You Get What You Pay For April 22, 2006

I've owned and used probably 4 or 5 webcams over the years, and this one has been one of the worst. I bought it at Wal-Mart, because it was so cheap ($29?), and felt like I had nothing to loose in trying it. Well, it performs like a $29 webcam. The picture is pretty bad except under full sunlight. And no amount of tweeking with software controls can make a lower-light picture look decent. Grainy, bad contrast, and color-shifted.
 Not that bad... January 27, 2006

If you are looking for a camera just to be able to chat with friends, this camera isn't bad at all. It's not expensive or anything so you can't expect too much from it...
It does it's job, although the lighting does have an orange color to it, but its not as bad as it sounds...and the installation is real easy to figure out. It's very simple, and it almost makes it not as good because it is so simple..
Don't buy this camera expecting to take good pictures with it..
If you are looking for a real good quality image, I wouldn't recommend this camera, though if you are just looking for something to be able to chat with friends its works just fine!
 Only the software included is worse! August 16, 2005

3 days of tempermental tinkering with it to get it to work and I build computers for fun so I know it is not me being an idiot. Include that the software is a huge memeory hog that can only be uninstalled if you want it turned off. Then the Logitech Webcam software wants to nag you to update when the software is using versions of all the Instant Messengering services that has been update several times since their versions yet Logitech's site says I have the most reccent version of the software (mine is from 2003). Apparently Logitech has missed the advancements made recently.
To cap the whole experience off badly the web help is simply a reprint of the exact instructions included in the box. Isn't that a online manual not help?
Don't be a cheap-ass and buy this price leader. Cough up anything needed to get any web cam but this one. Web cams are not like mice where one is just about like the rest.
As for actual performance when and if the thing will work for you check the focal distance carefully. I recently noticed that no matter what I do my face at six feet away is never quite as crisp looking as the house across the street in the background behind me. Should a web cam be more focused on the distant than in close range.
Logitech has dropped considerably in my opinion after this 3-day nightmare because I wanted to save $20!
Others have to harshly critized this WEBCAM August 8, 2005

Our's works great!!! Yes we do have some degree of the hue in the different lightening; but this is not a $100.00 webcam either. we use ours for chatting with friends & family on MSN & Yahoo Messenger. to the individual who mentioned that he could not operate his webcam on AOL; because " CAMERA WAS USED IN ANOTHER APPLICATION " message; you cant use webcams in two different applications at the same time. say you want to cam in Yahoo & MSN Messenger at the same time. You can only cam in one; and I believe this applies to ALL webcams. Mine works best at night with a lamp on next to me. We purchased ours online in a non retail packaging which is called OEM. which probably stands for Original Equipment something or other; and found that to be the best buy. It has the manual, USB, camera, stand & Software CD. One note to all potental buyers of webcams etc. ALWAYS INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FIRST, or this could impair the fuction of the unit or your PC, This most likely happened to those who have complained about their webcams here in the reviews.
Don't buy it! March 27, 2005

Just wish I read the reviews before I bought this camera. Buy it if you like to see yourself in an orange hue.
