This is one of the first webcams made by Logitech, the QuickCam Express.

Appearance:
Most of the camera is covered in silver. Other parts of the camera, such as the focus ring, microphone, part of the stand, as well as the snapshot button are in black. Enough about the looks, now lets start the testing….
