    5 of 5 Budget Cam works great! Wednesday, March 18, 2009
    A Customer from St. Cloud, MN  

    I have enjoyed this as my first webcam. My family tells me I'm nice and clear and audio comes through fine, too. I had a hard start because I plugged it into a USB hub and that doesn't work well. Once I got it plugged into the computer directly it worked fine. I use the cam with Skype and haven't had any problems. Well worth the $25 I paid for this.

    4 of 5 Not bad at all for the price... Tuesday, March 17, 2009
    -kev from Palm Springs CA  
    ...but it is a little bit awkward to use the adjustment stand... Just not as easy as my previous low-cost cam was... The picture quality is quite a bit better than that cam had tho... It also has a pretty wide angle range... Which means I have to keep the place picked up around & behind me... lol... It was the 1/2 price that caught my eye, and for that I have no complaints...

    5 of 5 Good for Laptop but look for clip design otherwise Tuesday, March 17, 2009
    MS from Portage, MI  
    Camera works well. Design to attach to screen is not perfect for thick LCD panel. I have a 24" monitor, it does not secure itself to the monitor. Other performance wise, button at the top for windows live messanger is located such that you keep activating it even while you try to adjust the camera. I use Skype so this button is not needed for me. Works well overall. It is a basic good quality optics. Do not expect wide view -- this is not a regular camera with 6 Mega pixels -- keep your expectation at $25. Despite all the issues, we are excited with its use.

    4 of 5 Easy setup, works great. Wednesday, January 28, 2009
    ChunkyDw33b from South Jordan, UT  
    This has been a great little web cam. The setup was easy, and everything works as advertised. Works great with Skype or MSN/Live messenger. I'm sure you could get a better picture from a much more expensive camera, but for a cheap web cam I have no complaints.

    5 of 5 Keep The Family Closer Saturday, January 24, 2009
    G & J from Roswell New Mexico  
    We purchased two of these units. One for us and one for our daughter so we can see the grandchild more often. Since we are 2000 miles apart,this is a real treat. The unit is small and compact and works great

    5 of 5 Awesome field of view Thursday, January 22, 2009
    JJJ from Michigan  
    Great product! Clear, panaoramic, well lit picture. Mounting mechanism could be a little more robust to laptop movement.

    5 of 5 Great web cam and great deal Monday, January 19, 2009
    milan from NY  
    4 for performance just because a software is kind of unstable and a lack of auto focus but everything else is great. If you want a cheap web cam without HD function (like logitech 9000) this is the best deal.

    5 of 5 Excellent webcam Sunday, January 18, 2009
    Emile Borne from Tomball, TX  
    This is the first of three which I have purchased for myself, wife, and daughter (which lives 2000 miles away with our first grandbaby). We have enjoyed the fun of seeing and talking with each other. It gives us another dimension to our long distance relationship with the rest of our family. Good job!

    5 of 5 Nice for the price. Saturday, January 17, 2009
    T from Oklahoma  
    I got this for $20 and it works well. It freezes at times but otherwise is easy to use. The only thing I had a problem with was the installation. It took FOREVER.

    A Customer from Commerce, Michigan  
    Easy to install and set up. I was using it in 15 min. Good picture and sound, set up through Skype. I bought 3 of these to give to other family members to keep in contact.
