It doesn't show in color. Under properties, the EnableColor is not active. I don't know what to do. I just bought a MS LifeCam Show. It doesn’t show in color.

The HD-5000 and the HD-5001 are the exact same except for a slight difference in their design. Hi Michael, that’s correct.

I notice that they share the same features/specifications Looking forward to enable True Color on my LifeCam Cinema review unit

What you're seeing on the video (specifically when they are comparing the video with and without TrueColor)is a real representation of the quality of the HD LifeCams.

I've bought my last webcam sight-unseen: until I see real photos, you (and other h/w vendors) are expecting customers to buy these things based on slick Flash demos rather than actual results. Not me! All webcam announcements lack a critical component: real-live, actual sample photos.

This said, it will depend on the lighting conditions. If the lighting conditions are bright, the webcam will reach 30fps but if lighting conditions are dim, the webcam will drop the fps to help provide a brighter image. We ensure that the fps are never dropped to a level that makes the video look choppy. You will see in the last part of the video that even when recorded in dim light the actress’ face is bright while the video looks smooth. Hi CC, any of the new HD webcams are capable of doing 30fps.

Is the assumption correct?
