I use this web camera with Dell Inspiron E1505 notebook. The quality of the picture is not the best, but it does its job: you can tell the features and shapes of the familiar things and people on the other side of the line. I use it to communicate with friends via Skype. Sometimes there is a stripe of undeveloped color that goes through the middle of the screen. I attribute it to the camera itself because I don't have anything like that happening on my other Logitech web cam that I use with my PC. I paid around $30 for QuickCam. Do not pay more for it.

I bought this Cam after installing an extensive videoconferencing suite in work so that I would link in via an IP link. From my home PC I loaded up the disk, plugged in the camera and was away. One of the easiest pieces of equipment to use. The software bundle gives you all the links to the main providers and so you can be yahooing or skypeing in minutes.

The quality of the cam is obviously not the same as cams with an extra zero on the end but it is great for home use and gives you free video connectivity.

Ease of use/installation 10/10, Value for money 10/10, Lens quality 7/10.

It says Vista compliant on the box, but you will need to download a patch before plugging in the camera (I used it on XP).

None of the main providers provide IP connection software, but it can be found on the net with a simple search.

Excellent video and audio. Very convenient size. The only thing that I don't love about this webcam is the clamp. It's a bit awkward to clamp it to the top of the laptop monitor. Nevertheless, I recommend the QuickCam without reservation.

This is easy to install, no issues with installing to Windows XP (SP2), looks good and not that expensive. From what I have read, works easily with all instant messaging tools, I have sued with Windows Messenger and Skype. The clip for laptop is a strong one. Strongly recommend getting this one.

Stay away from this puppy! Has not worked from day one and even though it says that it is compatible with WIN2000 and with YM and Skype, it keeps on crashing the system after a few moments and even after downloading the most recent firmware/drivers and software, refuses to work.

Have tried contacting Logitech tech support and not a peep out of them. Might as well stick with a no-name brand and save your money!

Very disappointing results from this camera. For about the same price the microsoft camera blows this away. Terrible video quality, horrible lag. the good reviews on this camera must be from people who have no comparison to a good one. Logtitech should remove this from there product line. Don't waste your money like I did.

I love this camera! I am expecting my first baby and I bought this camera so I can communicate visually with my family in Europe. The clarity of the image and the sound is amazing! Even my sister noted that she sees me very very clearly (especially compared to her web cam). Also, it's very easy to attach it to your laptop and adjust it as needed. I love as well how compact and light it is. Great product - which reaffirms Logitech as one of my favorite brands!

It is the most portable WebCam ever seen with great image quality without degrading the performance. THe sofware that comes with the cam is great and easy to install.

I use MSN everyday to video chat and thought that I should buy a decently priced web cam. Well, it turns out that my girlfriends $15 web cam does a better job then this one. I had to disable all of the automatic settings and manually configure it all myself to get a decent picture out of it. It overexposes everything!!!

I purchased this item a month ago. Installed easily worked right away. Its compact. Designed for Laptops. I would recommend this product.
