Amazing Quality
I just upgraded my webcam (logitech 5 yrs old) to this, the difference is day and night, quality is very good; Even during the night time the quality is much better than my day time logitech (5 yrs old) webcam. I am a very satistified customers, would recommend to anyone....

It's a webcam!
I think this little guy is great for what he is supposed to be: a webcam!Doesn't take fabulous pictures, doesn't have the most stunning resolution, and the sound via the microphone attachment is less than adequate.However, it does provide a decent realtime image for online chatting or web video conferencing.

I'm not returning this.
At first when I received this webcam I was a little disappointed. It seemed a bit blurry and I wasn't sure why. After adjusting the lens a little bit I could finally see everything clearly.
This is quite nice
The quality is good and conveniently fits laptops of various thichness screen sizes

It all depends on your computer and the parameters chosen
For those who blamed it for blurred or jumpy motion - make sure you have a high-end computer and a USB 2 port for this webcam. I used it on my T60 and it worked great: true 30fps, as clear as what you see in movies. The color quality has room for improvement, but for this price, I will not ask more. For lighting issues, fine tune all the parameters and usually after a few minutes of trying you can get good results under both incandescent or fluorescent lights. ... Read more

images heavily out of focus despite adjustment - returning
Just got this camera in the mail as a birthday present. Installing the software was easy, but unfortunately the camera is essentially broken. It is only (somewhat) in-focus for items about 1 inch away. Adjusting the focus ring doesn't help, so this camera's build seems to be defective. My brother bought the same camera and it doesn't seem to have the same problem. Anyway, returning mine.

Great Cam, and its not expensive!
I saw the other reviews and was hoping I would have the same experience as the happy reviewers. Well, I got the cam and it was easy to install like they say. It just takes a little tinkering, with the PC options before you use it. With the mic and software it comes with, you get a lot for your money! If I bought a cam in the store, I would have been mad to lose out on this PC camera. It is SWEET!

good camera..... serves it's purpose
Works fine....pictures are a bit grainy. Better if there is light behind the camera. I can hear and see the person I am talking to and so can they.
If it worked, it would be great....
I thought that the camera (while working) is really good. I was very impressed with the images and the way that it sat nicely on the top of my laptop. There's no need for a headset when talking to friends and family, as you can play their voice over the computer speakers and the built in microphone picks up your own voice effortlessly.
Can I give it zero stars?
There is something nasty about the driver for this camera.On 2 different machines, the driver for this camera creates faults at shutdown--something about not releasing control and being forced to quit by Windows XP.Install at your own peril.NOT recommended. ... Read more

awesome resolution
i have a notebook webcam from creative. i love it because it's so small that it fits on top of the screen and the resolution is very good. but this new product is better in terms of resolution. awesome quality with respect to a webcam. it has got the advantage that it can be used both with desktop and laptop (mine only fits with a laptop). if you have both types of computer, buy this one. creative deserves credit. i paid amazon $25.54 (which included S&H).

Works great for what I need
I bought this camera to monitor my dog's actions when I'm at work.I don't need the picture quality to be great, as long as I can see what she's doing, so that was not important to me.The best part about this webcam is the software that came with it.It has various modes... the one I was most interested in was the motion detection mode that will send an email to alert you and also broadcast a video over Yahoo Messenger.Only problem with that is I can't use Yahoo Messenger at work, so I set it up instead for the remote monitoring mode which sends still pictures to an FTP site every 10 seconds (or whatever time interval you set it for).For some reason, this triggers some Trojan horse alert in Norton Anitvirus, and when this happens, it stops updating the web image.I haven't figured out what to do about that yet or why it's happening. But it seems to right itself after a couple seconds or a minute.
Value for money
Its a nice cam, you probably wont expect anything more than this for this much money. The quality sometimes depends on the internet speed. Didn't try the photo feature.

ok camera
With some tweaking and light control, I can get an OK image out of this camera--nothing great, but clear enough for my occasional use.
Terribly disappointing
I have put my comment in title itself - Terribly disappointing.

It works with Mac OS 10.4.6
It works with OS10.4.6 without buying anything else, although you need install an attached driver in your computer. To the best of my knowledge, this is the most reasonable webcam for Mac users. The design of the webcam and the image quality are not that great, but I find it satisfactory to show your family/friends how well you look.

