Good little product. Works well on Skype and has good full screen resolution. It doesn't support all the software features I would have liked so if you enjoy playing around with fun image features (ie turning yourself into a talking dinosaur) then I'd recommend the next model up.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY. IT IS PERFECT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON JUST WANTING TO SEE EACH OTHER AND FOR GRANDPARENTS SUCH AS MYSELF TO SEE OUR GRANDCHILDREN.

Not much else to say. Great webcam, excellent resolution, great microphone, very adaptable to any type of monitor or surface, and great sound management. If I had to say anything for an improvement, I would add more options for when you are traveling in other countries. I visited Brazil and I had some issues with the video transmissions. I got into the settings and the Anti-Flicker feature only had options for North America 60HZ, Europe 50 Hz, and Off. What???? What about the rest of the world??? Anyway, when I am at home it is a great webcam

First off if you are a Mac person don't buy this web cam. This camera works okay, if you like a lot of complication setting it up. I bought this, because I saw that other reviewers said it works with Macs. It does, but you have to download programs and plugins in order to make it work. You are better off getting an Apple supported web cam. Apple has made it so that only firewire web cameras are supported. So you have to download macam in order to connect a USB camera. I am returning it.
