I ordered 2 of those cameras 3 weeks ago. Shipping and everything was perfect from the seller. The negative thing is that this specific camera has a compact size lense and you cannot adjust it manualy. I installed the web cams in 2 diferrent computers with different OS (Win XP - 32bit and Win 7 64-bit) and they both had the same problem: the sound and picture quality were very good, except for the color, which was always purlpe-ish and brown and was never stable, no matter how the settings were adjusted. As for the appearance, it is quite charming, since it is very small and can be easily used for laptops and generally travelling with your computer. BUT it was pointless, since I couldn't use it because of the color. The customer service of the company was excellent, they sent me 2 other cameras, just in case there was a problem only with the 2 first specific items. But the other 2 web cams I received a few days later had also the same problem (let me mention I also installed the official updates from Microsoft). So now I am returning all 4 items and this is actually Microsoft's responsibility to fix this.The seller was really helpful.I wouldn't recommend this web cam, not even as a cheap choice, at least until Microsoft fixes it's problems.I also use another Microsoft web cam which is absolutely fantastic, but with this one it's different.

Everything else about this camera was fine, but with an extremely short USB cord, I had to buy an extender, which nearly doubled the effective price of the camera... Microsoft, spend an extra 10 cents on the copper for a longer cord!

Perhaps this was a great camera few years back. But today, this is a medium quality camera. Very slow, bad colors, and very heavy software that uses lots of your system resources. At current prices, sure ... not bad. You can use it for a backup. But no one would pay the original suggested price today in my opinion.

At first I ordered this webcam and was scared to see the results because of all the reviews I've seen. It came today, and I must say, I am thoroughly surprised! First off I have to start with, you don't need to install the software. Just plug the webcam in and go. And a lot of people wrote that the picture quality is bad. I thought it was great! The frame rate is alright thought. Nothing amazing. The package came with a desktop stand, two stickers with magnets,and a laptop clip. I would recommend the stickers. I don't really like using desktop stands. And the laptop clip, which is my only complaint, does not fit on my laptop. My laptop is about half an inch thick, which is a little thick, but many clips fit it. This did not.Overall i thought this came out great! A lot of people complained about picture quality, but its actually not too bad!

When I first got this out of the box and plugged it in (without installing the software), I was really disappointed to see colors flickering constantly; it was as if it couldn't decide between magenta/yellow/cyan and the picture quality was horrible. Then I read a few more reviews and noticed a few people saying it was better in low light, so I turned off my high-beam desk lamp, and lo and behold, the colors stopped flickering and video quality is pretty darn good in low light, even in REALLY low light when it's almost difficult to see in person. So the color cast is wonky with incandescent lighting, but I'm using it primarily as a pet webcam so it suits my needs fine.I can't vouch for any of the software (bloatware) that comes with it, but it was pretty much plug-and-play (and restart) for me. I love the small form factor, and the multiple ways you can attach it with the magnetic discs.Overall the quality is mediocre, since it is 15 fps and there's the weird color thing when you have bright beams of light, but for $20 (plus $10 next day local delivery) I'm pretty satisfied, or rather, relieved that I don't have to return it and waste shipping. A solid choice if you want a portable webcam and don't sit in bright light all day.

I chose this Webcam because it is the same brand and look as one that I have just recently lost on a trip. I wanted something that would be very easy just to open and plug and play. This one plugs and plays, but the color of the image is all washed out and somewhat reddish in tone. It was so disappointing for the new one not to be as good as the "old" one. I may return it, but would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem. . . . and solved it! --Nestegger

This is a very nice little camera. The installation takes forever, but there wasn't anything I had to do. The picture and sound quality are just fine (there is a lag in the picture, but it's only noticeable if you move something very fast in front of the camera). The microphone seems to work well, and the picture is fairly clear. The camera comes with several magnets, which is how you clip or stick the camera to your computer. It also has a small free-standing stand if you don't want to use the clip. The camera comes with a small plastic case, which is great for me because I use it on a laptop, and like to be able to shove it in my bag when I'm done with it. The camera can also take up to 8MP still shots, but they're pretty fuzzy (just use a digital camera instead...they're really not worth it).

