This is a good webcam and comes with good software. The headset microphone works well but is with one ear-piece for the right ear which may not appeal to everyone.
Overall it is a good product and is decently priced. So if you are looking for a good basic webcam I would definitely recommend this one.

The picture quality was good enough for my budget and requirements. Though the images appear more smooth and a lesser framer rate in megapixel resolution.

In moderate lighting; with not too much of sunlight, the performance is really impressive.

This camera is awesome. It comes w/ a headset too that you can use when not using the webcam itself. The built in microphone is perfect allowing you to sit back and relax w/o being too close to the camera. The image is clear though it takes awhile to get the focus if you are moving too much (like when you are showing something using your webcam) but in real usage (just video phone) it is perfect. I love it and almost got another one for my family.
