4.0 out of 5 stars Good Solid Mac Compatible WebCam, December 23, 2008

I have this camera and I like it a lot. It replaced a firewire cam that was getting pretty tired. The setup was real easy and it's low light performance is amazing. I'm not sure what the other reviewer was experiencing, but mine has been just the opposite. I'm running on a Mac (osx 10.5.6) and all I had to do was plug the unit in to my usb chain. The system recognized it immediately. I then had to select it from the video device pulldown menus within all the apps I use. THAT was it! There are 3 buttons on the camera that don't function on the mac but that's fine by me. The stereo mic works good and produces great sound. I use this cam for video conferencing, ichat, skype, and to make tutorial videos (screenflow). I've read reviews on other sites and the biggest complaint was that the base was big and clunky. I actually like that. I gives the cam stability and provides a great foundation for the unit. I'm very satisfied with this webcam.

The only negative I have is that the frame rate isn't as good as I would like it to be, but I honestly think that is my fault. I have about 12 usb items daisy chained together on my system. I plan to split that up a bit and install powered usb hubs. We'll see if that improves the results. Honestly though, I can recommend this camera.

Good product, however the pivot at the lense linkage was quite weak. It did not hold the lense at the desired angle. It needs a screw not a pin for that linkkage.

Overall great Webcam. The only fault is that it does not stay in position. I have it sitting on top of my monitor screen and it will slowly slide down and not maintain the set postion. I have not found a way to tighten the Webcam onto it's hinge.
