I got this camera yesterday and played around with it for sometime.

Procs:

- Quality of the pic is better than my 1.3M camera @640 x 480/30fps

- It has built in micro phone which worked for me

- Easily integrated into skype and msn messenger. Just plug and play.

- The accompanying software has features to share an application, monitor desktop, etc and lot other goodies.

Cons:

- HD with 1280x720 is captured @9 fps. So even if you blink there is a lag and picture appears blurred. I am really disappointed with this. I bought this because of HD support and no where here or in ZipZoomfly the fps is mentioned.

- you need to install accompanying software for changing capture resolution. Not a bid deal tough. The software as such is easy to use and there is online help provided. The software crashed twice while I was playing with it :(

If you are looking for better HD motion experience, I would suggest this is not the one for you.

I had high hopes for this camera because it advertizes itself as HD with a glass lens and auto-focus. I am running an up to date computer with Windows Vista Professional. While the device installed plug and play, it then did not work reliably - either with the software provided or with skype (it crashed both of them after one use and the only way to get it working again was to reboot the computer). I could not find any troubleshooting information for this product anywhere. The picture quality was wholly unimpressive. The face tracking and auto-zoom work awkwardly at best, under any light conditions. I truly have no idea what they mean by auto-focus as there appears to be no focusing element in the device. Further, when I clicked the AF toggle the image went out of focus, and stayed that way. For all of these reasons, I will go back to using my basic logitech webcam, which perfomrs FAR better.
