Having already installed MS LifeCam software from my previous MS Webcam, installation was uber-simple. Plug in, it works. Doesn't get any easier than that. Picture quality if great, and the auto focus feature is cool. Now I can put something up close for someone to see and it just focuses on it, take it away and it's back on me. Very happy with this cam.

Excellent camera. Plugged it in and it just worked, HD video out of the box experience. No setup needed for Skype, it was detected! Overall a great value for the money. Bought one for my mother after having mine for a week or so.

Probably an OK device if you can install it. But if you make a mistake installing it (plug in USB too soon) with Windows XP then you might as well buy something else because it won't install. Also, installation requires install of a lot of Microsoft Live bloatware you don't need.

I bought this web cam for my PC. I got it because it claimed to have 720p resolution. I haven't tried recording with this camera, but on Skype, the resolution didn't look so great. It may have been my internet connection, but it just really didn't look like I had hoped it would. I also didn't use the mic, so I can't say much for it, but I assume it would be a pretty typical run of the mill desktop mic. Good camera for the price though, I just wanted a bit more from the picture quality.

I've tried this on a Windows 7 system at work, and the image looks excellent - it worked right out of the box, plug and chug. I don't want to repeat what others have said about its general features and functions. Suffice it to say, it's not as good as a true HD camcorder, and has a bit of trouble adjusting to changing light conditions - you wouldn't want to try and make a movie with this - but it takes pretty decent pictures, and much better video than any webcam I've ever tried. It would work very well for video chatting and webcasting, though as others have noted you may have to do some tweaking for various programs like Skype.I'm writing this for those who, like me, work primarily on Macs and are looking for a higher quality alternative to the built in iSight camera. Sure this is advertised for Windows, but there's usually a workaround for most peripheral devices like this to work on most operating systems. In this case, I've tried to find one and can't (after an extensive search, and after trying several drivers I thought might work in lieu of a driver designed for this device). I think it's a shame that manufacturers of devices like this don't just create drivers so they'll work for everyone. This is recognized by and will work on a Mac, but automatic adjustments don't function properly without the software. The autofocus is funky, and video tends to be highly overexposed. I found that I can only really use this for taking pictures or iChat or video if I turn off the light in my office, but then things look a bit grainier than they should.Recommended for Windows users (note that you need a pretty powerful machine to take full advantage of this); Mac lovers need to look elsewhere.

My son in law, who is a videographer , talked me in to buying the lifecam and signing up for skype. I am so glad he did. The time we spend visiting with each other is so precious. The quality of the pictures on the screen is so good. the sound is so clear, we can reach out and touch each other. It's the next best thing to being there. I haven't reached my family on another continent yet but I am looking forward to doing that in the very near furure.

Have really enjoyed ours, so sent them to sister and daughter and have enjoyed communicating this way--sometimes the picture is not clear or the words come after the mouth in real time; but for the most part very satisfied.

This is my first review ever for any gadgets that I've got in the pass 15 years. I don't usually write reviews and especially I am no Microsoft fan. But I am telling you this product does make me want to spread out the good side of it.I was skeptical when I first saw the camera in the local Frys store. I want to pick up a camera that will work on both Windows & OSX platform. I have the PC version of Logitech 9000 setup on my Mac mini, basic functions are support but of course the fancy part is in the Windows side since software support was there. My requirement on the Mac side is low, as long as it's a UVC camera which is support by Skype and iChat and I am good. Logitech is good but I just want to try something different.When I saw the Lifecam Cinema, it caught my eyes because of the look. It has resemblance of the Apple iSight but of course the color is different. The build is definitely no cheap quality plastic. It was made out of aluminum! Look is great but I wasn't sure if it's a UVC camera. But what the heck, in case it didn't work, I will just return it!Plug it into my OSX86 snow leopard (hackintosh), camera works right out of the box with no extra kext installed, so I can confirm it's a UVC camera. Quality under OSX is definitely acceptable, both Skype & iChat can detect and use the camera. The microphone works with no issue as well.On the Windows side, definitely no issue whatsoever, Windows 7 doesn't even require me putting the CD into the drive for the Lifecam software. It pulled from MS server automatically. Quality is great for this price and there is no way the logitech can beat this under normal light condition. But Lifecam does suffer smear under low light condition compare to Logitech 9000. For me, my webcam requirement is low compare to others but under the condition of my usage, it already provided me better than expected performance. I highly recommend this for causal user like me. Of course heavy user might still point out weakness of the camera. IMHO, $60 can't buy a whole lot these days but Lifecam definitely worth every single penny out of it.

This camera is the the best! I did a video call with my buddy and he said the video looked amazing! I've tried a few different webcams, but never seen anything that looks this good. If you install the software you get extra features (and can record at 720 High Definition!), but it works right out of the box just by plugging it in! The design on this camera is also sweet. All my friends love it.

