Summary: A Win98 Camera, So Far
Review: Earlier this year, I purchased this camera for a Win98 machine, and was very pleased. I had it up and running in five minutes, and for the price, the clarity and performance under less-than-optimal lighting conditions were remarkable. The bundled software was a good value, too. So then (the plot thickens) I bought it for a Win2K machine, not realizing the camera, in August of 2001, wasn't Win2K-ready. The website provided Win2K drivers which allowed the camera to work (I tested it with Netmeeting and a demo version of Webcam32), but the performance was greatly disappointing. The camera flickered like a dying monitor, and the focus was muddy. I reluctantly returned the camera (feeling at loose ends due to the negative reviews on Amazon of nearly every other webcam except the discontinued 3Com!).The Intel website notes that the software package for Win2k will be available on Sept 17. I liked this camera so much on the Win98 machine that if the software really does become available, I might buy it again from a company with a respectable return policy (like Amazon), and hope that the flickering was truly a mechanical problem and not a permanent Win2K conflict. I may also look for an updated video-card driver, just in case an old driver compounded the performance issue. Conclusion? If you have Windows 98, go for it. Excellent quality for the price, and a no-brainer to set up. If you have Windows 2000 and you're interested in this camera, wait til Intel delivers on producing its software bundle for the Win2k platform, then buy it from a place that has a consumer-friendly return policy.

Summary: A good camera
Review: For the price the unit is very good. Set up is very easy, although there are a lot of superfluous extras in the software package. Resolution is decent considering the price.

Summary: Intel PC Camera Deluxe
Review: I am extremley pleased with my intel deluxe pc camera, afew months ago, i had the option of the intel deluxe or a cheaper alternative, i ended up buying the logitech quickcam express ($30) and i was extremley dissapionted with this, as it only came with afew basic programs and the pictures on the box were nothing to do with the camera and the picture quality was so poor it was difficult to make out what the image was and the camera offered little support to low light situations. I thought that mabe it was just my camera but internet reviews show that other buyers were just as dissapointed with there identical cameras. After 5 months i decided to buy a more expensive camera (Intel Deluxe) for $59 (curcuit city) and i was extremley impressed with everything about it, the picture quality is like looking into a mirror and it came with more software than you could shake a stick at!, I set the camera up in under 3 minutes and i was having online video confrencing using 'Netmeeting'(included)in 10 minutes. This camera is deffinatley good value for money and an excellent camera. The only slight drawback is that it was not compatible with windows 2000, so to overcome this problem i downloaded the win2000 drivers from the intel site but currently there is no way to get the included software to work with win2000 but it is shortly expected but i used the camera on my win98 pc and it worked perfectly!

Summary: Awesome starter cam...
Review: I bought this camera in 2001 when it was $70 and it has not failed me yet. It's very small (fits in your palm) and has a detachable stand which you can stick to a table or on top of your computer. You can record short movies with sound. The software is awesome and I have yet to try out the post card feature among other things (no image editing). The only down side is it is not portable and once in a while, the color is "off" depending on the lighting. Definitely worth the price!!

Summary: Very good camera for its price - just buy it
Review: I got this camera after doing lots of research on Webcams and I am delighted that I made the right choice. I installed it on my Window Me laptop, it was a breeze. Absolutely easy to use and picture quality is excellent. The only thing I wish it had was a small plastic clamp to fix it easily to the top of my laptop screen, I would have rated it 5. For the money I paid , its worth it.

Review: i have been in contact with the seller ( amazonassociates @store wow.com )and they have no record of this purchase. I spent days on the net and the phone and they don't know anything about me or the order. I received the camera from Seattle and not from Florida. I have since returned the item to the address on the tracking # and I really don't know if the seller listed on the tracking # will give me the credit for the camera's return

Summary: Windows 2000 Support
Review: I just bought this camera (Feb 2002) and the software that came with it did not support Windows 2000. How sad on Intel's part.. you have to go to the Intel site, find the Win 2000 driver, etc. Bad news.

Summary: Crystal Clear Pictures
Review: I just purchased the Intel Delux PC Cam from this site and I was very excited about it. I have a boyfriend and a best friend who live out of state, so I thought this camera would be a good thing while talking to them on the computer. At first I was a little distraught to find out that the CD did not come Windows2000 compatiable. Since the CD didn't work on my computer, all I had to do was go to the Intel site and download the program for free... no big deal. The only complaint I had was that it took FOREVER for me to be able to connect to the site to download it, and it took about an hour to download. But once it did, it was relatively easy with the step-by-step installation process. It was easy to understand how to work the programs when I got it started. Talking on netmeeting is only as good as the price you pay for it, but I must say the pictures in the snapshot section come out crystal clear! They are very amazing snapshots along with clear videos. I definitely reccomend this product to someone who doens't want to pay too much for a camera, but doens't want to get anything too cheaply made.
