Rating: Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Review: Concur with the other comments. I received this as a gift from my mother. I don't have the heart to tell her what a piece of .... it is. She got one for herself too and never could get it to run. Poor quality across the board; stills, video, software. Again, don't waste your money.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing at best Review: First the good news: After a long time of trying different things and messing with it to no end, I finally got it to work and played with it for a while.Not a glowing recommendation, is it? The bad news is, the video quality was horrible and unless I sat in a completely lit room with many lamps and bulbs pointing directly at me it was hard for even my mom to recognize me. A couple of times I chatted with family on it, I being the only end with the video transmitting capabilities, and the output was just irregular and ... well, disappointing. It was fun while it lasted.

Rating: Summary: Do not buy! Review: I bought this camera four months ago. This company is not making this product and will not give you any help. The quality is poor and if you upgrade to windows 2000 or XP forget using it at all. What another poor buy.
Rating: Summary: Old make & compatibility problems Review: I bought this camera to use with my laptop, but it screwed up the laptop's built-in mic with its built-in mic and none of them are working now. Take your own risk and buy this!! I realize why they were selling this camera at a very low price in the market!
Rating: Summary: now i know... and knowing is half the battle Review: I got this a long while ago at an electronics store. I thought I was getting a good deal... digital pictures from my computer, web conferencing, the works. Well, it was fine for little while, until i learned better. This camera's software is just awful. It crashes every few still pictures you take, doesn't adjust to light very well, and there are always glitches when i make movie files. The pictures are always blurry and the camera doesn't adapt to any other type of software that i've tried. It's bad. I'm getting a newer, better megapixel digital camera to take some real pictures. Save your money. This one is terrible.
Rating: Summary: Not Stable at all... Review: I received this cam as a gift last year. The software is supposed to work with Win 98, but it kept freezing up during the installation process. There was no helpful tech support on their website regarding this issue either. My friend who bought it for me took it to see if he could get it to work on his Mac(he has OS 8 or 9) and he could actually install it, but the software always crashes for him. He ended up just buying me a different camera in the end because it never DID end up working correctly.
Rating: Summary: The little camera that never cut the muster Review: I was unable to get this camera to work on my Mac G4. Kensington support indicated it would only work in the USB plug on the back of the computer. The only problem with that is where do you plug your USB bus and Keyboard ( which has to be plugged directly into the computer to function properly ) I would gladly give it ZERO stars but that is not an option. Thank You Wayne G.
Rating: Summary: This Thing is Aweful fo Modern Computers Review: Initially, I bought this, and it worked pretty well in windows ME, but i decided to upgrade to win 2k only to find it doesnt function there because of no drivers, and Kensington isnt planning on making any. So i thought, oh, windows xp will surely run it, however xp is win2k based so it wont work there either. WHY CANT THEY MAKE NEW DRIVERS!?
Rating: Summary: Incompatible with Windows XP Review: Running this on Windows 98, I did have some problems, such as poor video and graphic quality, but when I upgraded to Windows XP and went to Kensington's website to find out about updated drivers, I was told that 'due to an unforseen compatability issue', the camera wouldn't work with Windows 2000 or XP. so before you buy this camera you might want to think about whether's it's worth not buying XP...or if you already have XP, don't waste your money.
