Lets not even talk about the headset that came with it; that just went in the bin straight away. The cam itself seems good enough, but the software is terrible, the installation is rude (installs all sorts of AOL and Yahoo crap without asking), and the camera is simply BAD in an indoors situation without shedloads of natural light booming in. It works fine outdoors in the summer sun, or with a spotlight over your head while being used, but bar either of these it's not a worthwhile buy, as not only does the picture suffer, but so does the framerate.
Stay away, and buy something else with your money.

This camera does the job at a keen price (£13.94 on Amazon 30Jan2007: spend another £1.02 on something else and get free delivery!)
It is low resolution (288 x 352), but what would you expect for the price which is at the "so cheap I'll try it" level. Very portable - you can easily put it in you laptop bag. Seems sensitive enough in low light conditions.
In some ways low res is an advantage, because it is less of a load on your internet connection (which in our case is 512k ADSL).
I use it with Skype on an iBook G4 - it works fine within its low res limiitation.
Before Skype video was available on a Mac, I tried it with Yahoo Messenger and iChatAV. It worked, but using this software required an extra ... Read More:
