Summary: WebCam Pro
Review: Installation on XP was problematic. Instructions are very poor. Eventually got software to "see" the camera (had to manually load a dll!). I unisntalled drivers, then went with the XP set up. It worked. Pictures/video a good for the price. I'm still experimenting with the best compression technique to minmize file size, while maximizing video quality.Pretty good, other than the software installation.

Summary: Not half bad :)
Review: Just got the webcam today. It works nice, the software isn't hard to figure out, and the picture is good quality even in my dim little dorm room. There were a few minor problems that kept me from giving it a full 5 stars. First of all, the documentation is poor. All it has is a short quick-start guide. Second, the disk I got with all the software and drivers on it was pretty scratched up, though it ran alright. And third, the box claims that the camera can clip to the top of a laptop screen, but the clip is a little too small for my laptop. I fixed that with a little bit of poster tack stuff. :) Finally, one quick word of warning: the software is nearly impossible to install without turning on the autorun feature of the CD-ROM drive (believe me, I tried for about 45 minutes and I couldn't figure it out). Beyond those minor details, the webcam works like a charm and I'm really happy with it.

Summary: XP Home vs XP Pro
Review: The problems that andyfano stated were ONLY for Windows XP *PRO.* He said it worked for Windows XP Home. So, could future reviewers please specify if it's Home or Pro? It is NOT the same thing. As for my own, I found the picture clear and could make it work fairly well in low light settings. Could be smoother, but it's all I need for video messaging. Install was fine on an XP Home computer, but I would be interested to know if anyone else has problems on Pro as another member of my family with Pro is looking to get one. All in all, cost vs. benefit is great.

Summary: Works great for me
Review: Unlike a couple of the reviewers below, I had no problems installing the camera's software on Windows XP. This camera works great for me so far, and on top of that, it's relatively inexpensive.

Summary: Works great!
Review: We took the camera out of its box, plugged it in, plugged in the microphone, and Windows XP immediately installed and configured both. Within moments we were watching ourselves on screen and sending clips to our friends on the Internet. No problems, no hassles; seems like a great product.
