Logitech QuickCam Orbit Gets Carl Zeiss Lens & Autofocus

Majority of Logitech webcams have received a upgrade to Carl Zeiss optics. So, it's only logical the company puts one into its QuickCam Orbit, which is now called AF instead of MP. Here, MP denotes mega-pixel, and AF as in autofocus - another much needed feature for a motorized tracking camera as it always need to change its focus. Like other high-end USB webcams, the Orbit AF boosts 'HD' video streaming at up to 960 by 720 and true 2-megapixel sensor. Logitech has kept the MSRP to $129, but you are likely to find a lower street price during X'mas period. In related news, Logitech QuickCam software has been updated to 11.5, whose most notable addition is the YouTube uploader.
