Summary: Best camera under $100
Review: I purchased this camera a couple weeks ago and I love it. I have a Pentium III 650 mhz and 128 mb of ram so this thing has great picture quality and very good frame rate. I had no problems installing the software in Windows 98. The Camera Pack come with an extra video phone software disk that you can send to friends and family. I have owned other cameras in the past and none of them compare to this one. If you have never bought a pc cam before and you have a decent Pentium processor this is the cam to get.

Summary: easy to install, good picture quality, update your drivers!
Review: i use this camera on win98 exclusively. you can't install it on an NT or win2000 machine (the software won't install, nor will the updated drivers); on win98, very easy to get working. you can use it with any popular videoconferencing program that you like. the included software is nice to organize photo albums or make video movies. you can also use software to create web pages, and even a web cam (download the new software from intel.com); the focus wheel is on top of the camera, which makes focusing hard if you aren't right next to it....the lens cover is nice if you want to close it and protect the lens. the base is pretty stable, and comes with a bit of sticky tape so you can firmly mount it. if you don't use the sticky tape, i recommend velcro for easy mobility to different angles, otherwise the weight of the usb cable will cause it to tip a bit if it's not firmly seated. there are two lense settings for indoor and outdoor, but i've never used the outdoor option. (it's really a setting for light balance); update your drivers from intel.com and you get the pan and zoom features, as well as fixes to some of the hue and colour balance options.

Summary: O/S for PC Camera
Review: Just a note - the software is not compatible with NT, only Win '95b or Win '98. Otherwise, picture quality is great, waiting for another family member to install to test sound.

Summary: Compatibility problems with HP 8580C computers
Review: Picture quality is very good. But I have had compatibility problems with my new HP 8580C computer (purchased 8-99). When you go into program for the 1st time the computer freezes up after entering the configuration wizard, user info screen. Intel told me to download Rip2141 from Riptide. I did that and got past the config. wizard, but lost the ability to play any midi file. I was the told to download har105 and was able then to play midi files, but could not get past the video size test in the configuration wizard. Intel worked with me and also HP worked with me but each ended up blaming the other and my Intel program still doesn't work. Camera works with MS Net Meeting though.

Summary: So So
Review: The camera has good picture quality but causes a lot of problems. We only use it as a still camera and are unable to talk to family using it. The picture becomes fuzzy and we loose sound. It also caused our computer to crash. I would reccomend looking for another digital camera if you want to talk to see your family and friends because this one is just so-so.

Summary: Intel Camera Only Runs With 95/98 No 2000 Drivers
Review: The Camera Runs GREAT on my Win98se machine. But dont try to run it on a Win2000 Machine, according to Intel Support, there are no supported or beta drivers. Intel's software wont even load on a 2000. Stay away if your running Win2K

Summary: Excellent quality, ease of use, affordability...
Review: This is an excellent buy for the first time user. I bought this for my parents to use who have very little technological prowess and they love it. The USB connection and simplied instruction booklet make for unintimidating ease of use - an important factor when buying for older family members. The picture quality is great for the price.