I bought this camera to Skype with out of state family so they could see our little baby. The hardware was exactly what I expected, it was small and discreet. Totally ideal for the kind of webcam I wanted. I loved that it mounted magnetically to the laptop, a stand or where ever you wanted it.It comes with its own disc for installation which was easy.After installation, it opens the program automatically and you finally get to use the camera. Welp, the camera was functioning but the picture was horrible. I might as well have bought a black and white camera. I was wearing a black shirt and it came out looking light blue in the camera. My eyes are brown and the camera showed me with green eyes. Everything was washed out and it flickered between green, grey and magenta.I am so disappointed with the camera. It is MSRP $79.99. Of course on Amazon, it was a lot cheaper. It was worth what I paid, not MSRP. BOO HISS on this product. How disappointing Microsoft. You came out with XBOX 360 and Kinect but you cant get this camera right? Come on.

The picture quality is great, the workmanship (body etc...) is great, rugged. The size is excellent fits in the computer laptop bag easy. Works with all traditional communication sites... Skype, MSN messenger, Yahoo etc...This is one of the best webcams that I have ever purchased and used. Comes with a built in microphone also.Comes with editing software and operating software that allows you to add effects live while you're chatting such as hats, face masks etc... I purchased a second unit for our home computer after receiving this one.Highly recommended.The only con is that it mounts to it's own clip with a magnet which sometimes falls off. Other than that, the camera is worth every penny.

This webcam looks really sleek. The magnet mount is nice and convenient and the installation is really easy. The only problems is that the image quality is horrible and the microphone picks up a lot of background noise. It color shifts a lot and made a dark navy blue shirt I was wearing look like it was light gray. Over all, its not a very good webcam. The two things that kept me from giving it a one star rating is the simple installation and its ease of use.

I'm not sure what the ultimate webcam would do as I only have fairly limited use for them, but this one for me was a slam dunk!I primarily just use webcam for video calls on Skype. Everyone I've talked to so far immediately complements the picture and sound quality. Installation was easy, price was great, and the box includes a bunch of nifty mounting options. I haven't tried any of those mounting options besides the stand as I use it for my desktop but that works great. My only complaint is that the cord is really short. Most desktop PC applications where the tower is underneath the desk, I think, will really struggle with this but I had a USB extension cord handy so it wasn't a big deal for me.In summary, great picture and great sound for a great price. I'm no webcam expert, but I'm thrilled!

hi, I bought this webcam to talk to my parents. This a a nice sophisticated looking camera. Very easy to install. And the microphone is really goood. But I didn't find the video as I had expected from a microsoft cam. Its true color technology keeps on finding he color which gives odd colors sometimes and the screen also flickers while doing that. This happens during the low light. But in the day time everything seems pretty awesome and the video quality is also great in full light. Overall I would recommend this product.

This took awhile for me to get around to installing and then even longer to begin using. While I really enjoy the idea of using a video cam, the actual implementation still seemed bulky and inconvenient. It's just so much easier to pick up the phone or use text based chat instead.Now, aside from my own personal quirks, this little cam offers a lot of great little features...almost none of which I actually end up using. Teens or kids might have a lot of fun with it including the ability to swap backgrounds or other small special effects, but the average adult like myself is likely to want performance over cute effects.Which leads to where the cam does a good job...the basic specs are solid. Clear view, decent sound and a small footprint. The price came down considerably since the original release making this a decent buy for the money.

Purchased this cam to pretty much use solely for Skype. Did a lot of research and this certainly is a great cam for the price. Listen to other reviewers though and DON'T install the microsoft software. My wife accidentally did and it caused numerous problems. but once uninstalled, it's back to working great again. I would definitely buy this cam again.

