I bought the webcam simply because it was name brand & came with a software disc & real packaging [unlike the first generic brand webcam I ordered through Amazon.com that I was disappointed with], & I am pretty happy with it thus far. But let me explain something: The software disc it came with did not work on my computer [I have Windows 7 64-bit & it said it was not compatible with my laptop]. So, what I did was easy, I went on Microsoft.com & looked up what they had for this particular camera & I downloaded it. It gave me all of the software, drivers & added features that the web cam had, & it works just fine. The picture is grainy in the dark, but it does work in low light, & the sound pickup is pretty good too. It comes with a stand & a clip [for laptops] with magnets [that holds the webcam in place very well I will add] & they are adjustable for your viewing pleasure. I also like the software features for the camera as well. My only real grip is that it's a bit of a resource hog, but if you have more than 2gb of ram &/or not a bunch of other programs running @ the same time with it, it's fine. For 15$, I'm very happy with this webcam. If you're looking for better picture, sound, & features, it's simple, just spend more $ on another webcam lol.

Reamed by Microsoft again. Let's go down the list.1. Included video software so outdated that it throws warning that says "Software incompatible with Windows 7. May prevent your system from booting up properly. Download update from Windows Update site. Then you get to navigate through a minefield of "YES", "NO", and "Continues" to get to the proper software. Don't mis-click, because your system will be hosed and you'll need to do a system restore.2. USB cord is 3 feet long meaning by the time you plug it into your computer, the camera is at chair/desk level. You won't be able to record any video unless you kneel on the floor to get the camera at eye-level.3. The camera uses 30% of my Core 2 Duo CPU while running. This is more than most video games.4. The frame rate is so jerky, at 15 FPS, that every video you record will look amateurish as possible and no one will want to watch it.5. Bloated, huge, LifeCam software really stinks.Microsoft needs to round up all of these cameras and donate them to a 3rd world country. Instead, they dump them on the market for an inexpensive price and hope you won't complain.

I was surprised to find this webcam for so cheap on Amazon.com. I was looking at this in stores and the prices I was seeing were around 40-60 dollars. I picked up two of these for 30 dollars total. Came quickly, both in great packaging. This webcam has great picture quality and has a decent built in mic which none of the people I've webcammed with complained about.One of the complaints that I've read on the comments was that there was a clunky installer. For me, it was just plug and play. I had skype running within a couple minutes of me opening the package. I plugged each of these into systems running Vista and XP and both of the systems had no problems reading the webcam and were both plug and play.The best thing about the webcam in my opinion is the magnets that allow you to stick them onto the monitor, or the magnet on the stand or the clip-on for your laptop. I've purchased a few webcams over the years and this design in my opinion was quite innovative and works very well. This is a great webcam and definetly worth every penny!

Got the camera in the mail sooner than I expected, and everything was in tack and good shape. The camera attaches itself to the base/clip by a magnet, which at first honestly I was skeptical about. Turns out that little magnet built into it works wonders, and it has no problem staying attached to the stand or clip. I will say though that the cord is a little short, which wasn't a problem for me but heads up if your using a tower and its not on your desk. All in all I am very satisfied with not only the camera but also the seller.

But i can not get it to work on my windows XP computer.The product came in a small brown box, no logo, nothing.No installation disc either.I had to go onto the website for microsoft and search for the product install.When i do that it will install relatively quickly but every time i double click microsoft lifecam shortcut on my desktop, it will open and then say "LifeCam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and the only option is to close it after this.I dont know if this is the case for anyone else, this is very poor service.

I purchased this product after reading every review on Amazon. Basically, this product does what I need to to do. It was ewasy to set up, great pictures and great audio. I recently started vlogging and this webcam was the right way to go. The price point was perfect and everything is working great with it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a webcam.

Arrived pretty fast. Disk would not load on Windows 8. Had to go online to and force the download and install to get it to work. Clip would not work on my monitor. Still will see how it goes. Bottom line get a different one that will load up on Windows 8 better.

I believe the one I got was a defect product. The video quality isn't bad but the color is very unstable. I can't adjust the color or the brightness to get the right value. If that doesn't happen this would be an excellent cam.

This webcam worked on my Windows XP program a few times and quit. I have a Windows 7 now and specifications indicate compatability. However, even after loading the software, I couldn't figure out how to get to work. Gave up and bought a different webcam.

