You can even edit multiple video clips and picutres into a video mail movie.

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

By	Melanie Hawthorne "sinlessgrace" (North Bellmore, NY) - See all my reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars S-U-C-K-S!!!, February 20, 2004

By	Sinnamon "Blackrose" - See all my reviews

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Works, But Not Well, December 27, 2004

By	K. Lang (Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
