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.

Ownership verified by DX Very good
Posted by Cauzinhu on 7/2/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: - Very cheap
- Looks good
- Small
- The LEDs work
- are considerably bright
- It also have 6 small LEDs witch provides light if you want to film in dark, and a small clip to attach it to anything

Cons: Build Quality low,dificult for use this webcam
The real resolution is terrible. Max. 352x288
It produces too much contrast. The software has plenty of settings that you need to adjust, to tweak out the unit, but tyou'll probably still have a bit too much contrast.

Other Thoughts: good for prince

Bottomline: It didn't come with drivers.

Ownership verified by DX Worth the price

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

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: The physical build of the unit is quite good. The casing and connectors are more solid than many other units.
The lights help a little if you're truly "in a dark place. In most situations they won't make an impact and might actually spike the contrast beyond optimal ranges. But it also doubles for a good keyboard lamp.

Cons: It didn't come with drivers. I searched for usable drivers and found this one: <a href="http://rs226.rapidshare.com/files/167011232/ZS211_DRV_6211.exe">http://rs226.rapidshare.com/files/167011232/ZS211_DRV_6211.exe</a>
It produces too much contrast. The software has plenty of settings that you need to adjust, to tweak out the unit, but tyou'll probably still have a bit too much contrast.

Other Thoughts: It makes a good lamp!
Everything is solidly built.

Bottomline: If you don't need "studio quality", get it.
It makes a great gift for kids.
Good enough for skype.

Ownership verified by DX Cheap. don't expect too much
Posted by ehabkost on 6/19/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: less than 1 day

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Very cheap
- Looks good
- Small
- The LEDs work, and are considerably bright
- Works out of the box on Linux (Fedora Linux 10)

Cons: - The real resolution is terrible. Max. 352x288
- It looks good externally, but build construction inside is not superb (I already opened it, on the first day :)
- The LEDs don't seem to be controllable by software. They can be turned on and off using a sort of dial in the cable
- Windows XP didn't recognize the camera. The driver CD has only a .exe file with a chinese name (I didn't trust the procedence of the file, to run it on my system)

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: I didn't expect more than that from a $5 webcam. If you have this in mind, you won't be disappointed. It is worth the price.
