4.0 out of 5 stars An Important Note!!!, January 18, 2010

This review is from: Hercules Dualpix Exchange Webcam (Personal Computers)

This webcam has been easy to use with both my PC and Mac. Just plug it in and go.

The picture quality is good, especially for the money. One thing to know that GREATLY IMPROVES picture quality is focusing the camera! This is not an autofocus camera, so you must turn the ring that is around the lens on the front of the camera.

I noticed that at short focal lengths, this camera is GREAT as a macro camera. It has been useful for showing documents while video conferencing with lab mates.

I had no trouble using this with iChat or Gmail. It's great if you have good lighting (a little dark if not, though). The built-in mic is great - no feedback with the speakers.

Nice webcam with good picture quality and light level adaptation; clip is useful and well constructed; cable is pretty long. Price is right. Most importantly, it works out of the box with Linux using the USB Video Class (luvc) module. Skype video also works. Great choice!
