from Joey, www.newegg.com
software included is not needed but adds features that are fun to mess around with (hats, hairdos, masks, etc) cons: little choppy when recording video, but thats typical with a web cam.
from Gotit, www.newegg.com
the mic picks up my voice well and in playback of a recording it sounds rich.
from www.amazon.com

should you need a webcam more for casual video chats and less for recording your own videos, the creative live cam notebook ultra is slightly less expensive and is much easier to keep anchored to

from fred, www.newegg.com
nice white light when it's recording.
from www.amazon.com
easy to send video recordings and pics in email.
from drgold2000 from San Antonio, clickfrom.buy.com
if this does not work, then use the quickcam setting menu bar which is long & slender and has video recording and photos and hit the cog icon for setup.
from www.amazon.com
you'd think for the price when not operating as a webcam it would be able to up it's frame rate/recording abilities and give you smoother video, but no i was wrong.
from www.newegg.com
so if you have lots of your own light, you can can alter the settings yourself and get a great frame rate for recording videos.