This webcam did not work for me. The picture was in all different colors(mostly red). I could not upload the video I recorded onto Youtube unless it was converted. When I converted it it still wouldn't upload to youtube. Do Not buy this webcam. It is a rip off for a higher price. I have a $20.00 webcam that works better than this one. I only bought the webcam be/c it can mount on my laptop's monitor which is what my other one couldn't do.

This is a tremendous web cam for the price. The web cam has fantastic software that comes with it. If you select a filter, the software is able to identify faces and create animations around them (i.e. putting virtual sun glasses or colorful hair on you) that moves and with your head. In addition it comes with great quality extras such as stands, mountable magnate holders clips and a case. I was very impressed with the great quality of the product--especially considering the price.

Have hesitated as did not know much about these things but read the Amazon customer reviews and bit the bullet and ordered.....followed suggestion by another purchaser and did not use the CD that comes with the camera but merely plugged it into the computer, downloaded skype and have had a ball talking to friends and family.......am ordering more for family members that do not have them...

With the webcam war between Microsoft and Logitech, Logitech has so far been on top with its quality web cameras especially in low light conditions and video quality.This time around, the Microsoft LifeCam Show is now available with it's thin and sleek design. The LifeCam show comes with a 1 ft. stand, a magnetic stick and also a clip on for laptops. Also, boasting a good number of fun features, easily outnumbering the amount of features found in Logitech's QuickCam software and even Apple's visual effects.The ease of install is simply installing the program on CD, which I tested on one Laptop and it took around 10+ minutes (which is not bad compared to other webcam software programs that have to load all the special features).The first test was through AIM (easy to use on AIM) and video quality showed quite a bit of artifacting and noise in low light room conditions and increasing the quality in full video was about the same when viewed from a laptop. On the opposite end, I tested to see how things looked when viewed on my 24" iMac and it was soft and not as clear compared to a similarly priced Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000.I then did a test on two well known video-streaming sites which I did a broadcast using the Microsoft LifeCam Show and overall, a similar look as I had on AIM.On good light situation, with proper amount of sunlight in the room, thinks looked a bit better and although you have control over brightness, saturation, sharpness, etc. I was not able to come up with very clear video.Even using the Microsoft software, in a smaller screen, things look clearer but still too dark.Then I started to do some mobile lifecasting with the product and I wish the wire was a bit longer, so when walking around or placing your laptop in your bag and just doing a lifecast, you really need to keep the lifecam closer to you (pinned to your bag arm strap or your shirt) rather than the extra line to hold the camera up while walking.As for the special features, their are many which were quite fun (from rain, lightning, static images to moveable images and facial changes). I must admit though, that some of the effects that require body movement hung and I was waiting for minutes. Granted, I was testing this on a 3 year old laptop with only 2GB of ram but loading some effects took much longer than I would like.And as for software, you get the Microsoft camera program, you get the ability to install Microsoft Live chat, etc.Overall, the product is easy to use, it looks sleek and cool, a lot of effects to keep people happy, in fact my wife and my child loved the many effects included. But for many people who are looking for a camera for lifecasting or streaming broadcasts, the camera doesn't do well in low light conditions. You definitely want to have a lot of light nearby. But otherwise, the camera may be too dark for some. Also, I wish the cord was much longer for those who want to do mobile lifecasting and tend to keep their laptops in their bag while walking or for those who want to lifecast and need the additional length.So, overall, it's a good camera but when compared to a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 which is similarly priced, the LifeCam show doesn't function well in low light conditions even when you have tweaked the controls.

Okay first things first...Do Not, I repeat Do Not download the software that comes with the camera. First try to just plug it in and most likely whatever chat system you are using (Windows Live, Skype...) will find it and connect it.I spent 2 days of my life trying to get the software to work and then read the other reviews and realized that I should just plug it in.Aside from fighting with the software that I didn't need it is a great camera once I got it working. It gives a nice quality picture and works well in pretty much all lighting. The speaker works great too. I think I got more then my monies worth with this purchase.
