Summary : Forget compatibility
This webcam gave me hassles from the very beginning. I kept getting BSOD (blue screen of death) on my XP laptop until I found a user forum that stated it was a known bug in the echo-canceling feature that Logitech knew about but hadn't corrected or even bothered to alert users about in the troubleshooting FAQ. Thanks to that user forum I found the workaround and so I did get a couple good years of use out of this camera. As with its other webcams there is the intrusive "Logitech Desktop Manager" constantly running in the background that is supposed to download updates (which are few and far between). Still I was more or less satisfied with this cam after those first ugly three months of system crashes.
I became a totally dissatisfied Logitech customer when I bought a new laptop, a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Not only is Logitech not offering new software, forcing me to buy a new cam when my current expensive one still works, Logitech actually deleted drivers out of their support database that some power users had been using as a workaround for the lack of x64 Windows 7 support for the Orbit MP. That's worse than contempt for your customers; that's downright cold.
I will never buy any Logitech product ever again. No company that has such contempt for its customers deserves my money.

Summary : Nice product, fun to use.
Product performs well but would like to have focus capability. Doesn't need to be autofocus, a manual control would be fine.

Summary : Great webcam
Had some difficulty installing the software on Windows Vista x64, but with the help of Logitech got it going (turns out it takes a LONG time to load the software - don't interrupt the installation). Love the motorized pan and tilt!!

Summary : Mediocre image quality
I bought this camera for the mechanical pan/tilt feature, and I was quite happy with how that works. However, I was very disappointed with the image quality. It is significantly worse than my Logitech pro 3000 that I bought years ago. I'm guessing that if I would have paid the extra bucks to get the newer orbit AF (2 megapixel vs 1.3 megapixel of the MP) the image quality would have been what I've come to expect from Logitech. But I went with the cheaper option and am left with a very disappointing product.

It's pretty decent product but I am not impressed. Mine worked fine for sometime but the leverage USB stick died after a year so I am using it without the stick. Bummer :-(
