The Ezonics EZCam II will change the way you communicate. This USB camera will allow you to capture full-motion video, capture still videos, and video conference the EZ way. Installation is a snap. Just plug the EZCam II into your USB port, load the drivers and you are ready to go. This camera captures video at up to 30 frames per second and comes with a full suite of software applications to help you maximize your productivity and enjoyment when using this product.

Imagine sending your friends, family, or business associates video e-mail instead of just a plain e-mail. With your EZCam II system and the included software you can attach an executable file to the normal e-mails you send every day. Now when the recipient of your e-mail downloads the file you have attached, and double clicks, there is your video, full motion and with audio. It's almost like being there. You can even edit multiple video clips and picutres into a video mail movie.

With your EZCam II and the included Microsoft NetMeeting software you can now video conference with others who also have a PC camera and Microsoft Netmeeting. The EZCam II includes GameCam SE Plus Software. Now you can play inside the game. No joystick, no game pad, just you. Play basketball, karate, shoot ghosts, and more. It's the next generation in games and it's included with your EZCam II. This package includes a bonus EZCam so you can give one to your friends or family.

2.0 out of 5 stars EZCam Not As EZ As I Thought, June 14, 2003

This review is from: Ezonics EZ Video Chat Kit (EZ-388) (Personal Computers)

I bought the webcam, tempted by my GoldBox offer. I read all three reviews and figured 2 out of 3 wasn't bad. I wonder whether I'd be better off without a webcam than with one that works when it feels like it. It comes with little to no instructions and when you click Help on one of Ezonics' programs, a little pop up screen comes up telling you that it's Version 1.something or the other. There is no help feature if I'm having trouble and I find troubleshooting difficult. It is easy to install, but that's the only EZ part of Ezonics. I got this for [a little money]. Hold your dinero and save up for a better camera, that may be more expensive but much more user friendly. Also it has a bad habit of freezing my computer when loading.
P.S. If you're looking for a video function, it's not so bad, but mere snapshots (like webcam still pics) are hard to do. I need to use the handle of a broom to take a picture of myself from a distance!

Oh man, what a load of poo this cam is! all the footage it takes has a green tint to it no matter how good the lighting, you literally have to shine it into a bright light to get it to go to a normal tone. the software is horrible. it freezes after about 15 seconds of recording, then you have to shut the program down via Alt+Ctrl+Del and the cams light stays on afterwards. so THEN you have to comPLETELY restart your pc. this happens anytime the cam freezes. this is a COMPLETE waste of money!

I was given this camera as a gift, so I can't complain, but I haven't been very happy with it. The image is always GREEN, and unless I have a blinding light nearby the image is always DARK. The software has been incredibly buggy and useless, and the hosting site I used was difficult to manage and eventually locked me out for some reason. I wouldn't recommend this webcam to anyone else.