Great image, auto focus and easy to use. There is one real shortcoming in the software/driver. It does not enable the user to switch to a mirror image mode. Consequently, viewing yourself for a photo capture, video, or even seeing your own image in Skype drives you nuts. It appears that you are moving the opposite direction. I do not understand how Microsoft could have overlooked this.

This camera looks sleek and modern and much smaller than the package picture portrays. Installation is quick and easy. Just download the current software directly from Microsoft website. You can skip the Windows Live Essentials option if you do not intend to use Windows Live video conferencing.I have a ten years old Dell Dimension XPS B1000R Desktop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel Pentium 3, 1 Gig Processor, 512 MB RAM, Nvidia Geforce Dual Graphic Card with 64 MB of Video Memory. The Camera works fine on Skype and Logitech Vid Video Conferencing programs. It does not work well on Google Video Chat: audio works but no video. On Skype and Logitech Vid you can manipulate the Camera positions directly from the software. Video quality is good even under poor lighting condition.The intriguing thing to me is that even though this Camera displays a tiny 160 X 120 Video on the Monitor I am unable to capture Video with it using the Lifecam software. Each time I try it reports error. I can capture still picture but not video and so unable to use it for video reviews on amazon or Youtube. When running off the Lifecam software the only resolution it displays is 160X120 and the camera position controls are unavailable.Please note that you are better off turning off the automatic controls especially if you tend to move a lot while chatting to minimize blurry images. The Camera stand wobbles a bit on my LCD but it would not tip over under normal conditions. Lens has no cover and so no privacy moment and may collect some dust if the camera is left mounted for extended period.

Installed fine out of the box, but on my Windows 7 Professional it would not allow me to set the resolution to anything other than the minimum. I did a quick search online and MS claims that the cam needs .Net enabled, which it is, still not good. Found a bunch more threads on issues, and to be honest I don't have the time to play with DLLs or remove other USB devices just to get a silly MS webcam to work. Sending it back.

A web cam is a web cam is a web cam, right? Well, not exactly. I've messed around with a few web cams in the past, all of which had less than stellar picture quality. Life Cam is easily the best web-cam I've used. It's actually affordable and it's in 720P-hd no less. Well, let's not jump the gun. It does do 720P but it doesn't do it to the full capabilities some would expect or want. It's a feature you'd probably find yourself not using since the resources it takes to actually run it and calibrate it are a little daunting. I'm actually willing to bet that many who bought this cam just got it as a web cam and nothing more. And it is "just a web cam" but it's a damn good one.As I said, many probably don't even know how to get the thing calibrated right to even take advantage of the higher end options the device has. And that's fine. Because at the end of the day, this is the best web cam you can buy for the price. Sub-HD. Buy it and don't regret it. If you use a webcam for shows. Talking on skype. Animating. Whatever you use it for... This will do the trick.(side note) Make sure you TURN OFF THE AUTO FOCUS... IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE A FIT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT'S BROKEN. Many people assume it's broken cause it keeps zooming in and out. It's not broken it's just got a little too high setting for the auto focus out of the box.

The Best!!A HD webcam at this price..its the best price..although I am not a tech..but I don't need to install all of the craziness for audio and video,unless your doing a TV commercial but I am not... the audio is clear and very very crisp.. I am a simple chick on a simple budget and its worth the money if u need a quick quality hd cam then act now and purchase it!!!..and its so tiny,about the size of an average size female thumb,I'm serious! this little life cam is so small I was so SURPRISED!..its so cute..this little thingy is very powerful though.You will Love,Love,Love,Love! plus the fun entertaining stuff to make your head and face look all bugged out if you know what I mean,I don't use it anyway..but its cute,and it has a flexi hanger where you can hang it just about anywhere..so that's real good,I recorded a video doing just about the craziest thing like moving fast,jumping up and down..it doesn't skip..the lifecam auto adjusts on its own, it takes about 2-3secs to do so,I have no complaints as long as its doing its job so that's cool..the software for it to me on a W7..I have no complaints..I Like the cam..I was skeptical about it because of a video review I saw but I am not trying to get that creative with a webcam if so,then I'll purchase a camcorder for all its worth.so There You Go You Shoppers! Like I said,simple to exactly what I wanted!

Microsoft LifeCam CinemaThis web cam is quite the bargain. At right around fifty dollars it really is quite good for the money. I'm running it on a Windows 7, 64 bit OS. Its software installed easily and works as expected. No issues at all for me. The included software has some "cool" features like being able to animate additions to your face. Like a mask, or playing with your facial features, like enlarging your eyes. This will keep your related children (i.e. grandkids) in stiches. I'm uploading a fully haired picture of me!The quality of the camera structure is quite good. It reminds me of the old Apple iSight webcam, except its black and says Microsoft. It mounts on just about any monitor with ease. The stand is flexible and will balance on the top of the monitor well. My monitor has a USB hub built in so my only wish was a short cable as a detachable option for such cases. That said the cable is long enough to reach most any placement of a computer. It works well with Skype or the Messenger program from Windows. This is what I tested it with; it should work with any program that recognizes a webcam. It's a great little camera! Highly recommended.

