 WebCam July 14, 2008
Despite knowing in advance that this was a cheap webcam, it's much fuzzier than I expected it to be. It can be difficult for the facial expressions of the person using it to be made out. However, it does fit on my notebook computer very easily.
good basic webcam July 2, 2008
The one thing that bothers me about these web cams is that the resolution of the web cam is 640x480 and it is specifically for the windows live messenger but when you are doing video chat in windows live messenger there is know way to increase the resolution beyond 320x240 which is really annoying since you cant make the video full screen with out it being very blurry and the frame rate is not very high either even on a fast connection with fast upload and download speeds on both ends but other then that it works alright and sets up easy
Simple, solid product July 2, 2008
Product works well and has a clear image, even in relatively low light. The built-in microphone works better than several cheap stand-alone mics I have used in the past. The base clips onto laptop screens very well, but doesn't stand up on its own as well (it tends to get pulled by the cable when not clipped on the lapto screen).
Button on top only works with Microsoft's messaging program and is not reprogramable. It does require a hardware driver install and a camera utility that is not very useful, but after installation you can ignore it.
Camera works well with Skyp and have even used it with framegrabbing software to make stop-motion animation.
 Good product June 30, 2008
Great product. It works well with my Windows Live Messenger. I like it's base and how it will sit on my desk-top or hang off of my monitor.
Web-cam June 19, 2008
This was purchased quite a while ago. It is very good. It is wonderful to see and talk to friends and relatives far away. There are times we cannot get thru, but that is the electronic age. Very pleased with this product.
