the manual focus is no big deal, but you do have to adjust the focus.
from A Customer from Seattle, WA, clickfrom.buy.com
the controls are good, but you must manually change the brightness and contrast in lower light conditions, as the auto mode starts the image off too dark.

summary: 2 mega pixel cam, very good resolution with auto sense and manual movement ..
from mynetdude, www.newegg.com
i like the fact that it has a pole it can stand on or the pole can be removed and the camera can move manually or automatically which is a bit awkward a bit too.
from www.amazon.com
be prepared to open some ports manually but this camera can do it for you, depending on your isp and your home network.
from ZaCkOX, www.newegg.com
you will have to manually set some configuration or else the camera will not work or not work well.

not that i'm a huge fan of overly complicated and awe inspiring manuals, but for the juggernaut that is ms, i was a but dissapointed with the lack of a written manual.
from www.amazon.com
it really would be nice to have a manual adjustable lens, so one can show small items or document text.
