Summary: Very Impressed
Review: For the price, this camera is great! Image quality is nothing to brag about, but the price is! Plus, the camera has a versitle base and is very tiny, fitting almost anywhere. Bought 2 for home networking video conferencing, and very pleased.

Summary: Really good deal!
Review: I am really impressed with this little thing! I bought it and wasn't expecting much because of the price but it is really good deal!
You won't get the best picture quality ever but it is more than enough if you just want have video conferences or talk and see your family.
I strongly recommend it!

Summary: We're just not compatible......
Review: I never could get the thing to work properly, and I don't believe that a Hollywood lighting crew would have helped. The hardware is fairly simple, maybe too simple. Focus adjustment is manual and tedious. The camera sits on a tiny base, and it's so light that you'll need to weight down the power cord to get the thing to stay put. The software has a dozen options for color, brightness, gain, and if you can figure it out, you're smarter than the people who wrote the directions. The major deal breaker was that I couldn't get Windows 98 to load if the camera was plugged in. I don't know what caused that, but every time I shut down the computer, I had to remember to pull the USB cord out, and you know what a pain that can be. I bought this camera because of the price, and I guess I've proven to myself, once again, that you get what you pay for.....

Summary: Really good deal!
Review: I usually don't reveiw products but I felt badly that the Labtec Webcam was getting such a bad rap. In fairness, the negative points first:
-yes, you do practically have to weight it down as it's so light that it doesnt seem to want to aim where you want it to without a fight (the manual focus is tedious at best).
-Labtec's technical support is absolutely dreadful, I had better luck trying everything on my own. (Took me about a half an hour to get it to run properly)
-The picture quality is average at best, I only use mine for netmeeting, I wouldnt recommend hoping to take any print quality photos with it.
That being said, it's a fifteen dollar webcam, and as long as you only plan on using it for visual communication online or meduim quality photo/video, it's an amazing bargin. If you want high quality and are willing to shell out over a hundred dollars, more power to you. I, however, am quite satisfied with the functional and economical version. I've been running mine for months and haven't had a problem yet, I'm completely satisfied.

Summary: Not a very good investment!
Review: I wonder why did they even make this webcam. I think they used all the left over parts from the other webcams (logitech own labtec) to make this one! The image quality is awful, there is no software included (they ship MSN as their video conference software), the camera is so light that it barely stands up! The only thing I liked about the camera was the price (obviously the reason I bought it) and that little plastic stand that it comes with. I think I am going to use the stand for my other camera once I get rid of this one! If you really want a webcam, shell out another 20-30 bucks and get something else. Otherwise just take pictures with a normal camera and mail them to the person.

Summary: Good, but not the best
Review: i've used this a little on the mac... quality wise, it isn't that great. I get better quality on the camera on my cell phone. i can't get more than five frames a second, even though the box says 30. the web cam is really lite, so i'm gonna secure it with string... or tape soon... if you need a webcam and are hurting on money, i recomend this item. but if you have the money, get a firewire camera... or something usb2.0

Summary: I could've had a pizza instead
Review: Instead of buying and installing this webcam, I would've had a poor-quality pizza followed by a few drinks in a pub I don't like and a ride home in a dodgy taxi.It took me a couple of hours to get it all working, and I feel a bit more confident about what webcams are about. This is my first webcam, and I only bought it because it was the cheapest. My policy is to get the cheapest of anything so that I understand it, then throw it away and get something better. This webcam really is pretty bad, but then again I haven't lost much money. I'll look for something better next weekend.

Summary: Works for me..
Review: It's lightweight and was inexpensive.. I even got it on rebate, so it was rock-bottom. OK, the image quality may not be fantastic, but hey, the quality of the internet chatters who sometimes see me tends to be worse. Balance it out and say..hey..
It does it's job. I'm grateful.
