 Best LAPTOP camera December 5, 2006

This webcam SEEMS to be the best LAPTOP webcam in the market right now in terms of it megapixels. I believe that it would fit almost all of the laptops because the clip that fits to the laptop adjusts very easily.
I think the only comparable webcams are the ones of Logitech. Although Logitech webcams are not better in terms of megapixels, some webcams of Logitech are far much more expensive than this webcam and Logitech seems to be the leader in this market. Therefore if you want to be 100% sure of the best webcam in the market and if you have the opportunity, for instance if your friend/relative has a hightec webcam of Logitech, go and see it, then make your decision.
With respect to its features, all of them work great. I believe one of the most important issues that a webcam should have is a build-in mic that receives your voice crystal clear. This webcam proves to be so. As far as its image quality, as I indicated above, it is the best webcam in the market BUT bear in mind that during video calls the performance would not exceed a certain limit due to the softwares' (such as MSN, SKYPE) own settings. So do not expect that the receivers will receive your image in 2.0 megapixel quality. On the other hand I believe there is a possibility that the softwares or technology may improve and someday you would be able to use this webcam to the utmost. Nevertheless the receivers tell me that they receive my image really very very well. Also there is a light in the device that blinks when you try to connect to a video call which later stays when such connection is established. The camera seems to track your face. I believe it makes it very well. Nonetheless I do not recommend to move so frequently and avoid sudden movements, which, as far as I see, affects your video call quality.
This product gives better image quality in Windows Live Messenger. This is not only my observation, but also one of the features of the product written on its box.
In terms of it convenience, the lens part of the device pops into and out of the camera, which makes you feel comfortable for the lens. When the product is not in use, by poping the lens into the device, you don't feel concerned as to whether the lens is safe from scratches or subject to dust or etc. In addition, the product comes with a little carrying case. It's a little bit small but it would work when you travel.
Also you can add some video effects. I don't use it so much. The only thing I know is that it doesn't effect your image and the network speed, hence the quality of your video call.
In short, if you have a LAPTOP (otherwise it would be very inconvenient for you to use), especially if you are going to make video calls via Windows Live Messenger, this camera has excellent image quality -regardless of the limits of the Internet, network speed and softwares' own settings-, a build-in mic that receives your voice crystal clear. I highly recommend it.
Excellent camera in all respects January 18, 2007

Very compact, but with great resolution both with respect to audio and video. The installation, using bundled software drivers and MSFT Live Messenger, was a snap (easier than my parallel experience with Logitech QuckCam Communicate STX). The camera works equally well with SightSpeed, the other communications software package that I have used the camera with. Comes in a handy, very compact carrying case. Very high Cool Factor to the package and performance.

PROS:
I've used various web cameras before. But this one is the BEST one i've seen thus far. The pictures are "sharp" and a lot "less grainy" than other web cameras. Works great in low light. It even has more pixels than my $400 digial camera I bought a few years ago.
CONS:
Be careful. The pictures are soo sharp, that it can also show all the wrinkles on your face.
awesome product. March 23, 2007

I really enjoyed this product and the fact that its simple to use!! It clips nicely onto my laptop or I can take it off, it comes with a little protective case, and the lens slides in to keep it unexposed when you're not using. I really like it and all its features as well.

This webcam is so easy to install and use. It connects with Microsoft Messenger and allows us to have real time video and voice communications with our son and daughter-in-law and their brand new twin baby girls while they are stationed with the Air Force in Aviano, Italy. There is no charge for the service after the webcams are installed so it is free phone and video over the computer!
