I could not get the software to work correctly on several aspects. Including rhe program locked up often and several times locked up my Windows 7 system. I've never had a lockup on 7 before. I had to purchase YouCam 5 from Cyberlinks to solve the problems. It was recommend by Logitech customer support after they gave up try to fix my issues.

This is far and away the best retail webcam available. The clarity and vivid picture are just way better than anything else I've ever owned. Playing with the motorized features (pan, tilt, and zoom) are really neat, too. The single thing you have to remember is to keep the orbital ball covered when not in use. The lens is inclosed with a clear plastic ball, and will pit and fuzz thus distorting the clarity. I have tried to remove the clear cover, and hope I haven't revealed a new level of stupidity by not being able to....BUT....with that consideration, I highly recomend this cam.
What's great about it: Motorized features, and crystal clear
What's not so great: Need to protect the protective lense from dust

This is the first webcam that I've owned. I love the fact that it has a motorized lens. I also came to like the video effects that come with it, but I wish that they had more. The Right Light technology works great for when i'm in poorly lit rooms. My complaints would be that the face tracking doesn't seem to work well for me, it always focuses on something other than my face. The Auto-Focus at sometimes will not be clear. I find myself having to go into the settings and focus it manually. Other than the face tracking and auto focus, i would have to say that this webcam is really great.
What's great about it: The video quality is really great compared to many other webcams.
What's not so great: If you accidentally talk too loud, the microphone sounds horrible.

So far so good. I have no complaints. Using it as a webcam & for videos is cool. I haven't had a problem w/sound or video quality. Focusing is terrific. I have used it to point at things on my computer to the person I was speaking to & it was able to focus rather quickly. One thing I did notice is the face tracking isn't always working properly but that's a minor thing given everything else it does well.
I like it so much I got one for my sister. All in all, I like it !!
What's great about it: Easy set up

The camera really was very easy to set up, install and plug in to my computer. By following the directions on the instruction page I was able to install it myself (very computer UN-savvy person). The problem I had was caused by MY computer, it is old (6years). I found out that in order to use the webcam I must unplug my printer. The computer cannot run the webcam and have the printer plugged in at the same time. We found this out after we had a computer guy come in and take a look at what was going on. If not for my computer's age the install would have taken no time at all.
What's great about it: Fast and easy to set up
What's not so great: Trying to follow the English directions with multiple other languages on one page.

This cam is my best one yet. I replaced an older Logitech cam that I paid $90 for 3 years ago.Installation was easy, picture is great and the still images are awesome to say the least. It does help I must admit having a nice quad core computer and a great internet connection. Unless ya got that your cam will only work as well as your connection to the net. It even installed onto Windows7 Beta which I am running right now. No issues there either. It may cost abit more but the price for the quality is in my opinion the best deal out there.

I bought this over the other leading logitech cameras hoping that 8 megapixel definition would help out my complexion. I guess too much definition wasn't exactly the best choice for me. Oh well... didn't have to worry about that for long, seeing as it just plain stopped working. Now I knows my computerz an stuffz, and I knewd that the things was broken. Its not like I was messing around with it or anything, just thought that for 120 bucks it would at least bounce and not break. Boy was my face red after that!!
What's great about it: Looks like a cyclops penguin almost, kinda cool
What's not so great: makes your face uglier in my opinion

My wife's web cam (logitech quick cam silver) went belly up after about 6 years of use. So we searched around and researched several models and always found ourselves coming back to this model.
The features of it were a bit more then she NEEDED, but the face tracking, automatic light adjustments, filtering, and everything else that the software does with this cam is outstanding.
If your in the market for a web cam this is the one to look at A LOT. While the height of the ball makes it easy to tip over, (I have 2 cats and a 2 year old), this cam is well worth the price, and even more so if you can use your BB points or a discount coupon.
The image is super clear the refresh rate is outstanding. Once again Logitech has outdone them selves with this one.
What's great about it: Face Tracking, HD recording, Automatic light adjustments.
What's not so great: Ball height to stick ratio
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall this webcam offers some unique features you won't find in other web cams. Just make sure you follow the instructions exactly when setting up the software or you may find yourself spending a lot of time trying to get it to work. The cam works great in low light and bright settings and has excellent pickup on the microphone.
There are a few things that they need to improve on. The first is to fix the focus when using the zoom feature. It causes the image to become fuzzy even at the highest resolution setting. Also, when trying to use the tracking feature the camera will sometimes turn towards a direction other than the subject. The base is very heavy and doesn't travel well so I wouldn't recommend it for those using laptops.
Overall it is a bit expensive compared to other web cams but still a good buy with all the added features.

What's great about it: Easy to install, remote control of cam angle is nice, Works great in low light setting, great built in microphone.
What's not so great: Fuzzy picture on zoom, no remote web access, heavy base & not very portable, tracking software not very accurate.

This web-cam is that and more. It looks good (no... great) on my desk. I did not buy it as a Web cam only; I provide on-line training videos to our employees and before it, I "was" having to shoot twice to get close-ups.
~
Now I can shoot and have this web-cam in the shot when I am not shooting the close-up without anyone knowing what it is when I am zoomed out with the other camera.
~
It looks great in the shot, because it has an extention to raise the web-cam to 12" and with the internal rotating head... it allows the web-cam to stay in the same spot witout having to move it around.
~
I know another camcorder would be better; however, when you are working on a low budget... this more expensive than most other web-cams exceeds its expectations for me.

I love this camera. I picked it up as a Cool camera to replace an old one. In unpacked it and began using the software. The Face tracking is amazing! I also use Windows Media Encoder which allows me to record better frame rate than the Quick Cam Software. All in all it is the best If i could give more than five stars I would!

This camera is so cool! You can make your self look like a cartoon, or but a arrow though your head.
The camera can also follow you around.
I got this camera for my birthday, and it works very, very well.
The Frames per second are fast, (unlike what other people said), and picture can be set up to 4 megapixles.
I make movies on my camera, and it works preety well.
Thieir is a lot of stuff you can do with this camera, and you WILL like it!
If something isen't right, like the frames per second seem slow, or if the mic picks up sound funny, just
re-install the software.
If that dosen't work, then their might be something wrong with the camera, and needs to be returned.

The frame rate in most lighting is around 10-15 and lags terribly. In a very VERY bright room the frame rate increases a bit. But overall, the camera really was disappointing. The motion tracking works SOME times, other times it will flow for a few seconds and then finally lose your face and get totally lost. Its jerky when it moves.
