5.0 out of 5 stars Best investment., November 1, 2004

By	N. Zhong "gadgetfan" (MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Believe me, you don't need to spend over $30 on a webcam nowadays(mainly because of the bottleneck of network speed, I am using DSL...). This labtec webcam pro fits perfectly your everyday use. When using with msn messenger, both the pic and sound quality are good but when it comes to yahoo messenger, the motion frames lag behind a little bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT work with MAC at all., September 12, 2006

By	T. Conrad "digitalvoicefan" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just so you know. It's not super clear in the description, but it is not compatible with a mac unless you are running Windows XP on the intel-chip.

1.0 out of 5 stars Messy installation, December 24, 2005

By	Mrk Twain - See all my reviews

It's probably a decent webcam.

But the software installation will add more than 2700 keys
and more than 4500 values to your Windows registry. It will
also modify/patch hundred of files in your Windows "system32"
directory. Unsuspecting users will wonder why their PC's
is slowing down a bit after the installation. The modification
to your Windows system will stay even if after you uninstall
the Labtec Webcam software.

A simple device such as a webcam should have a clean and simple
installation, instead of being so intrusive and try to take over
your operating system.
