So-so cam.......2007-06-27

As a webcam it's pretty good. Especially for its price. However, if you are hoping to use it on a Mac with iChat, then you have to be careful. It will not function with iChat without a separate program that you have to pay extra for. This isn't labeled on the box or in most advertisements, so heads up.
It's just a couple of bucks for the extra software and they do let you use a demo for seven or so days before you have to buy.

Not bad.......2007-06-20

I just bought one and am very pleased. I am a Mac user and its very difficult to find one that works well. Set up was amazingly easy, and the picture isn't too bad. It does not like differences in light, but you the picture is okay. Definitely useable for basic communication and whatnot. It does not have a microphone in it, which I just didn't even realize when I bought it. Not a big deal though, as opposed to paying for the iSight, springing for a microphone isn't too big a deal.

Good for what it is.......2007-06-17

This web cam is the only cheap one I could find for a Mac. It works well with Skype, which is all I wanted it for. It has no bells and whistles, but gets the job done.

Macally Portable Goose Neck USB Video Web Cam - ICECAM.......2007-05-14

About average as was the price

it works out of the box.......2007-05-13

this web cam works on my Mac Powerbook 500 G3. it is convenient with the adjustable goose neeck and can show in any direction. The image is good for this G3. If I used it on a more powerful computer it might get 5 stars. This G3 does not have much video ram. It works with everything and is so darn convenient. The Monitor program with it is cool too. I called the Help Desk because I was totally dumb and got right in with an immediatre answer. This company has always been excellent. By the way the camera works with either the Monitor program or Yahoo Messenger but not both at the same time, duh.

long distance grandparents this is for you!!!.......2007-04-11

If you're a high tech, time is money, quality is the key type techno, this is not for you. If you're a spread apart family that would enjoy seeing the grandkids grow this is the camera for you. It's a free long distance phone/video call that can pre-planned to a certain day and time that the whole family can sit in on. Slight delay on movement and speech but the old and the young find it fabulous. Used it with Skype program, free download. Enjoy!! We do.

Works Like A Charm.......2006-12-30

Read many reviews--always seems someone doesn't like something about a particular webcam--so to hell with it!--I went for the cheapest! Glad I did, this one works like a charm!

Another WinXP Blue Screen of Death.......2006-11-16

Ditto on the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) reviews that I've seen for this product. I had read the warnings before buying, but I have a relatively new, mainstream PC that I have never had a single problem with, and figured I would be ok. The price was right.

I installed the software (which checks online for newer versions than what is on the CD...there was none), plugged in the device when asked to by the on-screen prompt, and the machine immediately gave me a BSOD. When I restarted, the machine would not boot due to a missing DLL file...I went through the recovery process with the Windows XP installation CD (took 30 minutes but seemed to repair the system perfectly), and when I restarted the machine after the recovery I left the webcam plugged in. I assumed that the recovery would have refreshed any conflicted files and/or drivers, but soon after boot (I later realized that this was when the install program tried to resume) I got another BSOD.

Finally I wised up, unplugged the hardware, and restarted the machine (no corrupted OS this time, thankfully). The installation software again tried to continue and asked me to plug in the device...I chuckled and politely refused, and it crashed soon after. Windows XP crash reporting informed me that Logitech had informed Microsoft of a solution to this problem...I needed to install the software from their website. I downloaded it, tried to install it, and got a message that my currently installed version was newer than the one I was trying to install. It was the last straw...I had given this webcam the benefit of every doubt...so I sent it back.

As mentioned in several other reviews...install at your own peril.

wtf is this cam.......2006-04-20

this cam sucks....it freezes all the time. picture quality is good no offense but i have a stable os and cable internet and few progs running in the background. this stupid cam freezes every second and i reinstalled it several times. i still havent received a reply from Dlink though.

don't buy this, get Labtec WebCam Pro .......2005-09-03

I've just got both D-link usb 1.1 plus the Labtec WebCam Pro. Don't buy this product it's the waste of money, The picture of this is very blurry not so bright and the software is not that good at all. This is the worse product of D-link. Get Labtec WebCam Pro, the picture quality much better also the software is alots better especially the motion sensor recorder that I can use to surveillance my baby sitter. I hope this will help, thank you for viewing.

A Very Good Buy........2005-08-27

I bought this webcam for stills and video. I get great pictures from both formats. The color is good and the video pics are very smoothe. The software takes a little studying, but after a quick read, it's pretty easy to edit your pics and videos. This is a great buy for the money. I highly reccomend it.

Amazon Product Description

You best spruce up before you go online, because the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is a far cry from the mediocre webcams of yesteryear. Forever banishing those grainy, jumpy images of the past, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro features clean, detailed 640 by 480 resolution and 30-frames-per-second shooting speed for high-quality video footage that compares favorably with that of a pricey camcorder. No matter what your subject, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro ensures your audience will see all that you want it to see, smoothly and precisely.

