Rating: Summary: Not bad, if you using windows Review: This webcam was my second choice after Philips toucam pro 740. After learning from Philips representative that 740 was discontinued, at least in US, I hit google to look for Kodak dvc325. From numerous reviews it believed to have one of the best image qualities. Comparable to 3 com home connect (also discontinued). This is my first webcam and video chat is the only purpose I will be using it for. Until now I was using my minidv canon elura. So that is the only one I can compare it too. Canon was getting extremely hot when left on for hours. So it was time to get a webcam. The image quality compared great for video chat. I would get around 15fps at 160x120. I am ordering a second one. I thought of giving it 4 stars because there is no auto focus, but then I never needed to adjust it in the last 2 month. Actually, it may be even a good thing, that there is no bad-implemented auto focus, so picture keeps stable. Few things on a whish list: firewire instead of usb, off button (for times you are not in the mood), higher resolution (not sure yet what that would be for). by the way i believe this camera is discontinued and there is no mac drivers for it, that is the only reason i took one star off. Future support is in question.
