4.0 out of 5 stars Did not work with Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Integrated-Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player, December 1, 2011

Seems like a high quality product, nice sturdy plastic. However, I can't vouch for it's use as a camera because it did *NOT* work with my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Integrated-Wi-Fi 3D Blu-ray DVD Player. As of 12/1/2011, the current firmware on my DMP-BDT210 does not recognize this camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars works with 2010 Panasonic Viera VT25 set, September 14, 2011

Just an FYI, I am successfully using the Logitech TV Cam for Skype with my 2010 Panasonic TC-P58VT25. I don't believe the 2010 VT25's are included in Logitech's compatibility list (2011's are), but it does work.

The only thing about this camera not to like is the price, but even there you are getting quite a bit for your $150.

I have a 2011 model Panasonic Viera, and the camera is a fantastic companion for the TV - easily comparable to the "professional" video conferencing we had at work a bare two years ago, for a lot less money. On top of that, it turns out that this camera works with at least one of last year's Vieras (the P50G20), which is not officially supported but I gave my camera to my sis-in-law and it works on her TV.
