The product was a gift so I could communicate face-to-face w/my sister who now lives in Germany. I don't have a lot of experience with web cams, but this one seems to work great. The picture colors are vivid. The quality is crisp - not grainy at all. I haven't quite figured out all of the extra bells & whistles, but I'm sure I will in time. Overall, I give the product an A!
What's great about it: Easy to operate - idiot proof.
What's not so great: The clasp didn't fit the lap top, but luckily there is a great stand.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was my first webcam, I wanted to make sure I got a good one. I had read the reviews and looked at other cams. I finally made the decision to buy this one. The video and sound are very good, but im very disapointed that it will not work on any video chat place besides Skype. I tried everything, ooVoo, Aim, Yahoo, Windows live, and tokbox, it even sometimes would not work on Skype. When i try to use it all it does is freeze up my computer and tell me that everything is not responding. When someone would send me a video call and I would answer it, it would tell them I denied it. When I would send them one it wouldnt go through. This was deffinatly not worth the $85 I paid for it. I am going to have to take this back.
What's great about it: Sound and video
What's not so great: Does not work on any video chat places
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been holding my breath on buying a webcam because I like to shop around and make sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck. After reading all the other reviews on this cam I figured it seemed like a safe investment... and it was. Thank you guys!
Honestly, this thing is awesome! It's small, looks great, comes with a stand if you don't want to clip it to your laptop, comes with a case for the camera, and of course a CD for installing. Aside from that; the sound is great and so is the picture. I had a little bit of sticker shock at the counter, but I'm using this to keep in touch with loved ones and that is priceless.
It was super easy to install. I had this thing up and running in under 10 min! I love it!
I'm sure I'll be telling those on the other side they need to upgrade to this one :)
What's great about it: It's a Logitech... it will last!
What's not so great: The initial feeling of spending $85 after tax
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am in the military and needed a webcam to communicate with family at home. I bought this cam knowing it was a little pricey but was not disappointed. I plugged it in and was video messaging on skype within 5 minutes. The picture was great and the microphone worked well. No headset needed. If you want a video cam that works well, is easy to install and use, provides great picture and sound, than spend the money and go with this one.
What's great about it: Plug and play. It was too easy to setup.
What's not so great: A little pricey

I was looking to purchase a webcam to chat online with my parents from California. I always investigate products before purchasing and found the reviews quite positive about this camera. I also needed a camera that would fit securely on my laptop. I like the fact that I can mount the camera on a post if I were to use it with a desktop. As other reviewers have stated with the stand I would recommend using a piece of tape to hold the stand in place.
I have used this webcam to chat on Skype and it was works without a hitch thus far.
I purchased this camera on sale @ Best Buy for $69 [always check the online price first, the camera was $10 less online vs. in the store and BB price matched themselves].
If you are looking for a great laptop webcam at a good price I would highly recommend this camera to others.
What's great about it: Clear video images, microphone quality is good
What's not so great: Nothing yet. Been a great camera!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used logitech products for many years and have found them to be reliable and well designed. So no surprise with this webcam. It is very compact and easily & securely clips to a laptop or flat screen display. The on-screen setup is simple and the only problem encountered was with the built in mic which initially was not switched on and required some experimenting with the camera settings.
I bought the camera based on very good online reviews and am happy with the results. Too bad the price is on the higher end of the scale but so are the camera features and picture quality.
What's great about it: Super picture, small size, clips easily & securely to laptop, great features and no hassle set up.
What's not so great: The camera is top of the line but has a price to match.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the 1st time I have purchased a cam for the laptop, and I am very impressed with it. This one blows away the one I purchased about a week before, but had to return it (not Best Buy), because the quality was so bad. It was about 1/3 the price of this one, but to me, it was worth nothing. :-( Now this cam is GREAT!! A little pricey, but worth every penny! The video quality is sharp, and the microphone is mediocre, but not great.
What's great about it: Easy to setup, high quality videos and still pictures
What's not so great: No sound on the motion detector, only video, and microphone quality could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

The webcam is very easy to load on your computer and easy to startup. If you are using it a movie recorder the instruction are fine but if you want to use as a web cam you need to know to down load the "Skype" software to be able to view friends on the other end. Great product.
What's great about it: very easy to use once you down load the Skype program
What's not so great: No instructions to down load the Skype program to use as a web cam
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased three of these webcams so my parents and in-laws can see and talk to my wife and me. It was so simple to install, and it came with its own video conferencing software (Logivid – also simple to install). I like the fact that I can put in one installation CD and get the webcam and video conferencing software up and running – it only took 15 minutes. My inlaws are not the most computer savvy, but they were able to install the webcam and video conferencing software in about 30 minutes. You register your email address and that is how people find you – so simple. You can even use the webcam to make windows media videos – great if you don’t want to use a camcorder. I liked this webcam so much I just got one for my sister (4 webcams in all). Oh, it comes with a stand or you can clip it to a laptop screen.
What's great about it: The video software from Logitech that comes with it - no need to use other video conferencing software
What's not so great: Depending on the internet connection (NOT THE CAMERA) the picture is fuzzy
I would recommend this to a friend!

So I bought this web cam, and I am glad I did. It has great great quality. Never shuts down on me. Rarely skips on me when I'm on. LogiTech is a great brand of web cams. Good job everyone.

What's not so great: Ato changes to much sometimes

I tried 3 other brands before I finally settled on this particular one and it turned out to be a great purchase. I have had it attached to both a Vista 32 and 64 bit laptop and it worked well with no glitches. The webcam has superior video quality yet will take superb still shots as well. The microphone is very sensitive to sound and both the sound and lighting are qualities you will appreciate. Guess this is why Logitech has such a great reputation for manufacturing quality equipment. Bottom line, if you need a webcam this is the one!
What's great about it: Easily portable but does include desk stand and comes with a great software package
What's not so great: just a little pricey
I would recommend this to a friend!

I decided to buy this one instead of using the intergrated one on my laptop.
I have used cams from logitec before and decided to try this one. I admit that I was a little "iffy" with the price. All said and done, it's worth it.
The resolutions and frame rate are great. I've only had video this clear using a digital camcorder and cables. Vista stopped the use of that.
If you're going to invest in a good cam, this is the one for you.
Like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for"
This one will not dissapoint.
What's great about it: The video quality,no problem setting it up.
What's not so great: The price, but it's worth the extra money.

Great video quality, very interesting effects. You can replace your face with the face of an avatar but as you move your head, eyes and mouth it mimics your gestures. There's even a gallery for more of these kinds of effects.
Unfortunately I miss the basic effects that are bundled with my laptop's webcam (chicony usb). Things like putting lightning on the screen or surrounding the border with flowers, etc...
And the video effects aren't working with a flash based video chat I use! I am running 64-bit vista so that may be the cause.
What's great about it: It was easy to install, worked well except for video effects
What's not so great: The video effects are very advanced but they missed basics (like putting lightning on the screen or sharing the desktop)

Great webcam for the price (definitely wait and buy it on sale). I've had it for about a week and havent had any problems. Picture quality is by far better than the Intel webcam I first bought 10 years ago. It can be used with either a laptop (attached clip) or it has a convenient stand it comes with. It also comes with a small carrying case that can be easily thrown into your briefcase along with your laptop.
Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Simple to use, just plug and play, purchased on sale for $69.99 with additional 10% off rebate
What's not so great: Clip does need to be re-worked not that easy to attached to my laptop
