Summary: Too much software required for use
Review: Great camera, but it installs entirely too much software before you can use it. Most of my other PC cameras just plug-and-play, but this thing requires so many extra software packages and wants to install so much more that it can end up over-writing your existing instant messengers and other products.
I though the whole point of USB was for plug-and-play. All this device really consists of is a camera with a built-in microphone. Logitech needs to borrow a page from the generic makers of the Twinklecam and basically don't try to write their own software.
Today you can get these in a two-pack for less than sixty dollars. That's highly recommended, but investigate other cameras that have built-in microphones like the Twinklecam (made by a few Taiwanese makers and sold under many different brands).

Summary: JUST WONDERING ?
Review: How is it that reviews done back in November still head the top of the list, and more recent reviews are further back..could it be because of such the favorable rating(5 stars)...I think the average consumer can figure out what is going on here..obvouisly both reviews were written by the same person or "company"
...lets just be fair here and post them as they come...anyone reading those reviews should discard them..they seem a little deceitful to me...but that is just my opinion.

Summary: disappointed
Review: I actually thought this was a defective product because I just couldn't adjust the grainy, unbalanced colors or jumpy movements caused by low frame rates. Well, from what I read here, it looks like it is just a product of very low quality, unacceptable at any price range. I will think twice before I buy another Logitech. :-(

Summary: Not happy with this
Review: I agree with whoever said too much software installed. I prefer plug and play, no hassle. I also think the image is awful and I have a pretty good computer system. It had static on image and just did not look clear at all. My 8 year old quickcam had a nice picture so I expected this to be nice also.....no luck!
Also, the box says Mac compatible, which I thought was cool since I have 2 systems (WinXP/Mac) and then I get home, go to support website & see it's not for Mac. Huh???
In any case, this was returned and I'm getting something different.

Summary: Insultingly inferior software.
Review: I bought Logitech QuickCam Messenger. The software was Image Studio 7.3.0. (platform: Win XP Pro, P4 2,4MHz). Maybe it is a good camera, but have not seen good perfomance yet. The weakest point is software, it is disaster to use, very rigid, designed for a 10 year old a bit debilitated child, has silly user interface.
It lacks specific support for QuickCam Messenger. Although software help explains how to use Motion Detection, there is no such tab.
Last but not least. It is not possible to contact Logitech by e-mail.

Summary: Not Worth The Price
Review: I bought this cam because if its brandname.. The install is quick, but the quality is poor. I bought a Veo stingray and the quality was alot better. I'd suggest this cam to anyone who's a beginner but if youre looking for good quality pictures go with the Intel Pc Cam Deluxe or the Intel Pc Camera Pro. Or maybe the Logitech Clicksmart510!

Summary: decent video and software, audio sucks
Review: I bought this camera 2 weeks ago. Unlike many other posters here, I had little trouble with the software. I had it installed in 10 minutes. The video is good. Picture gets grainier under artificial light or low lit conditions, but it it is still decent. The one BIG drawback I found with this webcam is how sensitive the microphone is. When talking to someone over AOL IM, we both have to wear headphones. This gets rid of the feedback which creates a horrible background noise. Another solution I have tried is to put a piece of scotch tape over the mike! This eliminates the background noise, at the expense of somewhat dampening the overall audio. Anyway, I would give this camera 4 stars if it weren't for the awful microphone/audio.

Summary: Not Worth It!
Review: I bought this camera today and by looking at the box, it looked like the picture quality was excellent, but when I got it home and then started to use it, well that's a whole different story. The picture is really bad, and my old cam's picture is 1000 times better then this one (Ezonics EZ Cam III). I'm going to return this one tomorrow and go back to Radio Shack and get another Ezonics camera. I lost the bottom part to my first camera and figured this would be a good replacement. The instalation might be quick, easy and cost efficent, but the the camera isn't worth the $30 I paid for it. I wouldn't even recomend this to someone I hate. I couldn't fix the picture however hard I tried and whatever I did, everything was always grainy...never again.

Summary: very hard to focus and bad quality
Review: I bought this one few days ago. The quality of picture from this web cam is very bad. Especially it is very hard to get focused. (...)
I spent 10+ minutes to focus, and this is the best result I can get. Compared to my old one (a no-brand from Taiwan), this product is really bad.

Summary: Best value for price!!!!
Review: I bought two of these lil' cameras and I love them! While the mic is a little sensitive to background noise, it is tolerable. I've used my cam to email videos, for chatting, and all kinds of stuff. I've never had a problem with mine. If you're looking to get a webcam, I highly recommend this one. If you're worried about the third party program that come with the disc, go to Logitech's site. You can download whatever software you need straight from them w/o that stuff.
