It uses ClearFrame Technology for smooth, detailed video and has an improved de-noiser. The improved de-noiser reduces image graininess - especially in low light. It also has a faster image-processing technology that keeps video smooth at any resolution."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1250827417.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Whether its video conferencing at work or chatting with a few friends, Microsoft has a new present for you; introducing the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema! Yeah, now you can let the whole world see you in 720p at 30 frames a second. While I can appreciate that webcams are getting better all the time, and HD is one of those hot buzz words, I have to question the value of a webcam that is capable of streaming HD at a decent framerate. I would think an HD camcorder like the Flip MinoHD would be a better option since you do not need to cart around a computer with it. Anyone want to share what the pores on their face look like with everyone?</p>