The camera was great but the cord to hook it to the computer is short. We had to buy a USB extension cord. I wish the cord were longer but the camera works great.

I had the color problem a lot of people described, and tried to solve it. It turns out that the webcam just can't handle incandescent lighting. I pointed the webcam at my monitor and it reproduced the colors shown there fine. I also pointed it at a CD with bright colors. The CD's colors were all magenta/brown--until I shone an LED flashlight on it, when magically the CD showed up in the proper colors. Increasing the lighting using more incandescent light, however, didn't work.I bet that the people who got it to work just aren't using incandescent light.

This webcam has slightly above average video with average software. It comes with many mounting options and each of them has challenges and/or drawbacks. Why doesn't the camera and/or the software allow this camera to be rotated in any direction? The magnetic mount is interesting and seems like a great idea. It allows you the rotate the camera and install it in just about any position, but that flexibility is useless if it doesn't have some internal, or external, way of rotating the output picture. The clip mount would be better if it could clip to things that were a bit wider. The stand mount could use a better base. Finally, I am also a bit wary about using/applying anything to a screen, monitor and/or computer.

I have been using Microsoft webcams for quite a while now and have stayed mostly with the VX-3000 model. It offered a cheap way for me to connect with my family so they can chat with my 2 year old. The quality has always been good on the audio front and OK on the video. Full screen mode would always look grainy and low resolution but for $30, I thought it was acceptable. I had the opportunity to try this Lifecam which supposedly offers a higher resolution that the 3000 model. And for 2 times the price, I was expecting the difference to be very noticeable.When I received the cameral I installed the software from the included CD. I had been using Microsoft web cams so I already had the base software installed which included the Lifecam software and Live Messenger. However, just in case this was a newer version, I ran the entire install. The install took forever (or what seemed like forever). After 15 minutes, I thought my computer was frozen but I could hear the drives spinning. I am assuming that the install program was uninstalling the previous version of the software first before installing the new version. There is no other explanation for the long install time unless there is a problem with the disc I had. Finally after almost 20 minutes, the install finished and I was asked to hook up the camera.That was when I noticed that the camera's permanent USB cable was about 3 feet long in total length. I need a minimum of 4 feet to reach the back of my desktop computer from where my desk is setup. Even the VX-3000 had a cable long enough to reach and provide a little slack. Lucky for me, I had a USB hub that was laying around unused so I used a 3 foot USB cable and the hub to give me the additional length I needed. Once that was done I started to play around with the camera. If you are using this on a laptop, the lenght isn't a big deal.Using the Lifecam program, I found that the lower resolution setting looked identical to the VX-3000 model I had been using. I changed the resolution to 2mp but noticed that video capture is not allowed at this rate. The highest you can record video is 800X600. This makes the 2mp video setting useless in the Lifecam program. Only still photos can be taken on this setting and the higher setting of just under 8mp (more on that later). The live video itself looked OK but I use a 2mp Microsoft camera on my laptop (I can't remember the model number off hand) that looks much better than this model. I was hoping that my desktop would provide better video performance as it is a much more powerful machine than my laptop. Sadly, with this camera, I did not see that performance.I then tried my live video chat using Live Messenger from Microsoft. I saw zero difference in the look and sound compared to my VX-3000 model. My father on the other end also saw no difference. So for the casual video chat user that lives in Microsoft land, there is no benefit to going with this cameral over the cheaper models. On the photo side, all of the 8mp stills I took were terrible quality. Not sure what it is doing but they all came out looking like 1mp pics blown up to larger sizes.I also tried using video chat with Skype as this is supposed to support higher quality video. The camera does work right out of the box with Skype which is a nice thing. In my testing, the video looked the same as Live Messenger so I saw, again, I saw no benefit compared to my cheaper camera.In Summary:Pros:1. The slim design is nice and it "looks" much better than my VX-30002. Easy setup even with the long install time.2. I actually like the little stand that it comes with that attaches via the magnet. It makes it easy to move it around (now that it's attached to a longer USB cord!)Cons:1. USB cord is way too short. Fine for a laptop but people with desktops that are more than 3 feet away from the monitor may have issues in getting teh cord to reach a USB port.2. The clip does not fit my Acer flat panel monitor. This is OK for me because I prefer the stand but for some it could be a problem. You can use various attachments which changes how the clip is used but I didn't play around with it much because I liked the stand. It did, however, fit my Dell laptop with no issues.3. Video quality is suspect compared to what it claims. I would say this is equal to a 1.3 megapixel but falls short of high quality when compared to my other Microsoft laptop webcam that supports 2.0 megapixel video.4. Still pictures came out terrible. I don't see the point of needing a high quality still picture camera in my webcam but don't expect this to take great pictures5. No video capture allowed above 800X600. If you are going to advertise 2.0 megapixel, at least live up to it. If I am missing a setting somewhere on this, I appreciate the heads up. It would be nice to be able to record at the higher setting.I would give Logitech or another brand a try if I was looking for a high quality webcam in the pric