One of the secrets behind the system's advanced functionality is its connectivity format -- USB 2.0. Being one of the first webcams to shed the shackles of traditional USB 1.1 speeds for the incrementally quicker USB 2.0, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is simply able to transfer data at a far faster rate than cameras using the old standard. Moreover, its 640 by 480 VGA resolution is double that of a traditional 320 by 240 webcam. Creative has also equipped the unit with its new Face Tracking technology, whereby target objects are intelligently tracked even when they move from the center of the video frame.

Of course, no video is complete without audio. In that regard, the system sports a miniature clip-on microphone to deliver cleaner, more accurate sound than cameras with integrated mics. And you don't need to fret over installation hassles either -- the Creative WebCam Live! Pro features a convenient three-way base that allows you to position it on standard CRT monitors, flat panel displays, notebooks or any flat surface. Whether you're shooting footage or taking still 1.3 megapixel still photos, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is an ideal online video companion.

Product Description

Creative Labs Webcam Live! Pro - Whether you're video chatting with friends and family, or creating the latest YouTube masterpiece, this webcam has an impressive set of features that will make your videos stand out. Using the super-fast USB 2.0 interface, you can easily capture up to 640x480 resolution video at 30 frames per second. A lapel microphone is included to give your videos crisp and clear audio. Smart Face Tracking is an amazing feature that actually keeps your face in frame by tracking your movements. Making you more comfortable and making your videos look more natural in the process. 3-Way Base - good for CRT Monitors, Flat Panel Displays, & Notebooks Adjustable Manual Focus Ring USB 2.0 Connection (also supports USB 1.1 at slower transfer speeds) Works with instant messaging services like Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, & Windows Messenger

Customer Reviews:

Very Good Picture Quality. Smart Tracking Needs Some More Work.......2007-06-08

Overall a high quality webcam that produces excellent image despite the poorly lit room where it is located. The smart tracking that suppose to keep you in the center of the frame regardless of your movements does not work always as expected. I don't care about that feature that much as the ability to produce a high quality image is more important to me.

Great Product.......2007-03-10

This is a great product, good features, sleak design and easy to use!

Enjoying communication.......2007-03-09

This camera enables me to chat with a friend verbally as well as visually. Beats the heck out of typing IM's or a huge phone bill! Picture and audio very clear.

Meets expectations.......2007-02-19

I had seen others criticize the low light capabilities of this camera, so I was not disappointed when I got mine set up. Since our main use for the camera is video conversations with the kids and grandchildren, the quality of our picture is not a big issue; we just turn on some more lights if we want them to get better definition on our wrinkles and grey hair. The separate microphone is a little less convenient than those with the built-in mics, but I think we are not having the feedback problems our kids have with their's which have the built-in mics. Overall, this set up works just fine for our purposes.

This WebCam rocks!.......2007-02-18

Very-very simple to setup and use. The quality may not be quite HD; but is is certainly adequate, even in the low-light conditions of my office. Does exactly as advertised.

wrong item.......2007-03-09

i was sent the wrong logitech webcam. I had specified a mac compatible Notebook Pro version and I got the Windows one. I sent it back

Great Webcam.......2006-07-01

For the price - this camera is really good. It took me less than 10 minutes to install and set it up. It can take photos, video - the image is pretty clear and it has zoom capabilities. You can adjust the camera (swivel base) based on what is being viewed - or if you change positions. The microphone is sensitive. I am on the west coast and was talking to someone in the Midwest and she could hear me just fine when I was standing 15 feet from the camera talking in a normal voice. The picture was pretty clear with minimal delay. What more do you want for roughly 30 dollars? It'll be outdated soon - but for right now - this is a decent webcam.

It is compatible with AIM, MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger (the programs I sue) - not sure of any other compatibilities.

My 1996 webcam was better!.......2005-07-14

What a joke. I am using this camera with my ibook G4 and boy the image quality is very, very poor. The video is also a joke, and the files are way too large. I believe that LogiTech stopped caring for Mac products so they are producing average at best mac hardware. Its amazing, because the best webcam I bought for a Mac was in 1996. That cam worked well in low light rooms, and did so much more and offered so much better software for the Mac os of the time than this camera.

But its amazing that Logitech will go the extra mile for Windows users and offer them so much more software and features, yet will give mac users jack.

Subpar on Mac.......2005-04-19

The Logitech Quickcam Zoom has been a pain in the neck to use on my Mac (iBook G3/700 running Evocam webcam software). On most days the video ouptut is jerky or nonexistent until the cam is unplugged then replugged, the "snapshot" button on top is prone to accidental pressing, the lens cover doesn't attach securely and tends to fall off, the screw attaching the camera to its malleable base comes loose too easily, and the image quality is average at best. It did work with Evocam, but caused more grief than I figured it's been worth these past few months, so I'm selling this off and getting me a Unibrain firewire webcam instead.

