Customer Rating:      Summary: good but as great Comment: good its works fine, but videos are not as great on messengers like any web cam on the market
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very Clear & Sharp Video Quality But... Comment: I have used 3 web cams, but this unit gives the clearest and sharpest video quality. The audio provided by this cam is clean, too. It works only with Windows, no driver for Linux. Check its dimensions before you buy so you won't be surprised. I think it's big to be used with a laptop. If you want the best picture and sound quality and don't care much about the size, then this is a good choice.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good Camera but horrible softerware ... really a nightmare Comment: Bought this camera with high expectation from a brand such as Logitech.
It has created so many bottlenecks and issues on my computer, that it is hardly worth buying. I am so pissed that I will be writing to BBB as well.
Issues are many:
1. Once installed the software takes over the hard drive.
2. They add many other garbage (unexpected and sneaky) which you have no control over whether to install or not.
3. When trying to uninstall, takes hell of a longtime. At the uncompromisingly long wait, you will find not all the information has been deleted.
4. Slows down the computer significantly. It is as though, they are punishing you for removing their software.
These are only a few to state.
NIGHTMARE ... Don't buy .... Look for alternative products and be happy.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Just too many problems for that price Comment: I know the rating looks harsh, but I've just spent $240. At that range, the product had better be darn good. This one just isn't.
For one, it's heavy and bulky... and on my laptop, it's actually making the screen go down if it's already tilted backwards... that's a bad start. Then, the angle of view is kinda weird. It's good sideways, but up and down, it seems like it's more tilted up?
The back stand... these things on the logitech webcams have been driving me crazy. At first, you think they'll be helpful and balance the camera out, but in the end, the slightest thing too close to your laptop screen, and they're falling. They're also god hard to store, which means they easily break, and then, you're out $240, because the webcam can't hook on to anything, or balance.
CPU issues... wow this thing sucks the life of my computer!! Everything slows down incredibly when I start chatting. Yeah, I want to chat, but I don't want to stop living and breathing for it!
The mic - ok so the other person can see every pimple on your forehead (angle tilted up), but they can't hear you if you step 1 foot diagonally. So your kids can wave to granny, but they won't be able to say a word she can hear until all she can see is their lips... that's just weird.
Conclusion: not the bang for the buck.
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of The Best WebCams Out There For Mac OSX Systems Lacking iSight Comment: I bought this to put on my home theater computer that's based on a Mac Mini (Core2Duo) running OS X Leopard to add iChat AV and Skype Video to our living room system. Being a USB Video Class device made using it literally plug-n-play. Be sure to consult with Google/Wikipedia for information about which versions of these Logitech QuickCams support the UVC standard before purchasing one for your Mac. I also purchased one of these for my parents to use on their WinXP desktop via Skype Video and the cross platform image quality is superb, even on a 720p HDTV.
One criticism is the use of the camera in low-light conditions. Blockiness occurs and it's hard to push the video gain w/o creating other artifacts (speckles and grains). Not a show stopper and a common issue with any webcam.
