Rating: Summary: Works fine for me. Review: Having WIN98 SE the camera works great for me, pictures are sharp. On another puter with WIN2000 it didn't work. Only wish the manual came with better instructions like camera features..its suppose to have a build in mike, and what does the top button do? Anything? As for software I prefer my friends Logitech software better. However for $49.95 CND its way cheaper than in the USA, go figure. A headset with mike is the way to go.
Rating: Summary: Kensington SVGA hot deal. Review: I bought the Kensington SVGA for 29.99 that seem to be a hot deal. The sell guy told me not to use any of the software deliver with the unit. Only use what is on the manufacturer site. That was a good advise (trust me). After goning to the complexe installation with the most up to date software, I discover that the built in microphone is not workink in netMeeting. My rating is nice hardware and totaly useless software. The product is not made any more, the last software update is 2 yesr old... At 30$us it is an acceptable deal for a camera only configuration. At 60 or more it is a terrible deal.
Rating: Summary: This is a cam?! Review: I bought this because it advertised as good quality and was cheap. After using it, I can honestly say the color is terrible and it tends to freeze often. The only reason it gets a two is because I can somewhat reconize myself in the pictures.
Rating: Summary: Rip Off Review: I bought this Cam (VGA one Not SVGA) 2 years ago, and it never worked properly. I paid 60$ Canadian for it. When I first ran the installer it crashed my Win 98 PC and I mean full BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) and NM (no response to the mouse) crash, then after literally 8 attempts to install it finally completed the install. So I run the program and the I get an error (After Restart After the Install) it crashes, Reboot, Run again, Works for ten minutes like a dream, Then BSOD NM Crash, Reboot, Run but with vertical lines on the screen, BSOD NM Crash, Reboot, Drivers Corrupted, Reinstall, Works but doesn't save colour settings, then I give up. And it doesn't work at all on any thing higher than Win98 First Edition (Meaning it doesn't work on XP, ME, 2000, Win98 SE, ETC...) By the way if you find third party drivers for xp for this cam please email me @ nabeel_co@hotmail.com cus its just a paper weight now.
Rating: Summary: Needs better software support. Review: I bought this camera because I saw it had drivers for Linux and, as a last resort Windows. After I got it I saw the sticker on the box that said "SVGA version only compatible with Win98". That didn't make me happy as I run 2000. The linux drivers are a pain but I've made it work a few times...just long enought for it to crash my linux box...so beware. However, it feels like nice construction and the image quality seems decent. If you can get it to work for you, it'd be a nice camera. Unfortunately for me, it's just not that reliable. I'll be getting a real video camera and a capture card instead (rock solid).

Rating: Summary: Poor Support from a Poor Company Review: I bought this camera only a year ago and now I can't use it with any current operating system. I can't believe that I wasted my money with this company. I will NEVER buy Kensington again... they don't update drivers at all. They have lost my business.

Rating: Summary: This is a cam?! Review: I spent fifty friggin dollars on a "like new" Kensington camera only to find out it won't work with my brand new PC. PO'd? You could say that. I call tech support (hah) only to be told they have no plans to update the software. Guess what? I have no plans to ever buy another Kensington product again. You shoulnd't either.
