Customer Reviews

Terrible sound and quality
I bought this webcam for my boyfriend as a Christmas present. I had decided to go ahead and purchase it because the reviews here said that it was pretty great.

Nope.
My boyfriend and I tried to video chat and the video quality is disgusting! So pixilated and choppy!! Also, anytime he'd cough or accidentally make any "loud" (actually just not really quiet) sound, the mic and sound would go CRAZY with static! Even when he wouldn't cough, it would just spontaneously stop working and go wild with static. It drives me crazy, and now I know I'll have to buy him a new, better webcam.

What a total and complete waste. I don't recommend this product to anyone.

nice
So cheap and so good. Had the camera for 2 years now and still works like the first day. Image clear

Run baby run
Steer away from this crap.

I like, no, I love all things Logitech makes, but boy did I fell for this. I paid it [...]$ to go with my new Compaq Presario (a couple of years ago), but I regret ever since why, o why, I haven't returned it to the store.
PROs: Hmmmm, let's see... Logitech-made maybe?
CONs: Abysmal performance in low-light conditions; mic shouldn't be used even if you're robbed and tortured and have direct link to the Police; the clamp is too small, I have problems fitting it to my laptop lid; too short USB cable (makes it a poor choice for desktop users);
