Very good quality build. Feels solid and well made.As far as picture quality, excellent. Used primarily for Skype and Yahoo, I've been complimented on it's quality. In fact I bought it because a co-worker was using it in a meeting and I was impressed with the his picture clarity.

I received the camera just yesterday and I installed it right away. The image is gorgeous, the size of the device is small (though the picture published by the manufacturer is a close up that makes it look much bigger), very appropriate to carry wherever you go.Yes, my laptop, as all laptops nowadays, had its own web cam incorporated, but usually not with the resolution this camera has. Besides, being a detachable device, it allows the user to actually do amateur films of great quality. The price is absolutely affordable (again, a couple of days after buying it, I realize they rose the price. Lucky me!).I used it already by Skype and the counterpart noticed the improvement on the quality of the image before I told her I was using a new camera.What can I say? I recommend this camera with no hesitation.

this camara works great. it came in ungodly complicated packaging, but the camara itself works great. plug and play, no blue screens or driver failures. win 7 - 64 bit. skype, msmovie, self contained software work great. its picture quality is that of a 10 meg pix camara quality. the built in mic is great to. would recommend to everybody. the clamp is a type of flex clamp, self adjust to your mount.

I was able to easily install the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema on my old PC and was pleased with the results. My PC is about 6 years old. It's specs are: AMD Sempron 1.99 GHz, 160GB hard drive, and 3.31 RAM. I added extra RAM several months ago. My PC would accept the HD mode but only for instant viewing. When I tried recording myself playing guitar in HD mode my PC couldn't handle the load and the audio and video were disjointed and terribly out of sync with each other. But in the 640x360 mode it did much better and the audio and video were in sync with each other. I don't have a HD monitor anyway so viewing in HD quality would not be possible even if I had a more powerful PC. What HD mode did though was to enlarge the picture area on my screen which I still found useful.It's very lightweight and durable, being constructed out of metal instead of plastic so I think it should last for a long time. I had some trouble getting the rubbery clamp to grip my flat computer screen. It wants to flop around and I can't get to adhere to the screen with much stability. But I do like the fact that the camera can sit on a table top or other flat surface without having to be anchored to anything. I think the USB cord should be twice as long since some people like to video themselves doing various activities further away from the computer. I like to video myself and my students playing guitar. The camera would not attach to my music stand so I had to hold it in my hand to video reocrd my daughter playing guitar. The USB cord was not long enough to reach my bookcase which would have been the ideal spot to leave it for recording guitar video and sending live webcam video to family and friends. I was somewhat pleased with the audio for classical guitar. I expected the audio to be "tinny" sounding like it sounds on all my other video equipment but I was a little surprised to actually hear a somewhat close approximation to the sound of a classical guitar. I had the camera set about 5 feet from me and tried to get as close as I could to it without sacrificing the video of my playing technique nor my head. The sound was not good enough for serious recording, but it was perfectly good enough for webcam lessons. I will try using my H2 Zoom along with the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema and to get the best video/audio combination. One odd sound I kept noticing though, upon playback of my recorded guitar video was a quiet intermittant "chirping". I don't know what was causing this sound and I haven't yet found an answer to it. I didn't hear it at any other time except for when the recorded camera video was being played back so it had to have something to do with the recording system somewhere.It does fine on Skype. Unfortunately I have a slow internet connection so my video is not flowing but broken up. But that's not the camera's fault. I need to upgrade to a faster internet speed.So other than the rubber clamp not working as well as I would like, and the USB cable on the short side, and the chirping sound it really a very good camera. I played around with the special effects but I doubt I'll actually use them. My 8 year old got a kick out of them though!

