Summary : Very Solid Item
Pros: The quality of the picture of the camera is very good. The camera's software and compatibility with other software is easy and straight forward. The installation was simple as well.
Cons: Attaching it to your computer is a little bit of a hassle, but once you get it where you want it, it has been fine.
Note: You need to install the software first before you ever plug the camera in or there will be problems, which is posted all over the instructions. This is only a problem for people who don't read the instructions.

Summary : Quite a nice camera
It's my first webcam and I bought it for staying in contact with my family.
Handling is quite easy but I do not like the Microsoft-Software - I use it with Skype.
Voice-transmitting is quite well but sometimes the videostream is not as I expected. But I think thats a matter of my broadband-company or something else.
Actually I was astonished about the good video on my laptop -> thumbs up!
I recommended it to my family and they bought the same :)

Summary : microsoft lifecam review
i was expecting it to be easy to use and install. For me it wasnt. But im not good with computers. It was supposed to contain a programming disk, but it didnt. You have to go to some hard to find website link. My experience wasnt good. It all depends on user savvy.

Summary : Nice camera at a good price
Bought this camera for skyping and have found that it is providing my receivers a very nice clear image and clear sound.
I found the camera very easy to install and use. One note on using it while skyping is I found I could not run the Microsoft LifeCam software at the same time (as it is set up to use Windows Live(tm) Messenger) - once the Lifecam software was shut off, I had no problem skyping. Once the camera software is installed (and then shut off), basically any time you want to use the camera for skyping just plug it in and use. Only thing I find a little "clunky" is securing it to the top of the laptop..as it doesn't actually clip on, rather rests there according to how you adjust it. This being said, once you do adjust it, it is secure, just getting it just right on top of a laptop is a bit awkward. Although this is a little awkward, I do still like the flexible stand as it provides me several options of where and how it rests.
All-in-all this is a nice camera at a good price.
