1.0 out of 5 stars now i know... and knowing is half the battle, June 9, 2001

I got this a long while ago at an electronics store. I thought I was getting a good deal... digital pictures from my computer, web conferencing, the works. Well, it was fine for little while, until i learned better. This camera's software is just awful. It crashes every few still pictures you take, doesn't adjust to light very well, and there are always glitches when i make movie files. The pictures are always blurry and the camera doesn't adapt to any other type of software that i've tried. It's bad. I'm getting a newer, better megapixel digital camera to take some real pictures. Save your money. This one is terrible.

This camera is by far the worst I have ever seen. And in the past couple of years through work I have dealt with more than 8 different web cams. This crushed several computers and did work neither with PC nor with Mac. In fact when I tried to make it work with my Mac after several hours of continuous crushing I had to wipe the hard drive! I guess that it crushes both PC's and Mac's is the reason why they think this product is both platforms?!
With one word horrible...

2.0 out of 5 stars Incompatible with Windows XP, November 14, 2001

Running this on Windows 98, I did have some problems, such as poor video and graphic quality, but when I upgraded to Windows XP and went to Kensington's website to find out about updated drivers, I was told that 'due to an unforseen compatability issue', the camera wouldn't work with Windows 2000 or XP. so before you buy this camera you might want to think about whether's it's worth not buying XP...or if you already have XP, don't waste your money.
