news 28 Posted January 4, 2010 Everything USB is pleased to announce our in-depth review on IPEVO P2V "Macro" USB Webcam review. The Point 2 View (P2V) from IPEVO is a tethered USB camera designed to free users from the shackles of the screen-mounted webcam. Combining a 2.0 megapixel sensor, continuous autofocus, and a close-focussing distance of about 2 inches with a unique, articulating stand, the P2V allows much more freedom in capturing images from a unique perspective. Will you want to sacrifice $69 and a bit of desk real-estate for this little number? Read on and find out. http://www.everythingusb.com/ipevo-p2v-usb-webcam-18262.html Verdict: The P2V camera makes an external webcam desirable again. What it lacks in features it makes up for in good optical quality, a nifty articulating stand, and supreme close-up autofocus capabilities for the occasional live video or presentation. This camera lets you put your best face forward with clients and colleagues who videoconference as part of their daily routine. The Good: + Great articulating stand + Autofocus works well at normal distances + Good quality picture + Perfect for videoconferencing + Support for popular IM applications The Bad: - Slightly cheap build quality (plastics) - No built-in microphone - Autofocus is slow to lock focus for macro shots - Weak feature set - Included application does not support video capture We hope you and your readers will find this review helpful and informative.
