With high-definition video popping up everywhere, it’s a wonder it has taken this long for the first 720p HD webcam to hit the market. It’s Microsoft’s LifeCam Cinema webcam, and not only is it a honey of a webcam, but at $79.95, it’s nicely priced to boot. Installation of the camera requires three steps: downloading and installing the latest software, installing Windows Live Essentials, and finally, configuring the webcam. Minimum requirements for the webcam are an Intel dual-core processor running at 1.6 MHz or better, 1 GB of RAM and 1.5 GB of hard disk space.
