Great net cam for the funds, the extent of my net-cam demands are for video chatting with household across the U.S. The quality from the video and mic feeds are clean and crisp. Positive their are higher resolution cams out there, but this a single doesn't appear blurry by any implies and suits my desires. The included software desires to install all the stupid Windows Reside Messenger stuff, also a incredibly valuable hotkey constructed into the leading can not be reconfiged, it just tries to open live messenger. Fantastic small cam, I also like the fact that a tiny blue led is lit whenever the cam is recording video, sound or both. Provides you a little piece of mind someone isn't watching when you don't want them to. |

-Great camera for the price tag-Does exactly what its created for-Picture is really crisp and clear-Adaptable to any place(flexi-bend holster) -Small button on leading can get annoying-Tries to install microsoft apps, bit annoying for anyone who makes use of webcam software program other than the one particular provided with webcam I purchased two of these. A single for my labtop and a single for my girlfriend while Im deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom. The webcam works wonderful, compared to the other folks I've noticed and tried, I say this is the greatest bang for the buck. I mean if I can use it in the desert with no hassles,im positive to operate a single at house should be a no-brainer |

For the money, it's a very great web cam. The LiveCam software is a quite cool feature as properly. I feel the flex stand could be a little longer to far better grip my flat screen monitor. |

This is a fantastic 1.5mp camera!I have had 1 for over a year now and performs like a charm on all four of my PCs. (Windows 7 64bit, Windows 7 Ultra 64bit, Windows XP, and a Windows 7 Home 32bit Computer) Absolutley no install problems and the top quality is superb. I agree with the guy that says chill on the packaging and go green. Such a very good camera, I just ordered a 2nd one particular just before writing this assessment. |

Functions with skype seamlessly. Clear excellent with occasional pixel-ness due to low light (and varying bandwidth). Microphone is clear.Operates truly properly with Vista; even with Xp there are no issues. Even though at first skeptical, i discovered that the stand operates nicely for clipping to a monitor. The "effects" are hokey, but perform well as well (like shear/pinch, posterization, even adding a hat or mask to your head-- that moves about with you!!)All-about fantastic excellent for the cost. It took virtually a half hour to install on my aging P4 XP machine! It took five minutes at most on my vista laptop (I am guessing vista has bundled drivers for webcams although XP does not.)Set up package in Vista is about 90mb... Good value, great integration, very good high quality. Very recommended; have had no issues right after a week of frequent use. |

Extremely great image high quality, uncomplicated to mount and set up (thanks to the flexi-bend holster). I have two of these web cams, I'm using them with Skype and Yahoo Messenger, and I'm very pleased with them. It takes some time to set up the drivers, because it downloads the latest ones from the web. |

Clear image quality, fast (enough) aperture on lens signifies decent lowlight overall performance. Fantastic built-in mic, driver software program effortless to use, really small, yet not so feather-light that the cord drags it off your monitor. I travel a lot, and that was in my thoughts when I picked this a single. It will simply mount on a thin LCD, and if you want the flexible base also permits it to stand up on a tabletop or what have you. The face recognition in the dashboard software works nicely, and I use this webcam mainly with skype, at which it excels. Wasn't free, doesn't do the dishes. If you are overwhelmed with all the selections and don't know what to buy, you won't go incorrect with this a single. I'm a pro photographer, and a bit discerning of image quality, and I have to say for a webcam this isn't poor at all. |

Excellent video top quality and stills. I've utilised 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 on the net flash applications. The default computer software does not let you set a timer on nevertheless shots. Not a deal breaker as there is in all probability other software program that can do this. I at present have four of these set up for multiple household members. All work good on numerous ranges of computers and OSs. I personally don't use the built-in mic on my system, but on the other systems it works good. |

Excellent low-light image, very flexible positioning due to its construction, really light and pretty smaller Merely does not operate with Windows 7 RC1 64-bit. My parents have this camera functioning fine with Windows 7 Home 64-bit, it works fine with Windows XP.Nonetheless, with Windows 7 RC1 it refuses to initialize. Camera is recognized by the OS, drivers claim to be installed appropriately. I updated the video drivers and tried a clean boot. Absolutely nothing changes. I guess I'll have to wait till I get a full and licensed version of Windows 7, rather of the release candidate. Disappointed I can't use it on my desktop as it at present stands, but in all other respects it is a decent webcam. |

I ordered this, and shipped it directly to my 80 year old mother. She was able to adhere to the directions effortlessly and every little thing worked nicely the 1st time. She is operating this on a Vista household system and is a quite fundamental laptop user. Functions nicely with Skype. None that I know of Hey, if my Mom can do it... |

The video is good. The microphone is weak. The initial camera I got had such a weak microphone that I required to get within 3 inches and shout to get any audio. I attempted this on 3 diverse computers, and employed 2 diverse programs to record audio, and tested with Skype.I exchanged it for an additional. This one has a somewhat much better microphone but it is still weak. I get acceptable volume if I get inside a foot of the mic, which is absurd for a video camera. I can use it from a distance of 2 feet if I speak loud. I have an additional microphone, so now I use that one with this camera. Otherwise I could invest the rest of my life returning this thing. |

The mic is worth the added price. It works perfectly. And the lack of autofocus is a plus, not a minus. Autofocus cameras are continually going all blurry although they make a decision to focus again. Fixed focus is the way to go. Could have a bit much better pivot range, and could mount a bit more securely, but it's superior sufficient. |

Excellent webcam, the picture good quality bets every single other webcam i have ever had, (besides my macBook Pro.) i only use it for skype as a mic, but extremely rarely i use it for video calls. (i use my macBook for that) The mic picks up every thing really effectively. i could be a crossed the room and speek in a typical voice and the other person can hear me just as if i was sitting at my desk. Like i mentioned, "The mic picks up every thing incredibly well." that can be a + or -. it does choose up a lot of background sounds, like when you're in a call on skype some folks can hear themselves. Other then that, i'm give the webcam a 4Ǜ just because of the looping sounds. i would give it a 5Ǜ. if it was just a little less on the background sounds. it could also be that i'm utilizing a five.1 yamaha sound program for my audio playback. lol |

Had the camera up and running in no time. Picture is good, easy to mount. My parents managed to get it up and running with minimal assistance, a testament to how easy the product is to use. |
The Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 brings a unique new design to webcams with a bendable attachment base that molds to virtually any monitor, including flat screens and notebooks, or sits directly on the desk. To complement the inventive design, this webcam provides consumers with the option to choose their favorite color from the following: Cool Blue, Lucky Green and Fire Red.
Operates good. I haven't seasoned any pixelation. The effects work properly and are actually funny(the afro with sunglasses is my favorite). Install was fast. The clip for attaching it to the monitor works really effectively. 1.3MP camera does good stills for the size. For ุ it can't get any much better than this. If you don't want/have Live Messenger it will retain trying to place that on your startup. Following saying no to the registry change four instances it finally stopped asking me. Not suprised, but a small annoying.
