Summary: Better picture quality than a QuickCam
Review: Examine the picture produced by one of Logitech's QuickCam web cameras, then examine the picture produced by the Philips Vesta Pro Scan. I've seen both, and there's no contest: the Philips produces a much sharper picture. I've had no technical problems at all with mine. I plugged it into my XP-powered laptop and was immediately teleconferencing, with both video and audio, on Yahoo Messenger. The tripod, though small, is a nice addition. I've had a little trouble with the software: I can't get the OCR scanning feature to work. But I think a real scanner is better for this job anyway. The VidCap utility (for recording video) works acceptably. I liked this camera enough to buy a second one for my girlfriend so we can webcam together.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: This is a great camera for your computer. It is very easy to set up and just takes minutes before you can teleconference with a friend. The software is the easiest by far to use. Buy two! One for you and one for a friend.
