Excellent piece of kit October 13, 2008

Firstly service from Amazon was excellent.
Having read a few reviews of this item took the advice of installing the latest software version from the Logitech website rather than use the enclosed CD. Once software installed plugged in camera when instructed and waited a few minutes. As previously advised by other reviewers this does take a few minutes but just be patient. After this followed link to install Skype and was up and running in minutes. Camera and microphone quality both excellent. Relatives in New Zealand could even tell the colour of my baby son's eyes.
Only negatives stand needs more base weight (will probably put some Playdough to sort this out) and clip for top of laptop pretty poor.
 Works easily with Linux September 12, 2008

The quality of this camera is great, and has been reviewed by others, but thought I'd add a comment to mention that it works - out of the box - with Ubuntu. No driver installation required, just plug it in and use it. Tested with Skype, X-lite and other video conferencing software.
I agree that installing the drivers on windows is a bit of a pain, but that's windows fault not the camera's, and Logitech go to great lengths to help you install it properly on Windows, so don't worry about it, just follow the instructions.
Would definitely recommend this camera, and all Logitech QuickCam Pro cameras for professional quality.
High quality, compact size and fascinating features in a elegantly designed webcam. July 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As I always trusted logitech products beacuse of their thorough research and testing phases. This product has exceeded my expectations. I think it is the best notebook webcam out in the market.Great product in relation to monetary value paid for it. Below is some of my well thought and accumulated perceptions of the product that may help you make good buying decision:
Image and video quality: Best in the market especially if you are on the move.
Installation: 5 minutes with simple steps.
Size: Very small size designed specifically to move with special sponge carrying bag.
Features: High quality, ulra automatic adjustment feature would make it an ample webcam in any lighting environment (sunny, dark, cloudy, in room etc.).
Good luck and I take an opportunity to recommend this webcam to individuals who value innovation, quality and value based satisfaction.
Very Nice.... June 20, 2008

I got this to use with my Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook and it works very well.
However the first thing I noticed that it DOES NOT come with the carry case as shown. Just the stand.
The installation: Very easy. Maybe because I already had some Logitech camera software on this notebook. I just plugged in the camera, opened the software, it gave me a link to the support site where I chose what model of camera I had and what operating system was on my notebook, download, install, done! Works very well with Vista.
Picture quality: Very good, very clear. The lens has a very wide angle, almost like wall-eye. So even if you have it clipped to the top of your notebook you don't look like you are that close to the camera.
Sound quality: I have been told by people who I call that sound is really great! Miles better than my last cam, a million miles better than my notebook mic. So sound gets five stars.
Features: Very funny, very amusing. The masks are really cool, so are the filters. You'll have fun with them.
Bad points: As mentioned above there is no case! The stand it comes with is flimsy and don't have enough weight at the bottom so its easy to topple over.
So to sum up: Looks great, has great picture, amazing sound, super features. A good buy.
5 STARS * * * * *
 Overpriced and useles April 16, 2008
6 out of 12 found this review helpful
This web cam is over-priced. Similarly specified cams are available at less than a third of its price and the Amazon price is one-third higher than other online stores.
The focussing ring on the cam is fiddly and useless. After only a month the one on my cam stopped functioning altogether.
I have replaced this disaster with a more robust, cheaper cam bought locally.
