 This thing is great!!! August 21, 2005

I read the other reviews & I want to know what these people want. For a $30 camera, this thing rocks! I borrowed my brothers camera so my daughter could talk to grandma. I plugged it in, downloaded the driver from the web & was video conferencing on MSN Messenger in about 2 minutes. I'd definitly buy another one!!
A basic budget Cam. Functional but not great March 30, 2005

Compatibility:
--------------
Read many reviews saying that they had compatibility issues. But mine hooked up fine on XP Home (make sure you dont connect the cam before you install the s/w - this is mentioned in the instructions).
Image quality:
--------------
Image quality is a little grainy, but for $20 its OK. Does not handle bad light well. With good light its fine. I do not use it for anything other than doing cam-chats with folks faraway. Though it came with a lot of bundled s/w, I did not install any coz i dont need it.
One surprising thing is that, with its own software i get a decent enough refresh rate and better image quality, but when using it with yahoo msngr on DSL, refresh rate is real slow and the image becomes grainy. But i guess this is not the fault of the cam since it works better with its own software.
Build quality:
--------------
Build quality is not impressive but passable, especially the legs look weak and as if they'd break if i was a little rough with them. (but if one is rough with a budget cam then one is rather stupid). Legs do a good job of holding on to my laptop screen and i had no trouble with them. Swiveling angles of the head are adequate to place it almost anywhere one might reasonably need to.
Verdict:
--------
So overall, if you have to make a choice between this webcam and no webcam, go for it. But know that this is not a performance product & you should be happy. I am.

The image quality is poor, it reloads every few seconds and it was difficult to install.

I'm not sure if this is in the instructions manual, but for those that have complaints about photo quality, here's one thing you can try- twist the blue lens cover. This changes the focus of the camera which may resolve any image quality issues. Hope it helps
USB Compatibility August 17, 2004

This is actually NOT a review & rating was given just on average. I'm just wondering if this device is compatible with a high speed USB 2. Because it says it requires USB 1.1. So, can anybody suggest me on this matter? I appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.
