I just bought this item after seeing previous comments. But this camera is aweful. Just waste of money. Produces horrible video 90% not clear. I can't see myself. buy a better product for little extra money. Worst possible picture.

I purchased this webcam to play around with, not for anything serious. I use it a little for Yahoo Messenger and also to take quick grabs in Photoshop. The image is small, grainy, and slow to update, but it works just fine for my purposes in Yahoo Messenger, where I'm not going to have a very high quality image anyway. The image looks a lot better if the room is well lit, so it might not be worthwhile if you're trying to use it in a darkened room. Artifacts appear on the image even in good light, but faces are quite recognizable. The software that comes with the webcam is mostly junk that I don't recommend installing, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it supports image captures via the TWAIN interface in Photoshop. The low quality of the images can actually make them fun for some things. The clip that is supposed to secure the webcam is only useful for laptops or thin LCD panels. It won't even come close to fitting my Viewsonic LCD that's about 2-inches thick. That means I have to perch it at the top, which is precarious. The base is weighted slightly, but the webcam has already fallen several times, without apparent harm. The webcam is sort of cute -- looks like a movie robot. It may need to be plugged directly into a USB port or powered hub -- my unpowered hub didn't have enough juice for it. The webcam came with a separate microphone, which I didn't expect. I haven't tried it. Overall, if you want a webcam to use for playing around in a well lit room and don't require a high quality image, this webcam is cheap solution that worked fine for me. The image quality is low, but that's all I needed and all I was willing to pay for. I do wish it had a better base for attaching to thicker perches. Tested with Windows 98SE.

If u really want to use a webcam with these new technology advancement, then this is not it. Choose a better one. It gets just struck for a long time and th image quality is pretty bad.

I used this webcam and the resolution is very sharp and fast. Highly reccomended! Nice quality too.