Great Product.......2005-02-16

This item is great. Just be sure to follow the on screen and manual directions when installing it.. It has great clarity and the smoothness of movement is amazing. I have tried a few cams and found this to be my favorite. I gave one as a gift and they loved it. easy setup and use

I bought this hoping it would be a good cheap beginners webcam. Well cheap is most definately the word. I installed the programs needed with no problem, but as soon as i connected the webcam my computer shut down and lost the entire picture. I have had nothing but trouble with the computer since then. And I have still yet to get the webcam to actually work. It requires a high amount of memory to run. I would definately not suggest this product unless you know a computer tech willing to fix the computer after the damage is done

AstraPix PC100 from UMAX.......2006-12-04

Great product! For the price (under $12 total), it's an excellent buy. The software is very easy to install and the camera hooks up quickly. I was using the webcam in about 5min. It has a manual focus that allows you to adjust on the fly, very simple. It's not the best camera out there we all know, but like I mentioned earlier, for this price, I think it's a great buy. I love it. I don't feel I need any other more expense webcam, this definitely does the job. The only drawback of this webcam is that it doesn't come with a microphone or an adjustable clamp (typically for laptops). However, I can buy those things seperately and still be under the $30-50 range.

I purchased a VEO CONNECT... 333V ****DON'T DO IT!!!They have a web site that is all dead links, they have updated software downloads that aren't really there... They will not return email. And the phone # doesn't go through! I am not talking about "I tried once or twice" Im talking both I and the seller have gone back to the site almost every day for over a month now. Still no help, no email, and NO SUPPORT! The CD rom bundled software they included with the cam, does not up load... And they will NOT HELP!

It is worth buying for simple uses like for seeing family and friends. I received as a gift. It is very portable and will sit just about anywhere and has a nice focus right on the front.I would recommend it.

The only good thing about this cam..........2004-10-22

The only good thing about this cam is that it allows you to uninstall the software that comes with it from your PC. So you can return it and move on.

The cam doesn't work well with my MSN and Yahoo messenger. It can not be turned on most of the time. I have to unplug it from the USB and then re-plug it in. Really painful.

This thing is great!!!.......2005-08-21

I read the other reviews & I want to know what these people want. For a $30 camera, this thing rocks! I borrowed my brothers camera so my daughter could talk to grandma. I plugged it in, downloaded the driver from the web & was video conferencing on MSN Messenger in about 2 minutes. I'd definitly buy another one!!

A basic budget Cam. Functional but not great.......2005-03-30

Compatibility:
--------------
Read many reviews saying that they had compatibility issues. But mine hooked up fine on XP Home (make sure you dont connect the cam before you install the s/w - this is mentioned in the instructions).

Image quality:
--------------
Image quality is a little grainy, but for $20 its OK. Does not handle bad light well. With good light its fine. I do not use it for anything other than doing cam-chats with folks faraway. Though it came with a lot of bundled s/w, I did not install any coz i dont need it.

One surprising thing is that, with its own software i get a decent enough refresh rate and better image quality, but when using it with yahoo msngr on DSL, refresh rate is real slow and the image becomes grainy. But i guess this is not the fault of the cam since it works better with its own software.

Build quality:
--------------
Build quality is not impressive but passable, especially the legs look weak and as if they'd break if i was a little rough with them. (but if one is rough with a budget cam then one is rather stupid). Legs do a good job of holding on to my laptop screen and i had no trouble with them. Swiveling angles of the head are adequate to place it almost anywhere one might reasonably need to.

Verdict:
--------
So overall, if you have to make a choice between this webcam and no webcam, go for it. But know that this is not a performance product & you should be happy. I am.

This Camera Overall = Crap.......2004-10-23

The image quality is poor, it reloads every few seconds and it was difficult to install.

update- how to increase camera photo quality.......2004-09-30

I'm not sure if this is in the instructions manual, but for those that have complaints about photo quality, here's one thing you can try- twist the blue lens cover. This changes the focus of the camera which may resolve any image quality issues. Hope it helps

USB Compatibility.......2004-08-17

This is actually NOT a review & rating was given just on average. I'm just wondering if this device is compatible with a high speed USB 2. Because it says it requires USB 1.1. So, can anybody suggest me on this matter? I appreciate any suggestion. Thanks.

Customer Reviews:

very disappointed.......2005-09-19

Extremely disappointed - product not delivered after placing order.
Lease expected from Amazon. As a result, I got into unnecessary prolem.

umax cam- tastes great.......2005-08-06

First, Im no cam expert. I used to use a cheap digital camera ($10) and that worked fine until it stopped working. I got this new cam and it works fine. A little grainy. It snaps instant photos which is nice. Thats my A+ review! Enjoy!
