Review Summary: terrific quality
Review: optical quality was amazing.
Made me wonder why I paid a few hundred dollars for a movie camera... oh yeah: portability and zoom lens. But if you like making movies of yourself, for example to answer questions clients ask, I can't imagine an easier set up. Presently, my webinar program limits the resolution to 320 by 240, however.

Review Summary: Very speed intensive
Review: This product has a great picture but it is very high in the CPU usage. On Skype the picture is very slow. The product literature says that you need the duel processor to get full usage.

Review Summary: Excellent with Skype!
Review: I love this webcam. Got it to use with Skype and the quality is exceptional. I did choose to turn off the RightLight option as it showed movement better without it. I tried some fingerspelling and signing and the other person could understand me perfectly. I'm not sure why some people here had problems with Skype -- perhaps it was an old version of Skype as the current version sure works well for me. I also chose to use my own microphone, and the QuickCam software recognized it automatically and used that instead of its own builtin mike. I tried it without the external mike and that worked fine too, I just like the external mike better. This is a wonderful buy!

Review Summary: Yes, it works with Linux -- HD and all.
Review: Worked with Skype the moment I plugged it into the USB port. That's under Linux (Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex), mind you -- apparently the uvcvideo driver it requires was part of the standard install as this is my first ever webcam. Now getting the HD resolutions and frame rates is more of an exercise (google for CaptureWidth/CaptureHeight and uvcdynctrl). I am currently seeing 960x720 with very decent optical quality and backlight processing but the frame rates are somewhat lagging. This may well be an issue with Skype itself or with the driver though. Overall the hardware shines but it would be nice to have a graphical utility for quick control tweaks. I won't be holding my breath for one :)

Review Summary: Pretty decent
Review: This little guy is physically built sturdy. What I mean by that is, it has heft to it. It is not flimsy. It sits on top of my Dell Flat Panel monitor just fine.
I know some are worried about motion being blurry, and it can be, I'll be honest. But so can any video in the right lighting. It is only a 2 megapixel camera, lighting is a must. The Right Light thing works, but the frame rate slows when it is in use, making motion more blurry. Just turn on another light--in front of you, and I think you'll be fine.
Others have had trouble getting it to work with Skype. I am using this camera on a Vista machine and at first Skype just displayed a screen that was blue, NOT the Blue Screen of Death, but no image, nonetheless. You need to go in to the settings tab in Skype and choose Default Video Device, and it should pick it up--do not choose the name of the camera, it doesn't work that way some how.
Overall, I'm pleased. Try to find the right price though, I paid $74 here on Amazon in Nov. '08 and got free super saver shipping. It arrived in about two business days, not counting Veteran's Day. Amazon has been very fast at shipping to the DC area recently.
