This web camera does what you need from a webcam…video with decent sound. It is reasonable well constructed (although mine had a rather nasty incident with a Landrover…still works though). It integrates seemlessly with Skype and Messenger which is all I need. You can make perfectly good phone calls through Skype too just by using the built in mic. Why spend more for silly features like changing your face for a fish (VX3000 I think). The mount is suitable for laptops, LCD screens and CRT monitors.

ordered this and it arrived within 2 days on free delivery. It is easy to set up and picture quality is very clear. Sound is also of good quality too. The picture can seem ‘delayed’ sometimes, but I think this is more to do with the modem and downloading other stuff at the same time. I’d recommend this if you want a good webcam, and are not familiar with other webcams on the market. Also, it works perfect with SKype, MSN and other messenger services such as AOL. I gave this 4 stars because its good, but not ‘wow – great’.

I bought this camera to replace my lousy Labtec one. Seeing the words ‘Microsoft’ in the title of this product i immediately expected good qulity, and this was totally fulfilled. It is very good quality and works well with video conferencing (MSN etc) and the way it fits onto the monitor (LCD or CRT) is so useful and avoids the unnecessary hassle of blu-tacing it to the monitor. However, the one pointless feature of the webcam is the ‘Video Call’ button. This seems to solve a prolbme invented solely by Microsoft that never normally occurs; when this button is pressed MSN is opened and your are asked to chose who to video call. Seems rather pointless to me.

One of my friend in France had it and decided to buy me one for my bday so I received this webcam as a gift (August 07) – still perfectly working of course. Then my boyfriend tried it and decided to buy the same for him and one for his mum in Australia (Feb 08). Last week, I bought one for my parents (Nov 08). So yes, definitely we are fan! Really good value for money. The image is good quality, a microphone is incorporated. Easy to use.

I bought this purely so that I could use it for Skype.Previous reviews were very helpul. It was straightforward to instal & so far has worked perfectly OK. I’m going to get another to use on my wife’s laptop. More than happy with it.
