Summary: You get what you pay for.
Review: For the average cam user, this would be a good purchase. Just make sure you have plenty of lighting around you. The image quality is fair at best..It always seems to be a bit grainy and distorted no matter what I do. But look at the price.Basically, if you take a picture of yourself with this cam, it will look like you. However, the color will be off, and you might suddenly have new lines in your face. Blue eyes are always green or brown in the cam pictures. Oh well. The cam hardware itself wasn't thought out very well. I eventually ended up just duct taping the cam to wherever I wanted to take a picture because it kept falling over. The cord is much too heavy for the cam, and it will just slide out of its base and fall over after you've spent time adjusting it to where you want it to be. Logitech could easily have invested just a tiny bit more time into creating a better cam base. The software that comes with the cam is very basic. You can adjust the picture resolution to 3 different sizes, and take a pic. You can also make a short video. The only bug I've run across is the Export video to email feature. The software adds its own little video player to the videos that you send people, and it always crashes their computers. If you want to take some pictures or have a webcam on a site, this would be a decent cam to use. There are better ones out there, but they're more costly.

Summary: One detail
Review: This camera performs excellent under bright daylight. The picture is clear and if you set the contrast right, images look great. The only thing I dislike about the QuickCam is that it's very difficult to set it on a table, on top of the monitor, anywhere without it toppling back or falling sideways. The round camera comes with a rubber base to put it on. The round camera has something like a metal hook or screw on the bottom, and the base has a slit on top. You're supposed to slide the screw back and forth on the slit in order to point it where you want to record, but once you get the angle, the heavy cable pulls the camera back and it goes toppling to the floor. Very frustrating at the least. I found myself moving towards where tha camera was finally pointing.
Otherwise, the software is pretty easy to use, even though it takes very long to load. I have Windows ME. You can record videos of unlimited length. I've had so much fun with this thing!

Summary: Picture sucks......severe quality drop from older model
Review: I bought this camera to replace an older model of quickcam which looks the same and is also USB. I replaced it because for some reason Windows XP doesn't like it and it can't be used with XP since the OS upgrade. This camera installed easy but I had to D/L the XP software off the web as the software it came with is old. I expected at least the same quality as the other since it's been years and I now have the best OS available. NO!!! The picture quality is crap and can't be tweaked. There is this total grainy appearance to the images and the DPI seems much less even though its still 150DPI. Don't waste your money.....I don't see any resolution/quality differences with the more expensive models either.... good luck, Mike

Summary: Logitech not the logical choice
Review: This being my first experience with a web cam, I was not expecting any miracles. What I got was a major disappointment. My review of this camera is largely based on the unecceptable image quality. Familiar with Logitech, I'm surprised at the lack of quality visually speaking. A friend of mine had bought a competitors web cam for about half the price, and after I had a chance to compare similar still shots side by side, I immediatly returned this camera. Sit and fiddle with the minimal image correction options all day long only to end up with an uglier picture then you started off with. Like I said, I'm no web cam expert or anything, but it seems to me the number one criteria for a quality web cam is the image. And that is the area this product severely suffers in. A horrible first experience for sure. Take my advice, do the research, and avoid this camera.

Summary: Inexpensive, easy to use!!
Review: This cam is definitely plug and play. It is very easy to set up and use. I have the latest version and it is compatible with WinME. You might have to play around with the settings a bit to get a clear picture when you are taking still pics. My pics weren't too clear till I changed alot of the default settings that were automatically set. For the price, I didn't want a pricey one because I wasn't sure if I'd use it alot or not...so what I wanted it for and how much I spent, I'm very happy with it!

Summary: Good inexpensive camera
Review: For a low priced camera this is a fun item. The software doesn't install correctly on Windows 2000 -- you need to set permissions on the registry and their tech support can send you a document about that problem. Netmeeting is great fun if you know other people with a camera. However, this camera has a CMOS sensor which is grainy and noisy compared to the more expensive CCD sensor. That means this cam is pretty much worthless for taking still pictures. But for videoconferencing it is a solid inexpensive camera. Logitech has a great developer's kit for free download if you want to write your own software.

Summary: Not as good as I though it would be
Review: This is my first webcam and I was kinda let down after I loaded in the software and got started. First off the cam makes everything very dark. You have to have direct light shining at you to be able to see your self on the screen. The cam also causes a orangish hue to everything. And still no matter how much you try you can't really fix these problems. The cam itself fits pretty well in most surfaces. Clarity is also sometimes a problem. Not quite worth the close-to 50$ but still ok.

Summary: Perfect for novice
Review: The installation of this web cam was very simple and easy . With a minimum of instruction, I was able to get started right away. For the money, this was a very good buy. I highly recommend it for a first-time cam buyer.
