I bought this webcam for my mother as a gift so we can enjoy live conversation with the family. The installation was really easy and I had no problem to adapt the settings for better image quality. The webcam works very well with MSN Messenger (I have not tested the other IM but drivers seem very standard). Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and I would recommend it to anyone that want an affordable entry-level webcam for IM usage.

Do not buy this camera if you have a Dell computer. It doesn't say anywhere in the specs but this camera won't work with a Dell computer, and you can only use it if you pay $100 to Dell to get them to send you a driver that will work with the camera.

I could not install this camera. I have windows vista in my computer and this camera will not function with it, Went to HP website , installed the driver update they suggested and still it did not work.
Any ideas out there

The camera is good enough for the price I paid. After moving for a new location, I didn't find the CD for Windows XP. Trying to get the driver was a headache. Actually, I never found it! Fortunately, I found my CD after 3 weeks. Moreover, this camera does not work with Windows Vista, and of course, I know I won't find a driver for Vista

This camera is great for me to see my friends back home when I'm away at school. It's a little top heavy but if you put it somewhere on a shelf where it won't get bumped, it's fine. The resolution takes a while to set right, and it doesn't do well at night unless there is a lot of light in the room. But it's a great value, and I'm definitely pleased with the product.

The picture is not at all clear, it is a completely worthless device. I don't know if my expectations are too high or what. I am returning this "webcam" asap.

Godo camera for the low cost. Doesn't have any problems with working. Self-powered by computer and USB cable is great. Does tend to be kind of orange tinged at times. Not completely awesome, but good and sturdy webcam for someone on a budget.

I bought this camera a few months ago, it was easy to install and use, been using it on Yahoo Messenger,and it seems to work fine. The only reason I didnt give it 4 or 5 stars is because even though its very light(which is good) the base doesnt seem heavy enough to support the camera,Its fallen quite a few times already. I always seem to have to use something to weigh it down so it can be stable and keep it from falling or moving, almost seems that the cord is heavier than the camera, but other than that the price is right for something fairly simple, especially if this is your first web cam.

I bought this webcam for use in another country - it works well giving me a clear picture of my people on the other end of the world. No complaint at present.

A very good cam for your money, it has exactly what you need for a video conversation.
