Microsoft ships uber webcam

41da5eR2zlL._SL500_AA280_Microsoft announced the new LifeCam Cinema, a 16:9, 720p high-definition webcam.

It’s the first home webcam to offer widescreen video with an onboard 720p sensor. It also auto focuses, keeping video sharp from a minimum distance of just four inches.

It’s also one of the only webcams marketed to work well in low light, and it has image stability and de-noising abilities that reduce graininess.

The LifeCam’s onboard noise canceling microphone also make it perfect for Skype.
