Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 Sharp Video Web Cam - Red

Cons: It takes some time to install the drivers, because it downloads the latest ones from the web.

Pros: Very good picture quality, easy to mount and install (thanks to the flexi-bend holster). I have 2 of these web cams, I'm using them with Skype and Yahoo Messenger, and I'm very pleased with them.

Cons: Wasn't free, doesn't do the dishes.

Pros: Clear image quality, fast (enough) aperture on lens means decent lowlight performance. Great built-in mic, driver software easy to use, very small, yet not so feather-light that the cord drags it off your monitor. I travel a lot, and that was in my mind when I picked this one. It will easily mount on a thin LCD, and if you want the flexible base also allows it to stand up on a tabletop or what have you. The face recognition in the dashboard software works well, and I use this webcam mostly with skype, at which it excels.

Cons: Like i said, "The mic picks up everything very well." that can be a + or -. it does pick up a lot of background sounds, like when you're in a call on skype some people can hear themselves.

Pros: Great webcam, the picture quality bets every other webcam i have ever had, (besides my macBook Pro.) i only use it for skype as a mic, but very rarely i use it for video calls. (i use my macBook for that) The mic picks up everything very well. i could be a crossed the room and speek in a normal voice and the other person can hear me just as if i was sitting at my desk.

Cons: -Little button on top can get annoying-Tries to install microsoft apps, bit annoying for anyone who uses webcam software other than the one given with webcam

Pros: -Great camera for the price-Does exactly what its made for-Picture is really crisp and clear-Adaptable to any location(flexi-bend holster)

Cons: none

Pros: Good for price, Works perfectly :D

Cons: The default software does not let you set a timer on still shots. Not a deal breaker as there is probably other software that can do this.

Pros: Great video quality and stills. I've used this cam on computers with 32-bit XP, 64-bit XP, 32-bit Vista, and 64-bit Vista. It works with both Skype, Gchat (Gmail), and online flash applications.

Cons: If you don't want/have Live Messenger it will keep trying to put that on your startup. After saying no to the registry change four times it finally stopped asking me. Not suprised, but a little annoying.

Pros: Works great. I haven't experienced any pixelation. The effects work well and are really funny(the afro with sunglasses is my favorite). Install was quick. The clip for attaching it to the monitor works very well. 1.3MP camera does great stills for the size. For $40 it can't get any better than this.

Cons: It took nearly a half hour to install on my aging P4 XP machine! It took 5 minutes at most on my vista laptop (I am guessing vista has bundled drivers for webcams while XP does not.)Install package in Vista is around 90mb...

Pros: Works with skype seamlessly. Clear quality with occasional pixel-ness due to low light (and varying bandwidth). Microphone is clear.Works really well with Vista; even with Xp there are no problems. While at first skeptical, i found that the stand works well for clipping to a monitor. The "effects" are hokey, but work well too (like shear/pinch, posterization, even adding a hat or mask to your head-- that moves around with you!!)All-around good quality for the price.
