I have used several webcams in the past and got this one coz i read the reviews and all were 5 stars. But the camera is pretty ok. Its not bad but its not excellent either..any normal low range cam is as good as this one...no use spending so much on this one...
 

This is a great little camera (really, it's a great "compact" size) and I love having it just sitting up at the very top of my flat screen monitor: out of the way, but always there when I need it! The integrated microphone is far reaching - the other day I was talking from the kitchen to my online friend overseas, the computer was quite a few feet away in the room next to the kitchen (no walls in between, of course!) and my friend could hear me without any problems. I had absolutely no problems with installation! The SECRET to an easy installation is, make sure camera is not connected to the computer yet, turn off all other software, put in the Install CD to install software, and connect the camera only when prompted by the installation software. This works seamlessly with the Microsoft Messenger/Windows Live messenger. Haven't tried with other online chat software. The extra fun animations you can use while chatting will also be a hit with friends and family! I really give Microsoft an A+ on this camera!
 

This camera is nice. Clear picture, easy to use and set up. The built in mike really works good. Don't think you can go wrong for the price. Has nice features, like if you want to mount the camera upside down, you can flip the picture to make this posiable. Several other nice features. Also works nice with laptops.