BRIEFLYThe LifeCam delivers HD-quality video and good sound and it seems to work with all the apps that have the ability to recognize a camera when present.I was pleasantly surprised by LifeCam's quality and ease of use. A Webcam is a Webcam some may say and they may be largely correct but, as some of us know, little details often make the difference between a good product and a great product and I consider the LifeCam to be one of the great products in its class, especially at the current price level.PACKAGING AND INSTALLATIONIt's not so easy to get the cam out of the fancy box - be careful or you could end up with a few cuts from sharp plastic sheets - but, once out of the box, the installation is quick and easy. You run the CD - and you are warned NOT to plug the camera in until prompted to do so - you plug the camera into a USB port and... that's it. Microsoft recommends that you also install Windows Live but... thank you very much I can live without it. By not installing it I won't be able to begin a video call by tapping the little button on the top of the camera and that's okay with me.Physically, the camera sits safely on top of my monitor, the rubbery grip kind of bonded with it without me having to do much - inspired, efficient design.FEATURES AND OPERATION (see posted image)- Resolution can be anything from 160x120 to 1080x720 and a few more in-between.- Up to 424x240 you get 30 frames per second. Any higher resolution outputs only 15 frames per second. It's possible that the video card dictates the frame rate. I tested with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series with 996 MB Total available graphics memory.- Advanced video controls let you tweak brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, white balance, and set for backlight compensation if needed. If you happen to be in Europe, you can set the 'powerline frequency to 50 Hz to reduce flicker' - and I noticed no flicker myself.- You can also control the camera's zoom, focus, exposure, aperture, pan, tilt and roll and set the low light compensation on if needed - all of the above done through soft controls, no need to actually touch the camera.- It's also possible to 'move' the camera up/down and left/right and zoom in/out but these are limited adjustments and they do not work at the higher resolutions.- The cam's window also comes with 3 useful buttons that would, when pushed, snap a picture, stard audio capture and start a video capture session.- Finally, just for fun, you are provided with exactly 42 ways of having fun with your picture by either grossly distorting it, playing with the color mix or applying various objects on your face that the software tries to keep them following your moves: glasses, masks, wigs, hats and other such disguises.MY EVALUATION - 5 starsThere is really nothing to complain about this little device. Everything it does and the way it does it are close to superlative. I found the LifeCam to work with nearly all apps that will take advantage of a 'Web cam', be easy to setup and use, provide a steady, high quality image even in less than ideal conditions, allow for flexibility and even for fun.If you need a cam to sit on top of your monitor, can't go wrong with this one.

I tried every driver i could find and none of them would work with my Win7 pro 64 bit system-----plugged the camera into my XP machine and worked like a charm--from Google search this seems to be a common problem with some Win7/specific mother board setups----tried Microsoft support and getting through to a person either from e-mail or phone is next to impossible--sent the camera back, and as usual, Amazon is the best when it comes to returns.

This is a good camera. It is good in low light. Good with Skype and other purposes. But Skype usually uses 640x480 resolution even on very fast PC and connection.You can attach it to LCD monitor or laptop. But it is better designed for desktops.Auto-focus is not fast. But is can focus on a very close object.Microphone captures clear sound.Lens is very wide.

I bought this camera to do some streaming online with game footage (twitch.tv) using an application called Xsplit. Trying to get this to work with Xsplit gave me all sorts of issues. It would lock up my laptop to the point I needed a hard reboot. It also conflicted with the onboard camera so I couldn't use both at the same time.There's also a common issue with this camera where it will continuously refocus if you are on auto focus.All it did was lead to frustration. I got it to work a couple of times, but only after hours of fiddling and restarting to make sure that everything was just right.This is not a very good webcam for streaming... especially with Xsplit and I highly suggest going with Logitech instead. Any of them. I got one of the C310s and it was genuine plug and play, worked with Xsplit right away, and I could use both cameras at the same time in xsplit.

I purchased this camera with microphone because we are using Lync at work... The picture is HD, and I thought the resolution would be fine... because of our small monitor size. However, it is clear that other cameras purchased are much clearer and the sound better. I didn't spend too much - purchased this on Gold Box for about $30. Better cameras generally cost $20 more.This is a 'you get what you pay for' situation. Bottom line: Resolution is clearly lacking and sound is slightly better than the camera resolution. In comparison, the built in camera on my Dell laptop has better resolution and built-in mic has better sound. In retrospect, I wish I'd shelled out for a better camera.

Bought this to use with my ubuntu 11.10 box, and it worked like a charm. No need to install anything, it's truly plug and play. You can adjust camera settings with gucview, and you get a sharp image. The auto focus does go crazy every now and then, and you can turn it off using gucview - although I am not sure the settings of gucview are system-wide. It does use a lot of CPU power to deliver HD recording, but that's expected isn't it?Also tried this camera in my macbook pro running snow leopard, and it works flawlessly without any additional software - which is a bless, since usually microsoft programs are bloatware.This little gadget delivers fine webcam video with skype and whatnot, and the price here is unbeatable!

