 Nice quality for a reasonable price January 7, 2009
Ernesto Diaz Kozlov (Miami, FL USA)
Small, portable device with very good picture, maybe it is not the top product from the list, but works for me for the price I paid.
 Workin like a charm but uses a bit more line speed. January 6, 2009
D. Nelson (Ely, NV USA)
Having used several other webcams, I'd rate this one very positively. The flexibility in lighting is great and the built in mic is pretty good. Connection would be easier with at least two more feet of cord; it's difficult to string it (or any other webcam I've seen) optimally on a full-sized computer desk.
The next step up would be wireless connectivity and signal compaction - but manufacturers don't seem to have figured that out yet.
solid webcam October 16, 2008
Robert Gregory (Asheville, NC)
Good, solid webcam. Works great with Skype. The only moderately annoying issue is when you press the button on the camera (in Windoze), a pop up appears saying "...call button only works with Windows Live Messenger, do you want to install it now"? There may be a way to turn that off without installing Live Messenger but I haven't looked for it because it doesn't bother me.
High Quality Camera with Great Software September 27, 2008

We have this camera in our living room connected to a 64bit Vista machine running Media Center. We use the camera for videoconferencing with relatives on different sides of the planet *and* for entertaining the kids.
The picture quality is excellent. The camera has great resolution and is able to capture at decent frame rates. The defaults work well out of the box in our home environment (no need to fiddle with the controls, but they do exist). The software also has the nifty ability to zoom and pan, which it can do because the image is large.
The LifeCam 2.0 software available from www.microsoft.com/hardware is simply amazing. It can be used to entertain kids locally or applied to videoconferencing transmissions. The software detects heads in the image and adds in 3D objects, e.g. hats, facemasks, animal faces, and it can add real-time distortions like grow-mouth; and then there are filter effects that change color and texture; and all the cool stuff from v1 of the software. It has our our pre-schoolers and their friends rolling around with laughter.
There are some rumblings in other reviews here about not being able to capture large pictures in high frame rates but it can do 640x480@30fps which is better than TV.
We had some issues with image tearing, but that turned out to be due to the USB controller on the motherboard and could happen to any USB webcam. We bought a PCI card with some extra USB ports on and it fixed the problem.
For comparison, I should mention we own two Macs and have iSight cameras, one external and one integrated into a MacBook Pro. The image quality between the iSights and this camera is indistinguishable and until now I'd have said the iSight's were the best cameras around. The LifeCam software raises the bar on Apple's Photo Booth App, which applies basic filtering to the image, but doesn't do anything as smart as the 3D additions.
Best Webcam Available 2008 08 August 29, 2008

This webcam has all the capabilities you'd look for, and a very competitive price to boot. Take 7.2 MP photos and record video at 2 MP quality. I'm happy with the purchase.
