Summary: Way to go Logitech Tech.!
Review: This is by far and wide one of the best digital cameras I have ever come across. A step up from the 310, this one has a FLASH option that lets you capture images in dim light. It has better resolution than the 310 (but you knew that!) and thus is able to take clearer pictures similar to cameras that are worth hundreds of dollars at this amazingly low price (I bet you knew that too!) It's pure genius. Other than that the camera retains it's cute little shape for big or small hands, its TRIPLE function as a webcam and video camera. The Clicksmart 510 comes with a nice stand that is stable and has a no-slip bottom so it stays where it's put even with the heavy cable at the back of the camera.What I DON'T like about it is that everytime I try to move it, my finger presses that irritating little green button that triggers the Quicksync program that tells you if there are pictures to be automatically transferred from camera to computer. My gripe is that it already DOES this automatically as soon as you plug the camera into the computer port, so the button is really, virtually useless. I like the glowing green and I do like buttons though. Also, we're missing the LCD screen on the back that replays your taken pictures, but that would only add on the costs to the already affordable little thing now wouldn't it? Thus, to me a worthwhile sacrifice. Another thing about it is the microphone located on the front, as well as the speaker. The speaker itself is LOUD and obnoxiously screams *DING* which in human speak is either: I AM SHUTTING OFF BY MYSELF NOW! or YOU JUST TURNED MY FUNCTIONS AS A DIGITAL CAMERA ON! ... both really good tunes, just a tad annoying when you're holding the camera really close to your head and the thing decides to turn off by itself. The time limit that you have to take pictures before it shuts off is also a pain because there simply isn't enough time! Granted, this saves you a ton of battery power, but since the flash function saps up half the batteries by itself after a few takes, the Auto-Shutoff doesn't help much at all. So if you can live with these few minor frustrations like I learned to, this is a camera you should consider for the price and all its functions.

Summary: Easy to Use, Good Value
Review: This is the first camera I bought to use as a webcam. I bought it specifically to communicate with my family while deployed. But since it also can be used as a regular digital camera, although not the same quality, I got more than just a webcam. The pictures I took seem to be just great quality anyhow. Without getting into technical stuff which I don't have time to understand, I'd say one the greatest strengths of this camera is it's ease of use. You could say it really is plug and play. I put in the batteries, inserted the disk and connected the cord. Then it loads up pretty easy. I got an account thru Yahoo Messenger and in no time I was able to see and talk to my wife and son. In fact the hardest part was talking to my wife about how to connect her camera. The camera seems well designed. It feels solid, durable, not delicate. It uses regular AAA batteries, even comes with optional sound. That's useful if you ever wonder -- did the picture take? The stand that makes it a webcam is maneuverable and practical -- you can set it just how you want. I think it is a good value, but you may find a better price elsewhere.

Summary: Clicksmart 510
Review: Very easy to use, software very simple to install, best camera for beginners. Have used one for one year and recently purchased for mom (no computer experience and completely afraid of it) and she was extremely pleased to see how user friendly it is and is very comfortable using it.
