$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from TheCaretaker91, www.newegg.com
i use it for skype and its the best camera ive ever had cons: the little button on the top is non programable
from www.amazon.com
while installing the cd it did automatically downloads a bunch of unnecessary crap that slowed my computer down considerably every time i booted up my computer, so need to remove those programs from
from www.amazon.com
expectations for crystal clear web cam chats, then i can certainly recommend this camera for people mainly interested in ease of use with windows live messenger and other instant messaging programs.
from www.amazon.com
loading the program and setting it up was a snap.
from www.amazon.com
i kept adjusting lighting and settings in the program to make it so that i did not disappear a bit with the green screen.

Logitech QuickCam Pro

from A Customer from San Jose, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
first thing is the skype program warned me that logitech's software try to control it.
from www.amazon.com
i've had the opportunity to use this product as my friend had it and now through amazon's vine program and i was impressed by the image quality.
from www.amazon.com
enough not to buy the camera, i do think the software could be improved a little; i use the webcam during internet calls and anytime the webcam is turned on, another window (webcam program) opens.
from www.amazon.com
a final thing to consider is that for the camera to work with skype you have to close the logitech quickcam software, since the image cannot be used by both programs at the same time.
from www.amazon.com
images and sound are clear, and it integrates nicely with skype, youtube, email, and other communication or photo/movie programs.

Microsoft LifeCam Show Webcam

$61.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
- run the install program from the cd and *watch it download the current drivers*
from www.amazon.com
newer macbooks may have a camera, but for all of the rest of us, the microsoft lifecam works with skype, ichat and looks like all of the other chat programs.
from www.amazon.com
keep in mind though, that the over all video quality is dependent also on your computer, and the video chat program you're using.
from www.amazon.com
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
from www.amazon.com
i am assuming that the install program was uninstalling the previous version of the software first before installing the new version.

Logitech Quickcam Orbit AF

from MikeF from Sedona, AZ, clickfrom.buy.com
recently we switched to the mac for our development team of 9 programmers.
from CamKiler from M, www.circuitcity.com
so i went shopping, and found this little wonderful thing.great design, best quality i've seen for a webcam, no lag at all, funny features coming with the logitech program.
from kliver, www.newegg.com
other good think is that the camera with extension stick is on your eye level so when you are using it with im programs (like skype or messenger for example) camera doesn’t look at you from the top.
from mrlizard, www.newegg.com
it won't capture videos the first time you use the software unless you completely exit out of the quickcapture program and go back in.
from www.amazon.com
i use the quickcam with the free program skype, since it is used by some out-of-town family members.

i try uninstalling 1.4 but it doesn't show up in that computer's menu of programs to uninstall.
from www.amazon.com
i have since uninstalled all programs from microsoft concerning this webcam and have downloaded skype which seems to work perfectly well with no problems to my web browser.
from www.amazon.com
after reading the other customer reviews as well as the instruction manual, i decided i did not want to deal with having a bunch of invasive and/or annoying programs being loaded on my computer just
from www.amazon.com
the webcam works best with live messenger (obviously, since they are both developed by microsoft), but other programs, such as skype or yahoo messenger, work fine as well.
from www.amazon.com
but even when it does work, the program doesn't always load correctly.

from lt.dell.com
you have to close the program then open aim and just click video and your laptop should automatically find it.
from www.datavis.com
we wanted them so while i was in az for 5 weeks training for new job, our kids would be able to see her each night, using the included yahoo video messenger program.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i didn't really like is that it is a little difficult to hook up to aim, and skype, because the program doesn't read the camera right away, you have to go in and fix the settings.
from MegumiChan06, www.newegg.com
i can only run it with one program at a time.
from www.datavis.com
i often had to close the program and restart it in order to get it to function right.
