The webcam has a 2.0 megapixel video resolution and 7.6 pixel interpolated digital still resolution and seeks to enhance the whole Windows Experience. The webcam can also be paired with LifeChat LX-3000 and LifeChat ZX-6000 microphone headset to fully enjoy the Windows Live Messenger Client!The Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000 is pretty compact and the lens is fully collapsible and retracts inside the body of the webcam when not in use. One can hook it up to a notebook via the included attachment base. One also comes across a built-in unidirectional microphone for better audio quality
