 OK Standard Webcam November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was my first webcam as I needed to communicate with friends abroad.
The webcam is really easy to set up (plug & play), and from the description works well with both Skype and MSN Messenger.
Unfortunately, the sound (mic) is terrible with MSN Messenger, my friends can barely hear me but it works OK with Skype so my friends and I ended up switching to Skype.
My friend got a Logitech webcam and it's much better (Video quality & sound)

I purchased this camera to use for telephone conversations on Skype. The picture quality is fine but the microphone is absolutely useless, you cannot hear anything at all. Because of this I had to spend more money on a microphone. Do not buy this webcam if you want to use it for more than visual purposes. If you want a cheap webcam with ok picture quality then this is the camera for you.
 good little cam October 16, 2008

Have had this cam a couple of days now I've never really used one much in the past but it is simple to set up and use, only difficulty I am finding is the mic, I have vista which I think is the problem, I can hear sound when played back from a recording but it is very faint, if mic is held close to your mouth it seems to meet the set up requirements in windows etc but then the cam will be looking down your throat when in use, I have messed around with settings in the control panel but haven't found one that fixes this as yet maybe in time I will or maybe someone will post the answer one day but I didn't get it because it had a mic I was more interested in the camera aspect itself and it did get some good reviews on here and I have to say the image is as good as I expected, have set it up to work with yahoo messenger and skype and it is crisp and sharp, also pretty good in low light too so all in all I'm pleased with this little cam, if I can sort out the sound issue with the mic that will be a bonus, I gave it 5 stars as it is more a vista problem with the mic and it wouldn't be fair to mark down the webcam because of that
Good picture, but mic pathetic September 22, 2008

I recently bought this webcam. Set-up etc. reasonably straightforward, though lead is a bit too short to allow me to connect to the mic jackplug on the pc (on the floor by the side of my desk) and place the camera on top of the monitor. But as it happens this doesn't matter, as although the picture quality is pretty good, the mic is virtually useless and I have had to resort to a seperate mic. If I hadn't owned one, I would have returned the webcam. There is also quite a delay in the synchronisation of speech and lip movement ...though I think this may be a common problem with webcams in general. I'm sure there are better all round webcams for the price. I wouldn't recommend this one unless you just want decent visuals and sound is unimportant.
the worst webcam ever September 2, 2008

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I WRITE A REVIEW-i have a acer aspire 7720G laptop and i got this webcam for my old laptop. the quality is very poor in comparison even with the integrated crystal eye acer one. i tried it in both laptops with xp and vista and its exacly the same... it remainded me the first msn webcams...i am in the process of returning it. SAVE YOURSELF FROM A SAD EVENING.
