Rating:  - Best value for the money
I bought this cam based on my needs and the reviews of others here and am glad I did. If you're looking for the best combination of value and features, this cam is for you. If you're looking for a cam to chat with others online with, then this cam has all the features you need. You can pay twice as much (or more) for other cams with more features, and if money is no object to you then I'd spend more. But if you want solid, reliable features, then you're not going to beat the [$$$] or so you spend on this webcam. I chose this over a Logitech model for 2 reasons. First, other reviewers complained about all but the more expensive models. Second, this was so much cheaper and offers the same features. Works with Yahoo, AOL, and MSN, and has great pics and supersize ability. Not as smooth as the more expensive models, but if you want the basics, this is for you. Installation was easy--if you can read directions, you shouldn't have problems. I'm not going to accuse other reviewers of not being able to read, but I have Windows XP and had no problems installing at all. However, once the setup is complete, there are no other instructions...a more detailed troubleshooter would be nice. However, this is available online. The 2 biggest features are making your own movies or using it as a live webcam. However, you can't do both simultaneously. So if you're using the camera to look at something, you won't be able to log onto yahoo webcam or any of the others...you'll have to shut it off first. Keep that in mind...took me 20 minutes to figure it out. Enjoy this product!
Rating: - Versatile Capable Webcam
After much homework, I decided to buy this webcam because I wanted to avoid the cheapest ones and because it can be mounted on a laptop. In fact the mounting is versatile enough that one can place this camara anywhere. It is probably wise to read the instructions prior to installation because otherwise I would have follow different steps for installation. The installation was easy and problem free on my W2k Dell laptop. The image is very sharp and colors are neutral. It performs well in low indoor light (set to backlit) although not in darkness. When making a movie, it can be save compressed. For the most part I used it with Yahoo Messanger for chatting and it performs very well. Overall, I like this product for its versatility, performance and amount of fun one can get out of it.
Rating: - great cam
Great cam, handles bright sunlight well, slips onto a laptop screen fairly well. Very versatile, can take stills simply by touching a button ON the cam, and can also film short video clips that you can save to your pc.
