it was fun chatting with my nephews.
i don't use this camera for professional proposes, only to video chatting with friends and family; the quality is really good, i has nice specials effects.
that being said, it is more than sharp enough for purposes of chatting with family members.
one very important thing to note, if you want a high frame rate while recording video or chatting go into the settings and make sure "low light compensation" is not checked.
- the software installation includes too much scumware, adware and software for chatting and other things you may not want; just more stuff to remove
the resolution is high enough for the chatting purpose, and it comes with a microphone.
it is so fun to use the video effects and you can use them while you are chatting on yahoo messenger, skype or oovoo!
it is high quality webcam and you can easily compared with the images you see from the one you are chatting.
compatible with most online chatting software.
summary: comes with a headset for voice chatting.
i bought this 4 my laptop because my other webcam wasnt working i got this on and its awesome i luv the video affects they are so fun 2 use and now it is so fun video chatting with my friends
i use it for video chatting on skype, and it gets the job done well.
it is for normal video chatting.
i didn't like it because while chatting it picks up everything from the speakers.
instead of video chatting with friends and family, i set this up facing out my back upstairs window so that my mother and friends could enjoy a live view of the beautiful hills and wheat fields
the frame rate isn't fantastic, but it's adequate for video chatting.
as far as a chatting camera goes, it isn't that bad.
finally 1.3 megapixel is more than enough for web-chatting and even for security monitoring.
before i had a chance to set it up she had plugged it in and was video chatting with friends.
the camera is simply not found/recognized by the chatting software (possibly because there is no software installed) .
- inbuilt mic for chatting
so if you have an older mac, or a macpro, and want to add a cam for online chatting, this is a very good choice.
this camera basically allows you to turn it on or off, and do a bunch of useless "avatar" manipulations (which is beyond stupid, if you want to video chat, you want to see the person you are chatting
works great with my gmail video chatting!
i think, bottom line, this product is meant for and good at its intended use - video chatting over the internet.
the photo swap feature lets you send photos while video chatting in live messenger, which is a cool feature for sharing photos and really the only feature i found useful in the software.
ms software installation is a breeze and also user friendly, including a 5x digital zoom/pan, effects and photo sharing while chatting.
it's a good camera for my kids chatting online.
this is a decent camera, great for video chatting with friends.
ofcoure it can not used for youtube although it says so and i would recommend it for video chatting or interviews.
while still pictures can be 1.3 megapixel, unfortunately the highest resolution allows for recording a movie (as distinguished from video chatting) is 640x480.
using skype for video chatting, the camera works great.
you would not want to use this for movie voice-overs, but who cares for chatting.
i liked it so much i bought one for my boyfriend, my sister, and my mother so that we can all use them for chatting over the internet via skype.
so, remember to kill the 'quickcam' process when you are video chatting with someone over yahoo/msn/aol.
