This camera is everything you could expect form a £15-20 camera, it is small, simple to use, average quality and excellent value for money.
However, like nearly all electrical equipment, it has good aspects and bad ones!
The bad ones are, the picture quality and the microphone. The problem with the picture quality is expected, as it is a cheap camera, but dont expect briliant, crystal clear picture quality, it is easily good enough for chatting with on msn etc. but thats about it! Also the microphone is a bit too 'hidden' you need to talk quite loudly for it to pick you up, and if you have it nearer to your speakers than to you, it tends to pick up your music more, i use my headset microphone which i find a lot more convenient and better quality!
But, the good aspects of this camera by far outweigh the bad ones, for example the picture quality is easily as good as i expected for the price, the simplicity of use it typical of logitech (i only just reviewed my new logitech speakers which arrived 20 mins ago!) and the software it comes with is simple and very effective. When i say simple to use, i mean very simple, so simple in fact that if you can buy one off the internet, you easily have the skills to set it up! All you do it put the disk in, click setup, it installs drivers, you plug the camera in, set up the focus and microphone levels then restart your computer. Thats it!
Also, the software it comes with is extremely simple, just run the program and you get all kinds of options like record a video, take a picture (using the button on the program or the handy 'quick capture' button positioned on top of the unit) and even start a messenger program direct from the webcam software!
Overall this camera is very simple to use and excellent value for money, i would definately recommend it if you don't use a webcam enough to warrant spending £30+ on one.
