disappointed, totally.....September 6, 2008 I bought this webcam about 7months ago..but rarely used it..initially it was working fine, but I don't know what happened,i din't even drop it or mishandle it..The picture quality is horrible..I don't even bother using it anymore...I paid $27 for this piece of junk...total waste of money..
I'm returning it.August 17, 2008 The video quality is nowhere near what I expected and I am disapointed enough to return it.
Its got a good swivel and thats about it; the content that comes with it is so-so and the headset is pretty minimal.
Poor pictureAugust 15, 2008 This camera produces a poor image that is grainy and has color problems even in decent light. The picture is much worse than images from the Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks in the same light. I am returning my Quickcam Chat but keeping the Quickcam for Notebooks.
Great Webcam for LinuxJuly 21, 2008 This webcam isn't high resolution. Yes, it will not fair very well in low light and its images won't be cystal clear.
It is a webcam, so if I am going to be streaming video across the internet, I'd like it to get there before I go to bed, so small images are good.
It works perfectly with Linux. Just plug it in (which is more than I can say for Vista, which seems to think it matters which USB port I use...). It works great with Kopete (IM client), cheese and camorama (apps for video and images) and motion (motion detecting software)
Not that greatJuly 1, 2008 I should do a video review using the cam, but you'd not be able to see me very well. This is not worth the money. Spend the extra and get the next step up. I bought this to chat with my daughter and some friends. It is grainy, and VERY slow... i look like I am moving in slow motion ALL the time. My daughter's webcam is fantastic! It is super clear and like watching TV. No lag time or anything. The webcam was easy to install, no issues with Skype (which is what I bought it for), and it works fine on my laptop. Bright light, such as sunlight, in front of you helps with clarity a bit. There is not any microphone, but does come with a mini headset of sorts. It has an earbud with a mic on the cord. I've not tried that as my laptop has a microphone. If you have the extra to spend, get the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. If not, and you are like me, this one will do the job, but don't expect it to be that great.
