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.

This camera works great for me. The onboard microphone picks up my voice up to 10 feet away, and I didn't have to shout so my friend could here me talking. He did notice that I was moving away from the mic so he understood why my voice was getting softer.

The head set works great too... and no it's not a right sided ear peice like the other review says. You can rotate the ear peice so you can use it for your left ear as well. The mic in that head picks up my voice like a telephone would.

Video seems ok. I wasn't really expecting super clear video capture, it does an ok job for video converence. The problem I had for this camera between using Skype, MSN, and YM is that YM can't detect the webcam. I've tried a dozen ways to get it to detect the webcam, even using an upgraded PC, YM just can't detect the webcam. It only detected the Mic in the webcam. With that in mind if I have to do a video conference I switch to MSN or Skype.

All in all I like the webcam. Just wish YM can detect the camera.

My boyfriend and I are currently 11 hours away from one another and this camera is the answer to our prayers! I've had to tweak it a little to get the focus and color just right, but after that amazing quality. The delay is very little too on Yahoo Instant Msg. I'm not sure about the other programs because I haven't tested it out, probably about the same. I'd say this is well worth the price.

You won't be sorry. If you get it and its out of focus or the picture is a bit grainy just check their website for tech support.

I bought this webcam exclusively for using on an instant messenging device and I have to say it works pretty well. The pictures are very clear unlike others who's pictures are grainy.

This camera comes with a headset and a clip for putting on a computer screen which is nice. The clip is neat and works well but the earphones are kind of weird. I ended up using another pair but the included pair has a built in microphone so if you don't have another mic use them.

This webcam works well with many IM programs including AIM and MSN along with many others. I've tried it on AIM and it works extremely well. The other person doesn't even have to have a camera as long as they have some sort of a live connect option. If you can get that going you can/ or both can send videos back and forth that are just as good as sending a still picture....same nice quality.

All in all it is a very good buy and I recommend it.

For a cheaper cam this does the job! I found the image quality was very good. Only complaint is when it is darker. There is a low light boost but unless you have on some background lighting, it is too dark.

Otherwise, daytime use is very good, and still pics look good too. I would recommend this to others!

I just brought this webcam today and I was really impressed with it. The picture is very clear. I let my friends view it and they were like "nice webcam". Its a great product with a decent price.

I bought this so that my daughter could video-IM with her friends, and to be honest, I was motivated largely by the rock-bottom price.

That said, I ended up paying for my cheapness by having a devil of a time installing it. I first tried the CD included with the camera, following the installation procedures meticulously, several times. My year-old, XP-based computer would never recognize the camera. So then I went to the Logitech Web site which offered a different driver; this proved no better. I was about to send the camera back when a Google search revealed people with similar problems, and the availability of an older Logitech driver. This older driver installed perfectly, and my daughter has been video-IMing ever since.

In short, it's a great price, and the camera does work, but don't be surprised if there's some startup hassles.

All I will say is that I was away from home sent this to my wife she installed (says alot) and we were able to communicate.Image clarity excellent,set up is a breeze and can be used right out of the box,the headset included in the package made this a one stop product and for laptop users the camera base shapes to fit overall extremely good product.
