		<description>Eu tenho as 3 A VX-3000, a VX-6000 e a NX-3000

 Desta digo com toda certeza a melhor e a VX-3000, a VX-6000 foi uma grande e cara decepção, a imagem é ruim e o controle de luminosidade o soft é sofrivel a NX 3000 é muito similar a VX3000 sem controle de foco, mas é rapida e com boa imagem.</description>

		<description>I have a VX-6000 and love it, but the Live Call button is VERY annoying, because it&#039;s almost impossible to adjust the camera manually without accidentally pressing it. However, there is a workaround to disable it. It works for the VX-3000, too:

1. Open Windows Explorer in the folder where the camera&#039;s programs were installed. Usually, this will be &lt;i&gt;C:\Program Files\Microsoft LifeCam&lt;/i&gt;.

2. In that folder, locate the &lt;i&gt;IcePick.exe&lt;/i&gt; file and rename it to something else (e.g., &lt;i&gt;IcePick.ex_&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;IcePick.exe.bak&lt;/i&gt;).

The button is already disabled at this point, but a third step is necessary, otherwise the driver will reinstall itself (asking for the CD, etc.) when you access the &quot;Properties&quot; window (to adjust brightness, etc.), and it will restore the original &lt;i&gt;IcePick.exe&lt;/i&gt;, undoing what you did. To prevent that:

3. Create an empty file (size = 0 bytes) and name it &lt;i&gt;IcePick.exe&lt;/i&gt;. To create an empty file, you can, for example, right-click on Windows Explorer&#039;s right pane and create a new text file, then rename it and confirm that you want to change the extension. DON&#039;T OPEN IT, otherwise Windows will try to execute the file and God knows what will happen. The file size MUST BE ZERO.

That&#039;s it, the button is dead.

Also, check the driver version on the CD, especially if you are using Vista. The CD is most likely outdated. Only driver versions 1.3 and later are Vista-compatible. As of this writing, the latest one is 1.4. It&#039;s better to check on Microsoft&#039;s web site if you have the current version.</description>

		<description>I just found it off of Microsoft by typing in Driver for Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000.  I got a universal driver via a support website that hooked me into it off Microsoft.com.  Can&#039;t believe Google and Microsoft are at such odds that you can&#039;t find something as basic as a driver.

It&#039;s 119MB so it&#039;s downloading while I peck this out.  make sure you have bandwidth.

Good luck!</description>

Yes, you could use a free-standing mic with the webcam but you&#039;d be better of trying to get the built-in micrphone to work first. You ought to contact Microsoft customer services first.
If you are interested in buying a stand-alone microphone then you can pick one up for very little at:

		<description>[...] Microsoft webcam LifeCam series currently has two modals and that&#8217;s Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 which is the cheaper budget option with VGA video and HD (1.3 Megapixel) still photos, and higher end version of Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000. LifeCam VX-6000 features 1.3 megapixel video resolution and 5 megapixel photo resolution, built-in unidirectional microphone with acoustic noise cancellation, wide angle lens, 3x digital zoom, high-speed USB connection, integration with and optimized for Windows Live Messenger with Windows Live Call Button, LifeCam Dashboard and One-Touch Blogging, automatic face tracking software, automatically adjusts for low-light conditions and universal attachment base for fitting on most surface.   ABC News reviews Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 and concludes that &#8220;when using the webcam with Win-dows Live Messenger, I found the video quality to be good, and the 30 fps rate meant no jumpy video. I did, however, have some audio problems. When using AIM, I noticed a slight delay in both audio and video. I had the worst experience using Yahoo!. The video was jumpy and grainy. Overall, the VX-6000 is a reasonably priced webcam with a nice set of features, but I wish the mic worked better.&#8221; [...]</description>
