The Fusion can take still pictures of up to 4 megapixels, though it interpolates anything larger than 1.3 megapixels. Video was generally clear and smooth, but we noticed blurring during fast movements, such as waving a hand.

The Fusion performed well in our tests, though we noticed digital noise in both still and video images. In the less-useful-but-cute department is the Avatars feature, which tracks the movements of your nose, eyebrows, and mouth and applies them to a cartoon character such as an alien or a shark. You can also change exposure, gain, and the ambient-light setting. The included QuickCam software lets you adjust a myriad of settings, including brightness, saturation, contrast, white balance, hue, sharpness, gamma, and backlight. The small, fairly sensitive microphone built into the front of the camera can record a conversation from six feet away. With the QuickCapture application open, you just push the unlabeled button on top of the camera to make the Fusion take a snapshot. The Fusion's camera tilts back 90 degrees but doesn't tilt forward and can't swivel from side to side. We prefer the stands that come with the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000, which offers a more stable tail-style stand and a desktop stand. It doesn't hold its shape particularly well, and adjusting it can be a balancing act. The tail is adjustable but not very stable. The Fusion's flexible tail can fit atop a CRT, an LCD, or a laptop display. Both applications are easy to use and fairly self-explanatory, though two brief setup guides are included. You can select the software you'd like to install or install it all at once.

In addition to MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), and Yahoo Messenger, the included installation CD includes drivers and plenty of software: Logitech's QuickCapture app for taking still photos and videos, an application for sending e-mail with video, and Logitech's Desktop Messenger software, which automatically checks for software updates. Installing the Logitech QuickCam Fusion is easy.
