Rating: Summary: love it Review: Before buying this, I tried the Creative WebCam for Notebook, which had a great design, but horrendous quality (even the software felt like it was written in a day). I was pleasantly surprised to find out how good this one is, and at just a moderate increase in price. Bright picture, great resolution, fabulous software. Though I have only used it through USB 1.0 so far, it's supposed to take advantage of the higer speed of USB 2.0, enabling you to record 640x480 videos at 32 frames per sec. The motion detector functionality is a terrific bonus!
The only problem I have had so far is that the email feature of the motion detector is not working, but I am sure it will be worked out.
Rating: Summary: Nice Picture, Annoying Features Review: Lovely image, actually. But the face-tracking leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe it's just my shiny head that confuses it, but it usually ends up tracking with my eyes at the very bottom of the frame. Also: if the face tracking lets the camera zoom in that far, why isn't there a plain old zoom feature? I like sitting about 3 feet from the thing...but the field-of-view is so wide then... Also: focusing is a bear. The lens wobbles when turning the focus-ring.
I won't return it, but I won't buy another one, either.