As my first ever webcam, I must say I was neither disappointed nor overly satisfied. I was hyped about the potential video quality, with the labeling of HD, however, it does not exactly live up to it. As far as the rest go, it's a pretty solid webcam overall, considering it's style, design elements, and built-in microphone.Pros:Very clean, modern design - still one of the most attractive webcams on the marketGreat microphone quality - also great design integration at the top, allowing it to receive sound at 360 degreesIndicator light - blue LED indicator light easily visible on the front of the webcam letting you know it is activeUseful clip - the rubbery portion hanging from the webcam - comes in handy and can be mounted on just about anythingWire organizer - a small wire organizer is attached to the wire allowing you to easily manage excess cable or move somewhereGood cord length - plenty of cord to move your webcam anywhere you need to, while attached to your USB portGood cord thickness - the cord is much thinner (maybe 50% thinner) than your typical USB cableCons:Video quality could be improved. Don't let the label HD convince you it's going to be crystal clear - it's good, but not great.Although the clip is very useful, the webcam can't really be 'fixed' to objects, rather it just sits on top of them. Any tug of the cord and the cam is going to end up on the floor, or whatever comes first. Very minor, but something to be aware of.Overall: If you're looking mostly for style and good aesthetics, with above-average performance, this is a great buy in the range of $50. If you are looking for high performance audio and video quality, there are probably better alternatives out there, however, I do not have any recommendations at this time.

I've been using Logitech webcams for over 10 years now. Always been happy with them. When I found this at half the price of Logitech Webcam 9000, I gave it a try. Here's what I love about this over the Logitech:1. Price. Cheaper is better, right?2. Picture Quality. The color is richer, the picture is brighter, and everything looks cleaner.3. Size. It's tiny. And it fits both LCD monitors and laptop/notebook/netbook screens.4. Compatibility. It's a Microsoft product. Integrates well with Windows.

Length:: 1:10 MinsMicrosoft is a company some people love to hate, but with the LifeCam, we have a real winner. It is a stylish and exceedingly well-made camera that not only delivers on its advertising claims, it is also very affordably-priced. Whereas most webcams are plastic and orb shaped, the LifeCam is made of metal and looks like a little mini-bazooka. The cylindrical matte black aluminum housing and glass lens give the LifeCam a touch of elegance, probably taking a cue from the design of the Apple iSight Video Conferencing Webcam with Autofocus -M8817LL/B.A number of thoughtful design decisions went into this product. The rubberized foot prevents slippage and it's bendable, allowing you to perch the camera on just about any monitor out there. The head has complete 360 degree swivel freedom. It can only pivot about 45 degrees up and down, but that should be enough for anybody.Although it is listed for Windows computers only, the LifeCam will also work on a Mac. Of course, none of the software will. It works in Skype and you can use Quicktime to make audio and video recordings with it. For video, you can record at 320x240, 640x480, or camera native (1280x720). The LifeCam is much better than the Mac's built-in iSight, both in terms of resolution and performance. It picks up sharp details and functions very well in low-light (see my photo in the product gallery). With the lights out and only the monitor's glow as lighting, the LifeCam still performs wonderfully. Most folk'll probably never sit in the dark and cam up, but then again, some folk'll!Secondly, the camera renders scenes very well in artificial lighting. My room is lit by CFL bulbs. On my digital SLR and the iSight, everything has an unnatural yellow tinge. With the LifeCam, colors are more natural and pleasant looking. Objects in the distance (more than 6 ft away) sometimes appear a bit overexposed, but this is not really an issue unless you're filming things far away. Everything is always in focus and the camera has no problems with objects moving in and away rapidly. The LifeCam does not work in Photo Booth or Image Capture.I recorded a short little demo of it using QuickTime to give you an idea of how well the camera works. The microphone is adequate, but not stellar. It is top-mounted, and when perched on top of my monitor, the microphone didn't have a good line of sight (or line of hearing?) with my voice because it was level with the top of my head. For the purposes of recording the video, I sat off to the right, far enough to be out of frame, so I had to speak up. In normal use, you would probably never do this, since the whole point of using a webcam is to be onscreen.My only other criticism is the overly elaborate box that it comes in. It doesn't need all that packaging. Overall, an impressive product at a very good price, the LifeCam is an exceptional device. I have no reservations about recommending this excellent camera. The fact that it works for PC's and Macs is an added value.

