Summary: Well-balanced product
Review: Quick Cam Pro is easy to use and delivers pretty good quality for video conferencing, video recording, video mail, and photos. I have been using it mainly to video conference with my dad in L.A. and show him my new born daughter using Netmeeting 3. I had purchased Kodak DVC323 also, but returned it for Quick Cam Pro. While Kodak does have superior image quality for stills and motion video, Quickcam pro has avi-to-rm conversion and compression so that you can e-mail videos easily; you usually need to compress files down to 1 meg to email. Kodak did not have compression or conversion to real media format. Also, Quickcam supports larger screens (640x480) for video, whereas Kodak's largest screen for video is 320x240. You may not notice the better picture quality that Kodak offers when the camera is used for video conferencing since the Internet traffic tends to degrades the video quality to the point that you would not notice noticable difference in video quality. I would say Kodak is good if you plan to use the camera for mainly capturing stills and videos and not sharing them with anyone. Quickcam is better for video conferencing and video e-mailing, and pretty good at recording stills and videos.

Review: You can either use an A-B switch on a single parallel port, or do as I do and install a second parallel port. A "Hi-IRQ" card is best, so you can use an IRQ of say 10 or 11; most cards only offer IRQs of 7 (already used by the printer port) and 5 (usually used by a sound card).
