I purchased this after buying a desktop computer and realizing that now I could not skype and video chat with friends. This camera is easy to set up and with the included mount attaches easily to your monitor. It has a quality picture and quality sound. I have not received any complaints from friends when using it and so far have not experienced any problems!

Ok, this is a really tiny camera. I think it was the barrel-shape of the glass lens mounted on the base but I pictured this thing as huge. It's not. It's petite. It feels nice as well. It feels well engineered, not cheap. It also has a nice little feat of engineering on the USB cable - OMG! a cable tie that actually works! I immediately noticed the construction quality of the webcam was top-notch. The top of the webcam contains the microphone as well as a small button that opens Windows Live Messenger.It seems like Microsoft put some thought into the design of the LifeCam Cinema. The rubberized, flexible base that attaches the LifeCam to displays and notebooks works extremely well, and the adjustable angles that the lens can accommodate make the camera very easy to position.features and audio/video qualityI started testing the webcam by simply taking still shots, videos, and audio-only samples. We were consistently impressed with the audio and video quality of the LifeCam Cinema. Audio was consistently crisp during a variety of recording tests ranging from music, TV, to spoken voice. To test image quality we took a still shot of some our audio and video collection in the office. In an unusual twist, still image quality paled in comparison to the full-motion video quality, which of course occurs at 30 frames per second in 720p resolution; there were noticeable compression artifacts in individual captured frames where full video hid most of the flaws.software and user experienceInstallation and setup of the LifeCam Cinema was simple. After installing the CD and plugging the webcam in, we were ready to go. The software is very minimalist and extremely easy to use. In a rare move from Microsoft, users are greeted with a pleasant user interface that is surprisingly bloat-free. We found that the special effects and features worked well, too. Whether users want to add a hat to someone's head or make them look like they're in front of a fun-house mirror, the software has the support for it.There are only three main functions to the software and they simply let users record still shots, audio, and video. Once a clip is saved it appears in a timeline below where it can be deleted or exported to an editing program or to e-mail. The settings menu allows users to change resolutions and color and focus settings, but we found setting adjustments to be unneeded. The autofocus works as promised on the LifeCam Cinema, and the lag time between refocuses is very small.A word on operating system support: officially, the LifeCam Cinema is meant for Windows and will only see its full feature set there. However, as a generic USB video device it should also work on Macs.It's clear that the contrast of the Cinema HD is far superior and oddly, it's just clearer. This camera is fantastic in low light. You really need a fast machine at the higher resolutions, like true 720p HD. This is to be expected, but if you're doing to record 1280x720p you're going to need a multi-core machine (basically a machine that's newer than 3 years old). That doesn't make the camera useless for regular video calls, but it is something to think about if you're getting this primarily for its HD abilities. That said, it's still fantastic at 480p and my laptop handles it fine. I suspect that this camera will just get better as software comes out to really utilize its abilities.It's hard to dispute the LifeCam Cinema as a great webcam offering from Microsoft, at least in its intended video role, the company has combined excellent moving image quality with a well-designed hardware concept; the only caveat is photo quality, which thankfully isn't the focus of these products. At its price, we would consider this webcam to be a bargain.

Easy set up, had it running in 10 minutes. Not Hollywood movie quality but better than I expected. My ISP is not the best (Cox Cable) so I'm sure that degrades the picture quality somewhat.

This is a great cheap video camera for the pc. I picked it up so I can have Google hangouts with the family. Its perfect for what it is, high quality video too, not blurry or pixel-ated at all.

If I could give no stars, I would. First of all, I've been trying to get the best Web Cam out there. I first got the Logitech Pro 9000. It was/is very good. But like Toyota and it's relentless pursuit of perfection, I wanted better. So, I got the Logi HD C910. It's actually about the same as the Pro 9000. I still wanted better so I took a shot at the MS LifeCam Cinema. It was only 35.00 shipped. ( now going for 40.00 ) Very bad camera. Horrible grainy Video and lousy autofocus. I came back to these reviews and then noticed there weren't really any that were recent. I should have looked closer. Installed the latest Software ( 3.6 ) it already had the latest firmware. I can't understand why it's so bad for me. I have tried this thing on 3 different PCs. All can dual boot XP and Win 7. It doesn't matter, they all gave the same results. The mount is just too flimsy too. You have to try and not move the cable or it will move the Cam or fall off. And, if/when you register this thing with M.S. they don't even have you select this or any other Hardware. You just REGISTER... Register what? Really weird!!!!So, I would not recommend this unless you just want to go cheap and aren't too concerned with quality Video. I would return it but the packaging is/was too complicated to put back together..I'm not kidding. I'll probaly give this to my Daughter and she can let the Kids play with it.It's Microsoft.. nuff said!

This camera has to be one of the best bang for your buck. Heck it captures in true 720p.. Even though 720p is still taxing on most peoples computers. I use it a 640 x 360 SD and it still looks great. This camera performs pretty good in low light situations as well. I do video reviews and podcast with three of these puppies and im very satisfied. Lots of people talk about the logitech c920, which cost more than twice as much.. I'll stick with the lifecams for that price. Even the on board mic isn't bad at all. It's very usable. I would say above the grade of most on board mics. The lifecam swivel mount is easy to use i fold them sideways to use on mic stands. i also drilled a hole so it can be mounted on camera mounts. The newer version that 1080p has a camera mount hole right out of the box. The life cam software is less to be desired though but it does the job. You can't beat this cam for 25 bucks

In general, I have no outstanding complaints. This camera is easy to use and has a great picture for video chat. It sometimes takes a wee bit longer than I'd like to focus, and the pictures it takes aren't crystal clear (but then it is a webcam, so one can only expect so much).

I didnt like the software this came with, microsoft has a long way to go on that part, its mostly used for skyping, and the picture is remarkably clear, light weight and portable, have actually dropped it once on a tile floor, and its still working good.
