This is a wonderful webcam. Many users seem to have had trouble with this or have had complaints about the image quality so I decided to make a video review with this camera to show you how well it does work. The Camera looks toy-ish in the picture, but it does not feel cheap at all. I am very happy with this webcam, and it is great for the 7.00 price tag. By the way, when Put the border around the picture with the German flag colors in the corner, I am saying I speak German (Ich spreche deutsch). The programs I mentioned are both free, and are called Debut Video Capture Software and ManyCam. I hope the video itself will put to rest any concerns you have about image quality and compatibility, at least with Windows Vista.

This review is from: 5.0 Megapixel USB PC Webcam Camera for PC Laptop Noteboo (Personal Computers)

This is a great little USB web cam for very little money. When testing a dozen or so different web cams, I found this the easiest to use and the least expensive.

This cam does not come with software, and does not have fancy features like zoom, autofocus, and subject tracking. It is fixed focal length and focus, like a cheap still camera.

I found the lack of software to be a plus, as most all webcam software borders on being malware with its invasive and obnoxious effects on Windows. I have not tried it with Linux yet, but will update this review when I do.

This camera worked out of the box on standard Windows camera drivers, and for simple web conferencing, it is great. I have used it with the Elluminate service, and it functions quite adequately.

If you need a basic, generic, USB webcam and don't want to shell out nearly $100 for a good one, give this beastie a try. It isn't fancy, but it works.


UPDATE FEB. 2009

I have also now tried this camera on the MSI Wind Barebone computer running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It works well with Linux, too.

UPDATE July 2009

I recently got my 5th one of these cameras, and it arrived damaged (poor packaging). I emailed HDE through Amazon and immediately got a response and they sent a new camera. Customer service like that is just darned hard to find. Good job!

Brought this camera to chat with my husband in Iraq. Camera works GREAT! Very clear picture. Im actually buying another one for my husband so he doesnt have to share. The only thing to make this better would be a built in mic.
