Consumer review by: ewbray1 (cnet.com)

Bought to use with Skype & Gmail Video and Chat.

For the price and resolution obtained it is well worth the price.

Very easy to install with Windows 7 and takes adequate photos and videos with "Debut" software and "Windows Live Movie Maker"; as a first line webcam it will serve the purpose

Slightly difficult to manually focus the lens; needs to put some type of grid on the side of the lens so that the finger tips can grip it better

Not so great

My sister bought this web cam for my father so her baby could see him on Skype. As the family techie, I handled the install. It gets an A+ for compatibility. I plugged it in and it worked, both with my MacBook Pro and his PowerBook G4 and for both ......

Compantible with my MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4. Good sound

Very poor image quality. Lousy tech support

It works

It would make me happier if the camera was stiffer. Can't seem to adjust it as well as I'd like but over all it is the one to use on a MAC, especially an older one. I have had it for several years and it still works well.

Not good

Works with Mac as promised but picture quality is terrible. Overall, a waste of money.

Good camera for the money

While some reviewers have said that this camera doesn't work well in low-light, I found that it worked extremely well. I could see the other person even when the only illumination was the computer screen. The video quality isn't stellar, but if you...