I trusted the product information on this webcam; you should too. This little dandy automatically adjusts light, focus, and placement of images being displayed. I explored many options including condenser microphones to create credible sound recording and cameras better than my Skype camera. The Microsoft LifeCam 720p HD incorporates all of my needs into one affordable option that exceeded my expectations. I can use it as a video option or simply a quality microphone. Look for my recital of some of my poems from Heartland Inspirations on U-Tube.

Bought this for Skype specifically. Works great! I'm running the most current version of Skype(5.7.0.123) and the camera showed up right away and so did the mic on the camera. I've not used the built in software yet as I've not had a need to do so, I just installed it for the drivers. Only thing that is a little weird sometimes is the auto focus. Even when the image is static you can catch the camera re-focusing for some reason, but it's not a big annoyance to me. Highly recommended for the price.

I really enjoy this camera, my parents and friends that I talk to on Skype noticed right away that I got a new camera.It is from Microsoft, so honestly great hardware piece. OEM software is crap, pardon me, but camera works fine with out it. It's plug-and-play.Overall I would recommend this camera.

I was looking for a cam that I could maybe use a wide angle lens on but I found this cam to do a good job without adding a new wide angle lens picture is great I use on a new laptop hang it over screen. The only thing I find that could be improved is it seems to keep re focusing all the time,great other wise

I was expecting HD quality video and was pretty disappointed. I just started Skypeing with my folks in AZ and honestly I could not tell the difference between their laptop webcam, touchpad webcam, ipad2 webcam and the Lifecam. I had high hopes because it said 720p, but if is pretty poor actually. I bought the Logitech C910 for my mac and the difference is pretty astounding my folks can tell right away which webcam I'm using. The Lifecam has a really great mic but the picture quality was not very good at all if your expecting HD. Honestly spend the extra couple of bucks and get the 1080p Lifecam or the Logictech. I actually returned it which is pretty rare for me.

Well, first off I purchased this product because I needed a "live" video camera which was compatible with a wide range of video editing and stop-motion animation programs. It also had to be Windows 7 compatible, offer HD resolutions, and be relatively inexpensive. So, for the requirements I had for a camera, the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema pretty much fits my needs perfectly! By the way, I don't intend to use this camera with Skype, Windows Messenger, or any other type of video chat program. Please keep this in mind when you are reading my comments.Now, for some of my observations about the camera. The build quality of the camera is top-notch and the 16x9 wide-angle lens is fantastic. Constructed of aluminum, the camera body appears rugged and features a long USB cord to accomodate any computer configuration. Image quality, both video and still picture, are extremely sharp and the auto-focus feature is very responsive. The included software will install a camera control panel which allows for zoom, tilt, and pan functionality. I really welcomed that feature, because it eliminates the need to rig the camera on a tripod. The software will also offer to install Windows Live Essentials (Messenger, MovieMaker, Mail, Writer, and Photo Gallery), but I believe you can decline it. By the way, don't be fooled by the Mac fanboys who are bashing software by Microsoft, because the included software is pretty good. As far as hardware requirements are concerned, you need a fairly beefy system if you want to record video in 720P high definition. My laptop is an HP Pavilion DV4-1225DX with an AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor (2.10 GHz), 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit), and ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics system. Even with those specs, my computer recommended switching from 720P to a lower resolution. So, if you are running with a single-core processor like an Intel Celeron, Pentium IV, or Atom (netbook)... you might try a different camera like the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 or the Logitech C500 webcam.Software compatibility seems to be pretty good with this unit. I had no problem running Pinnacle Studio HD 14, Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 12, Honestech Claymation Studio 1.0, Tech4learning's Frames 4, Sony Vegas Pro 8.1, Corel VideoStudio 12, or Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus with this unit as a "live" camera. However, I did run into some problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. The video was displayed in the capture window, but there seemed to be a conflict with the native HP webcam software installed on my system and Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. That particular program seems buggy anyway and always struck me as a resource hog.In conclusion, I would like to say I am extremely pleased with my purchase and look forward to using it for my stop-motion projects. So, if you are looking for a high-quality HD webcam for your beefy Windows equipped computer, the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema camera will not disappoint!*** UPDATE (6/6/10) ****My 13" MacBook Pro (Unibody) scoffed at this camera. Too bad, I was hoping it would "just work". :^(