well...where do i begin othan than saying this is only the greatest web cam i have ever had. I do a lot of skyp-ing cause i have relatives in canada and this is great for that i also use yahoo messenger and msn hotmail and it works great the picture qual;ity is perfect only one problem...it takes forever to focus somethng upclose and in low light it focus's itself a lot but other than that no complains the sound quality is good for most but for me i dont care how it picks up every little noise like if i click the mouse the person on the other end can hear it. i have not used the video making feature yet but i plan on it i tried it for a couple mins and it was in good quality. One other problem is that they have an option to put like hats and silly faces on your cam screen and you can only do it through there disc you cant do it if your on skype or any other messenger program basically what the point of having it(i guess to take pictures i dont know!) as for the size of the cam it is great i thought it was going to be big and clunky like most but its not it is small and compact and it is great to take on the go (i just wish they would have made like a carrying case for it or something)but all around i am happy wih it! great product! and a good brand to buy "Microsoft"!

I'm a big Skype user and have used the QuickCam Pro 9000 for quite some time. While Skype doesn't recognize this Microsoft cam as an "HQ" cam (or at least not yet, if ever), I have found that this cam excels as compared to the QuickCam Pro 9000 in three ways:1. This cam produces much richer colors. Some may say it borderlines oversaturated or "technicolor" but I really enjoy the brilliance of the colors2. Low light conditions keep rich and bright color. I find with the QuickCam it loses contrast to brighten up the picture.3. Launch time. I find with the Quickcam Pro 9000 the "ramp up/turn on" time is undesirably long when receiving an auto answer Skype call. This cam is ready to go immediately.As far as focusing goes, both the QickCam Pro 9000 and this cam aren't great at it in dark lighting conditions.The widescreen view is a really nice change from the normal 4:3 perspective. It really helps show your surroundings more and give a better feel to where you are.Installation was easy, and the cam itself seems far smaller than I was expecting.Under some conditions Skype callers on the receiving end prefer this video over the HQ Skype capable Quickcam Pro 9000. In some cases they prefer the Quickcam.I saw that some people mentioned the high hardware requirements so I wanted to let you know what I'm using it on:Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bitCore i7 2.663 GB memoryI'm not going to outright say that this is a better webcam than the QuickCam Pro 9000 but it definitely gives it a run for it's money, and offers a few unique features that the QuickCam Pro 9000 does not, all in a smaller more attractive cam size & style.---update--After several months of use, I have found that I'm using this cam more than the Logitech Quick Cam 9000. They're both equal in stature in my mind, but this one is better at low light use. I often Skype at night when the room is comfortably dim, so this has become my preferred camera. Even though it's not listed as an HQ cam for Skype, it still provides better overall performance for the way I use it.

Ok, I admit I am picky about any camera- and web cams have a bad reputation. This one is well worth a look, particularly as MS seems to have solved the low light issues that can really make things ugly.This unit is high quality, and is far superior to the built in cam's on my Laptop,and Netbook. Simple to install and makes the Skype experience better, as well.Most web cams suffer in normal inside lighting conditions ( to a level that you need a bright light focused on you to look "normal"). This product compensates for lower light conditions very well- impressive!I also like the ease of use, right out of the box. I detest things that require lengthy downloads of drivers or software to work properly. Not a problem with this one, it works well, right out of the box.I also put this product to the acid test. Yup. The parents, in their 70's. Both have laptop's, netbooks and a desktop that they share on occasion. They are savvy, but are slow to add most any software or hardware for fear of "messing up the machine".They both had complained about poor picture quality for their existing cam's -- guess what? This one was so much better, we were in buy mode.They are happy to broadcast in HD! All, in all this is a good product, great as a gift or perhaps as an upgrade to an existing cam. Best part: Easy, Easy, Easy!

I'm the first to admit to being technically challenged so I ordered this with some trepidation in the "if something can go wrong, it will" mode.Took me a few days to get it installed properly and figure out how to use it, but now that I've mastered this (and it retrospect the installation was simple, the problems were me) here are my impressions as a techno-challenged individual:This Lifecam is intended primarily to communicate with my nana-babies. It works wonderfully in low light as well as regularly lit rooms. The picture is so clear that I can see the blue of my eldest granddaughter's eyes and it is true to color. The colors come out wonderfully. I've used the Lifecam several times to read stories to them. There is a bit of glare if the lighting isn't right, but reading board books like Elmo and his friends--the pictures are crisp and clear to the nana-babies and the colors are true to the book. There is also very little smear when the kids jump up and move to show me various treasures they have at their home. The kids are also able to see the wolfhounds who sleep on the day bed behind me in clear, crisp focus. Sound quality is also excellent!This is an excellent camera if you want to talk via a webcam. I've not gotten into some of the other uses I've seen in the other reviews posted (recording video, YouTube etc), but plan to experiment more in the future as I become more confident of my skills with this new technology (for me).
