 Rubbish hardware! November 11, 2008
Smugly (UK)
I bought this based on reviews on Amazon. I guess the others have had a good experience but mine has been awful. I have worked in IT and with comp[uters for over ten years and know what to expect. This device has worked and can work but will stop working sporadically. Sometime the webcam will work, sometimes the microphone will work but rarely both. A search for latest drivers will produce a message "no drivers available" but when you search on the logitech site you find updated drivers. But these don't help. I will be getting another webcam, different brand.
A good cheap webcam with resolvable problems September 20, 2008

Very good camera for the price, I was unsure whether the quality would be good but went ahead and bought it. Very glad i did as the quality is good enough for use on skype which was the main reason for purchase.I have yet to use the microphone as i have a seperate one. I have only given it four stars as the speed is slighty slow, so lips are never synched with sound but this doesnt matter much to me. the only major problem i had on installation was the software supplied when used created severe crackling and noise with any sounds even when the camera was off. This however, thankfully, can be resolved by right clicking on the icon in the task bar and clicking check for updates and downloading when prompted. After this I have had no further problems and am thoroughly happy with it.

The setup for this webcam was very easy, however, when I try to take a photo with it, the screen is black, you can't take a photo on this webcam because, if, for example, you wanted to take a photo of yourself, you can't see yourself on the screen, just blacl, and it won't let you change the brightness and contrast of the webcam. If anyone however knows how to fix this, could you please tell me.

For the price your going to pay, this is a very good webcam, good value for money. It's 100% ideal for making video calls over msn or skype etc. It comes with easily installed software that allows the user to adjust colour, brightness and contrast settings etc. It is very small and looks good on my lcd monitor. It would also fit on my dwnstairs ctr but cannot say for certain this would be the same with all ctrs. This camera has a decent in built microphone which can also be used on the ps3 as it connects via usb.
Now, id say this camera roughly records around 20 fps The lip synch could be alot better but u cannot complain at all for the price. however if your planning to make a vlog for utube, u cant it just looks silly, u will have to invest in a better camera.
to sumerise, good value for money, the mic is ps3 compatible, no problems with vista, clear picture with adjustable settings and fits easily onto any lcd monitor at least. =)
Not Vista compatible July 23, 2008

Sadly, whatever this product might claim, and whatever other reviewers might say about it, it is NOT compatible with Windows Vista. The first thing the installation disc does is display a message to this effect. If, like me, you plough on with the installation regardless, you may reach the point where you are told the installation has been successful - but not successful enough to operate the camera!
I'm sure this is a good product on other operating systems (XP for example), but if you have Vista (which has a lot to answer for in its general uncooperativeness with other software) it just won't work.