I am a big fan of video chat. I use a different video conferencing software for my work and for my personal use. It is always great to see my family over the webcam no matter what the quality of the video is. However, I have thought that it would be even better if I could enjoy high quality video over the messenger or any video conferencing software. I am using several different kinds of webcams now and some of them are built-in webcams in the notebook computer. The picture quality coming out from those webcams made by Logitech, Creative, and Apple (built-in iSight) are pretty much the same, not good. The Microsoft LifeCam Show is the first high resolution web cam I have used. So I had high hopes and it really gave me very nice pictures. However, there are things that you need to know before you make the decision.The installation was simple and I did not have any problem with it. The thing I was impressed was the accessories. The desktop stand is the first thing I ever seen in a webcam and I immediately liked it. Since I use the LifeCam Show for my desktop and the LCD display is too thick to use a mounting clip, the desktop stand was a must for me. The LifeCam show is attached to the stand by a magnet and it makes it easy for me to adjust the angles. It comes with two more attachment discs that are basically magnets, so you can mount and unmount the LifeCam Show in other computers very easily once you stick the attachment disc on each display. The LifeCam show has two metal concaved surface in the front and back, so you have the options to stick the attachment disc on the front or the back of your display. The plastic carrying case is also a great idea to carry and to store the LifeCam Show.The one thing that I do not like is the length of the USB cord. It is too short to reach to the desktop sitting on the floor. It seems like the maker of the LifeCam Show is tarketing it to the notebook users. So, to use it with my desktop, I had to use a USB extension cable. If you are a desktop user who puts your computer on the floor and the display on the desk, you might need a USB extension cable like me.Since my main purpose of this webcam is for using it with a messenger and video conferencing software, I tested it on Skype, ooVoo, SightSpeed and NateOn (popular messenger in Korea) that I have been using. All works fine. However, I found something that could be a deal breaker for me. It does not give high quality video on Skype, ooVoo, and SightSpeed. The reason I guess is that the messenger (or video conferencing) software does not support it. Skype is supporting high quality video for Logitech high quality webcams, not this one. I found a Skype hack to force Skype to send a high quality video by using the LifeCam Show, however, it did not work. SightSpeed and ooVoo show familiar low quality video that I have always seen. I tried to tweak the settings, however, it was not successful. Only the NateOn messenger naturally supports it and I can see very crisply. NateOn is being used only by a small number of people in the States, though. I did not try on MSN messenger or Yahoo messenger since I do not use it. I can only hope that popular messengers will eventually support the high quality video from the LifeCam Show.The one thing that I like the most is a built-in noise cancellation mic. It works as a USB mic and delivers very clean sound. And the sensitivity is pretty good. By using two computers at my home, I heard the voice through the built-in mic and it was very good. I would use the LifeCam Show for my USB mic for recording voice in other applications.Unlike other reviewers stated, I was quite satisfied with the low light performance. Whenever I use any kind of video conferencing software, I had to worry about the lighting. With the light coming from behind, most webcams show very dark pictures. However, the LifeCam Show delivers bright pictures no matter what the lighting condition is. I tested at several places where normally generate dark video by other webcams, I got bright and clear video.Also, the software that came with the LifeCam Show gave a fun time to my kids. They love to put funny effects on their faces while enjoying the video chat. You can decorate yourself as a pirate during the video chat and can make a raining effect in the background of your video. My kids were having a lot of fun with it.Overall, the LifeCam Show is definitely a beautiful webcam and the finish of it is a top-notch. It is a 2.0 megapixel webcam and the quality of the picture coming out from it in low light condition is very good. With good light, this webcam can be used as a good digital camera. However, I might need to wait for the high quality video supported by most video conferencing software. That's why I give 4 stars, not 5 for this webcam.

The quality is mediocre for me right now, but I think that's my weird lighting and angle. Haven't actually recorded anything yet, but that will come soon enough.
