Summary: Not Compatible With Windows 98 "VIAVT83C572/VT82C586" USB
Review: 1.)Logitech QuickCam Express is not compatible with Windows 98 "VIAVT83C572/VT82C586 PCI USB Universal Host Controller." There is no Windows update available. The company knows there is a problem but, they do not let the customer in on this tid-bit. And 2.) The old 7.2 disc version is being shipped: I was directed to visit a website in which I had to download the newest version 7.3 plus other time consuming downloads. I did not let the Logitech support people off of the hook. 3.)I complained mightily. Finally a tech support person, out of dispair, on the fourth day advised me that the camera itself was probably defective and that I should just return it.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I bought 4 of these at target for my family and girlfriend. I wasnt looking to spend to much which I definately did not do. I was excited to get home and try them out before I gave them out. Well the first thing I noticed (which I should have seen in the store, stupid me) was that they dont have a microphone on them which just complicates things. I personally did not think the picture was too bad, although I have nothing to compare it too. It did seem to be dark but I think with adequate lighting behind the camera (ambient lighting) it does fine for people just trying to chat online. However if you are trying to make some sort of great video with it, I would suggest a digital camcorder. Now the software. It was very simple to install, and took very little time. However I could not get it to work with AIM - AOL instant messenger, I still dont know why, I kept getting an error message that said the camera was being used by another application. Im sure that was all my fault. But I wasnt willing to work and figure out the problem when they didnt even have a microphone. I did not think the snap shot quality was as good as the video which I would expect to be better. Finally it is hard to get the camera set up so it stays on your face. You would have to set it on some books or something. Ultimately I took them back the next day, and ordered some Creative cams. Hopefully they will work better. Good Luck

Summary: It does not live up to Logitech brand name
Review: I bought this webcam yesterday and its performance is way below expectations. The camera performs pathetically in low light. The pictures were grainy and video capture is equally bad.

This camera is not worth its money.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Basic webcam
Review: I have owned / used this item for 1 year. The price is great - and it works very well for online messaging & chatting. Downside - focus is sometimes fuzzy, the base doesn't hold the cam well on top of my computer - i have to set it on a flat surface. Also, its not good for snapshots - only for online viewing. Sometimes the tint is a little green. But overall, for the price, it works well for a basic webcam.

Summary: Its Pretty Good

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yeesh. Take this camera -- please.
Review: I like the color orange. I like it a lot. I also like red. It's just that, crazy me, I don't like every image that I take with this cam to be red and orage. I like dots, too, but I don't like my pictures to look like a collection of orange and red wads of gum stuck to a wall. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to get a camera that's rated better than this one. I am returning it. Oh, plus the software that comes with it is a joke. Feh.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not worth the retail price.
Review: I purchased this camera on sale with rebates and paid much less than retail. The camera operates fine for me but the quality of the picture is not very good. If you have bright lighting it works fine although it is tough to get it to look focused unless what you are capturing is very close to the camera. The software that comes with it allows you to take snapshots and video clips. It provides software to broadcast your webcame to the world but you will need to eventually pay for a spotlife account and this is the only option given by the software. If you are buying this to just let the kids mess around and make little video clips or just for instant messenger duty it will work fine. Just don't purchase for the retail price! FIY - I have mine hooked to a HP N5495 PIII 1.06 GHZ 512 MB Win XP Home laptop. For the price I paid I'm satisfied with the results of this average beginner webcam.
