, with a center tongue which can be used to stabilize the camera on a flat panel screen, or flipped up to allow the camera to sit on a desk or shelf. (I wonder where the 60 went?) The 9000 looks very much like the Fusion, except there has been a change in the stand.

This is the first of the "thousands" series cameras by Logitech (3000, 4000, 5000, 9000) to break from the eyeball style. Logitech has done it again! Another fine camera. Please read the page About My Lighting to understand the tests. Be sure to also read Common issues with Logitech cameras.
