Great Cam for the price September 30, 2008
I like it and would recommend it to anyone. If it is over $25.00USD you spent too much!

Clear image and easy to use September 20, 2008
We used this webcam for years in our family and have really enjoyed it. We finally got another one for the in-laws in Taiwan after getting tired of their poor quality image on MSN webcalls. The difference is literally night and day.
The only complaints I have is that it is not compatible with the Mac, and it is not plug and play. The driver install takes 3 minutes and you are good to go.
Cool Camera. Too Bad it Doesn't Work. September 15, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am 17 years old and spend a LOT of time online. My system is Windows Vista and I use a Toshiba laptop (bought it two years ago). I don't have a lot of high-tech software; I use Windows Movie Maker to make my videos.
I've been using my digital camera (which is supposed to be used mainly for taking pictures) to make videos, which only records for 60 seconds. That was a pain, so I decided to get a webcam. I researched for hours and found this one. It sounded like a great product with a ton of good reviews.
Unfortunately, when I tried to install it on my computer, it didn't work. I installed the software, exactly as instructed (though the instructions were a bit too concise - they could have explained a little more thoroughly). No matter what I did, I couldn't get the camera to work. All I could do was take pictures with it. I already have a camera for that.
The picture was a bit grainy, but that didn't bother me. I asked a friend who works with code daily if he could help me. Maybe I was doing something wrong. But nothing he suggested worked, either. I tried Microsoft help and troubleshooting and absolutely nothing helped or worked. So I returned the camera.
I commend Amazon, however, for getting the camera to me promptly and easing me through one of the smoothest returns/refunds I've ever been through. The return/refund process was quite simple and fast.
 Possible Vista 64 bit Version Problems September 3, 2008
Bought this one and after installing and testing with friends on Skype, both noted significant problems with my audio (couldn't hear or understand me; sounded very distorted). I played with some settings and decided to record using the included program to see if the problem was due to Skype. When it would work to finally record (after a two second or so delay after clicking the record button) it would distort the image, then there would be lots of lag and the audio was not able to be comprehended at all.
As I've had lots of "luck" with the 64 bit version of Windows, I'm willing to bet this may be why. Even though it is Windows Vista certified/compatible (whichever it is) it does not necessarily mean it works flawlessly with the 64 bit version. A quick Google search brought me to a few other people with similar issues. I have returned it after having no success when I tweaked with the settings, and I have since bought another camera that specifically states it works with the 64 bit version.
Hope this will save someone else some hassle!!
