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!

Does NOT work with MAC at all.
Just so you know.It's not super clear in the description, but it is not compatible with a mac unless you are running Windows XP on the intel-chip. ... Read more

Good CAM
Overall I like the device.The sound quality is not as good as a headset, but it's clear enough for what I'm using it for (Skype).The mount is really geared to flat panels or laptops, I had to tape in down to my monitor. Other than that it's a good CAM, works well enough.

Super easy setup
I bought this webcam after first trying an older one (a different brand) I had laying around the house.The older one was difficult to install & get working properly, & required a registry edit to get the IM program to see it, & also the use of a separate microphone.I went to a local retailer (sorry Amazon, but you don't sell this one yet) to see what options were out there, & figured I'd give this one a try.Cost was a little under $60 before tax.There were others that appear to have the same or very similar specs & cost a little less, but I chose this one because I've been happy with every Logitech product I've used in the past.Setup was quick, easy, & completely painless.Installation was done in about 5 minutes & it worked flawlessly right away.I'm now going back out to buy another one to send to my son, who's out of the country.I can hardly wait until he gets it so we can talk to each other face to face. ...

Nice camera for the price.Works great on a Mac
I compared the feature sets of a number of cameras and only the Panasonic had the wireless + pan/tilt for under $300.Video quality is good with decent lighting, but expect to see "Christmas light" pixels in poor lighting.As some of the other reviewers have said, don't be fooled by the documentation that states "Windows Required".It will work fine on your Mac OS X.Here are step-by-step instructions for setting it up using a Mac (don't worry, the steps go by quickly!):
Happy until I changed routers
The camera is as advertised; the wireless and web-functionality is great; and it's compatible with WEP & MAC filtering security (802.11g).That was fine until I changed routers, and I now use WPA security ... which this camera cannot handle.So, until there is a firmware upgrade, or I decide to run wires (not likely), it's just on a shelf.

Good but not secured
This BL-C30 is very easy to set up because it has the auto-configuration.The Dynamic DNS service is very handy too.While my wife and I were away from home for a month last time, I used it to monitor my home once in a while.However, there are 2 things you may need to consider:

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.

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.

In a word: disappointing
The camera itself it not that bad. The design is ok. It's about like most typical Linksys products: ok documentation (but not great), so-so user interface but generally gets the job done. Initial setup is only mildly frustrating (the camera could not initially communicate with my Linksys router, which you'd think they might test back at the lab...) The fatal flaw with this camera is the SoloLink DDNS service. If you're not familiar with DDNS, it basically allows you to hook up the camera to your router and then assigns a domain name so that you can view the camera from any location by typing in an easy-to-remember domain name in a browser. I bought this camera to watch my house while on vacation. The service worked for about five minutes on the first day of the trip and then never worked again. Perhaps they will fix the service (is it a bandwidth issue?) but as of 9/06, it's horrible and I would stay away. On top of all that, you have to pay for this service. The box doesn't mention this, except if you read the small print where it says something like "free trial of SoloLink DDNS". You cannot use any other DDNS service...
HOW TO VIEW THE VIDEO UNDER MAC OS !!!
this is very easy, just write the camera's IP address, add /img/video.asf and thats all !! works great with VLC for Mac OS !!... example: if your camera is on192.168.1.101, then use whatever video program like quicktime, VLC, windows media...etc and open the following address: 192.168.1.101:1024/img/video.asf
Horrible quality and lacks key features, but includes so many cool ones--darn!
Without being in a well lit place (like outside) this product is practically useless if not bearly tolerable. It would not work at all in my apartment. I could bearly see even see me and that was close up. I was not pleased with the Linksys interface to boot because it didn't seem easy enough for family and friends to connect to from their browser.

poor camera.very poor software
The webcam is just like any other ordinary Logitech webcam.Nothing new or great about it.The description given by the manufacturer seems to claim that this is the best webcam in the world.Don't believe any word from the manufacturer.If you already have a webcam, don't re-invest in this.
Very Expensive and it is not worth to buy!!
I am not satisfied with this Creative Webcam Live! Motion- Titanium. I bought this even of the higher cost because I thought it should be the best. However,the authomatic sensor is junk and the headphone is broken. The tracking device is not very good because each time I moved the captured picture would blur and freeze. The pant and tilt control is a pain. Although it works well with Yahoo messenger, as a buyer, you should consider spending time reading other reviews of a procuct that you are interested. Higher price does not mean good product.

A Giant Leap Forward, A Few Steps Backward
The Creative WebCam Live! Motion takes some huge steps forward with it's wide angle lens, pan and tilt capability, remote capability, and image tracking capability.

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.