Best Option for OS X 10.4
You only have two choices if you're running OS X 10.4.You can get the Isight for $150.00 or you can get the Macally Icecam for about $30.00.
Great for the price!
I use this with Yahoo Messenger and my Powerbook. The video quality is far from perfect, and its a little annoying that you have to buy extra software to use the camera with iChat, but I don't really need to do professional video conferencing or anything like that, so it gets the job done for me.

good
the web cam is very good but the head set is not good at all. there is no control over the sound and cant hear properly. that is only the draw back. i dont know about the pictures taken from it as i only use the web cam for chatting purpose.

Good value
For a cheaper cam this does the job!I found the image quality was very good.Only complaint is when it is darker.There is a low light boost but unless you have on some background lighting, it is too dark.

worked fine for me
I had no problems getting the camera to work properly, even if the software installation was not quite as bugfree as I would have expected.
Works, but you will not receive a penny from Creative
The camera works. Most of those complaining probably didn't touch the focus dial.. you have to adjust it manually. The quality beats any Logitech in my opinion.

worst customer support I have ever seen
I had DCS-900W from the same product line. It craped out after 9 months, and now I am on the fifth call to try to resolve the issue and get it shipped back. I don't know where their support is located, but the line quality is very bad, they ran the same drill over and over, but just don't want to issue you an order for you to ship back.
Don't waste your money or sanity
This is the 3rd and 4th D-Link product I have bought.Not one of them work properly. Media Centre took 8 hours to set up wirelessly and still requires manual reconfiguring, D-Link Wireless USB requires constant re-setting. Just received 2 x DCS900W Internet Cameras. First one set up reasonable easilly . The second one I have spent an entire 8 hours on, and still the D-Link setup software will not even recognise the hardware. Whatever you do - don't buy this product - or if you insist on wasting your money, make sure you have a hammer to smash it with after wasting days in futile efforts to set them up.

Reliability and poor documentation are problems
I have three D-Link cameras - two DCS-900W and one DCS-950. All three required firmware updates, all three came with obsolete viewing software, two have had to go back for repairs (one 900W and one 950) --- and they're giving me problems again. Unfortunately, they're 200 miles from here, and I can't easily get to them, so reliability is an issue with me.

Acceptable quality for reasonable price
The best part of this buddycam 2-pack is its price: for the price of one top ranked web cam, you get two web cams by buying this product. The microphone is excellent to capture the voice, but the quality of video is not even close to high quality (although it is satisfactory). That says, I am still satisfied with this purchase because of its affordability.

HATE IT
Overpriced!This thing only works when it wants too and I am sick of it!Stay away.I will never buy another webcam from Logitech.

Whats the deal people??
I do not understand why people are making such a racket about this camera. i have it for almost 6 months now, used it few times and didnt see any problems. works flawlessly with my Win XP dell. i have a bad habit of reinstalling my windows every now and then, i guess i am never satisfied with the OS but whenever i reinstall this webcam, it gets connected without any problem. as far as the camera movement is concerned, for under 150 bucks, if you are expecting a robotic smooth movement then you are living in lala land. i mean comeon guys. how many companies you see out in the market that have cameras that moves mechanically, rather than with software, and cost less than 150 buck? i bet none. i will give it 5 stars because i think this is the best upgrade you can get over 4500 pro series for under 150. well i paid a little under 100 but still worth it. very nice interface and very crisp picture quality. Good job logitech.

MsLyne
Gregkaleta's review was silly! He says he's a seasoned pc user,but read on and you see he isn't! Norton? Good lord man,come out of the stone age and get a real antivirus and I might believe you know what you're talking about. It works and does what it says it will,period. It's a Logitech,themost easy set up pc devices known to date. If anyone has troubles I suspect operator error,and they should promptly call in their children,nephews or nieces or neighborhood kids to install it for them. Buy it! ... Read more

Great Camera, does everything I expected
A great web camera for the price.Plug in the ethernet and power cable, and you are nearly ready to go.Note that you will have to plug in the ethernet cable for initial setup, even if you are planning on using wireless.You can access the camera directly, it has its own built in webserver.This allows any program that can use HTTP to work with it.Very handy if you want to use a program to upload shots from the camera to your website at regular intervals. No propritary software needed to get images, view everything from HTTP or a browser.

Good Camera for a Mac Security System
I just purchased this camera to set up with a Mac security system. The camera set-up requires a PC so if you are using a Mac you still need a PC to set up the camera. Once the camera was set up I used my mac software to add it to my security network and the camera works fine. Image quality and movie recording using this camera is good. I have not been able to get the wireless to work with the Mac system, but direct connection to the ethernet works fine.

Great product
This is a great product. I would rate this 5 stars if the setup was easy. I have this for over a month now and no problems with it. I use this to monitor my baby while working and so far it works fine.
