A very neat little web cam with a great picture - even in low light conditions. The sound works really well, as does the face tracking feature (it tracks your movement to keep your face in the centre of the shot). This is definitely an impressive cam.
Now the negatives...whilst not really problematic the mount could be a little more positive, but the biggest drawback for me is that whilst my 6 month old cam worked fine on Windows XP, it definitely does not work with MS Vista. Having just purchased a new desktop already loaded with Vista I had not expected Philips flagship web cam not to work with it. It gets worse, as having contacted Philips they are saying that they currently have no information as to when a driver will be released.
The SPC 900NC is the webcam that others are judged by. Offering the ultimate in image and sound quality, it's perfect for face-to-face video conferencing, web-casting and remote home monitoring. Quite simply, the best there is!
