Picture quality on these webcams are fine when there is enough light, but the images will get noisy during the night time (just like other webcams with CMOS/CCD sensors). Frame rate on the 1280*960 resolution at 1.3 mega pixel will drop to about 15fps on a 2.0Ghz CPU desktop. In addition, the "face hunting" feature allows you to zoom into people's face automatically.

Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Overall Rating: starstar

Pros: It's by far the least expensive webcam I've ever used. The LED lights are helpful at times. Small and the clip could be helpful for laptop users.

Cons: Poor quality, but that's expected due to the price.
Doesn't work on Linux at all. I run Ubuntu 8.04 and there is no way of installing this. I looked everywhere for a way to install it, but to no avail.

Other Thoughts: I'd suggest using this webcam on a windows machine, as it doesn't work on linux. I'm not too sure if mac supports it or not.

Bottomline: For the price it's not bad. Get it for a kid who just wants to play around with it, don't let them use it on their own though. Monitor your children's use.

Pros: Nice design, very strong light can be dim by potentiometer. If you do not need the camera, it can be used as a lamp!
The price is very good! Following the implementation quality in proportion to the price of good.

Cons: I bought three and one bad byj thread on the lens. Screwed him more strength and function.

Other Thoughts: For home use is an excellent camera, which is enough for normal function (Skype, ICQ ...).
Children like best that you can light up the camera in the nursery and is said to be pretty small.

Bottomline: In conclusion, I would say only that the camera is small, very light, easy to handle it and that price is definitely worth to buy. I wanted to sell and no left me, (he is dismantling the family), I have to buy them more!

Pros: - plug and play
- comes with a cd with the drivers on it
- a must have for only 5 bucks..
- looks better than some built in webcams on laptops
- oh nd just to mention only took 2-3 mins. to set up the whole thing.

Cons: there rlly isnt none.. but the picture is a little flimsy but look down on the page to my bottomline nd you'll see how to fix all that.. im loving this cam. nd it doesnt come with a mic. so you can buy one off this site for about $2.80.. i ordered the mini clip on.. SKU 7080

Other Thoughts: cd that came with it. it just downloaded the drivers to my xp computer. then i plugged it in. then recognizes it as that driver then you're good.

Bottomline: must get one. the picture is a lil flimsy. but u can fix that by setting contrast, hue, saturation nd all those other settings they have.

Pros: DRIVERS,DRIVERS
the is insain. i have purchused 3 of these cams and others , but i can never read the cd's that come with any of dealextreme cd drivers . using windows 7 is ok but if u use XP different story. i myself have no issue testing driver to find one that works . but not everyone feels safe doing so. i gave one to my daughter but she nor her boyfriend can find a driver for Xp. PLEASE POST A LINK FOR A XP DRIVER FOR THIS WEBCAM.

Cons: windows 7 plug and play.

Other Thoughts: Any other OS , CD driver issue's

Bottomline: Excellent deal. Try with fisheye lens.
