My brother and I have video chatted over the past few months, but his frame rates were very low and the video pixelated. He has a cable modem, so speed isn't an issue. So it was quite a shock when we video chatted yesterday evening...his video was not only clear, but streaming nicely with full motion and the built-in mic picked up his voice clearly. The performance was annoyingly close to my expensive camcorder doing double-duty as a webcam! He isn't using bleeding-edge equipment either: A Pentium III E-Machines, with USB 1.0 ports. If this camera can put some life back into that old goat, then this webcam is pretty darn good.

This is a great inexpensive option as far as webcams go. I have purchased others with more features and a higher price tag, but find myself seldom using the extras. This product does the basics, and I think that's all that most people really need. Zero problems!

Small and cute. Its cable length is long enough to be put at some distance away. This works with Mac.

As a linux user, I've all too often run into poor hardware support from vendors who only know of or support ms windows, so it was with some trepidation that I recently looked for a reasonably priced webcam. When I saw the logitech quickcam chat, I figured it was hard to go too far wrong for the price, but as it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it works fairly nicely, and it was surprisingly little fuss to set up.

I merely followed the instructions in the suse webcam wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Web_Cameras and I was up and running in a few minutes, chatting with kopete on a yahoo connection to a friend in another state.

I rate it at 4 stars only because the quality of the images is not as good as it could be - but for a cheap webcam it's perfectly acceptable.

Guess those who say the webcam is good are first timers!!! this webcam is just too blurry and get worse under low lighting conditions.. the item says its 640 X 480 pixels.... thats wrong the best is 320 X 240!!! Even that is not clear the grainy image is enough to spoil your day.. one of the worst logitech products.. don't even know why its sold in the it stores.. this should be contraband from the IT world, real big flop...real big flop its lesss than 1/5.............

I looked for the cheapest thing on the market, and it works just as great as any of the 100 cameras. Good product!

It's pretty good quality. Easy to set up and use, but you get what you pay for. The video quality is pretty good and it adjusts to my indoor lighting pretty well. Sometimes I have to shine some light on myself, but usually it's no different than when I'm doing homework. I don't really use the microphone because I already have one that is probably better. Hoever, I do have one issue. The focus on the camera is manual so you have to adjust it yourself. It's fine when you're just going to talk at the desk and usually just sit there, but if you want to move around and show things, it'll be a major pain, but I guess it's good for what you pay for.

Sometimes the light indicating that it is on will stay on all the time, but that's usually on start up. Once you open a program that would use the video like skype, it will turn off after you're done. All in all, good value and does just fine for video chatting, easy to clip onto the laptop, even if it isn't the most secure, but it's not like I move the laptop around everywhere while I'm talking.

Don't waste your money on this outdated camera. Yes, you are visible with this camera but the quality is so poor, grainy and blurry, it made the whole experience quite disappointing. Spend a little more for a better product.

This one is just not up to par. I have a Logitech camera with built-in mic that is in the $50 range, and got this for my office. The room-light picture is far less competent, and the camera ghosted pretty badly. I've traded it in for one with a better picture, and am much happier.

I recommend, as temptimg as it is to save money, if you want to use a camera inside, for Sype-ing or something similar, that you got for a camera a bit more competent than this, even though it means spending a few more dollars.

When I ordered this webcam I never know it would be so easy to install and use, plus the clear images, pictures and videos are great, now I'm enjoying my PC more than before, The Mic and headphone are so great and helpful too..Awsome!!!
