 Great portable webcam January 19, 2008

I bought this for my frequent trips to Korea so I can keep in touch with my wife and daughter. The picture quality is very clear. The clip mechanism held on my Thinkpad T60p with no issues. I would prefer if the mechanism wasn't springloaded because I think this will break eventually, but that's hard to tell. The neoprene travel case is very useful for protecting the camera in my laptop bag. The camera worked flawlessly with Windows Live Messenger.
Great Web Cam October 8, 2009

Just ordered this off Amazon from Retail Killer and received it today. I have never had a webcam before but own some great quality digital slr cameras, so I wasn't expecting that great of a feed or still picture. But this camera is great quality for the price. I think it would be great for keeping in touch with loved ones overseas or across the states. I didn't detect any lag at all. I would also recommend using Skype with this, I tried Yahoo IM & Skype, and Skype seemed to have the best quality. There was a little feedback from the mic a few times, but I have a feeling that it was caused by the other users webcam/separate mic set up. This noise can also be diminished by muting the mic, then reactivating it fyi, both users should do this if they experience any feedback. You really can't beat this webcam for the price. I paid 19.95 which included shipping & handling, when Best Buy as of today (10/07/2009) wants $63.99 for it (without shipping).
One draw back that other people have mentioned is the clip, which I agree to. I don't know my monitor depth, but I do know it's bulky, and I did have to adjust it a bit to sit in place. But that's my fault for having a fat monitor. If you have a slim monitor, I don't believe the clip will be an issue at all.
One person that gave a review said this webcam was huge, said it was like setting a mattress atop their PC. That's not true at all, and I was expecting this huge brick in the mail when I read that, only to find out it was pretty tiny. If you want a visual comparison, it's the size a of a cigarette lighter exactly (no bigger, no smaller in height & width). It has the thickness just under 2 lighters stacked.
If you have any issues with lag, just try out the different programs (yahoo, aim, windows live, skype). My friend ordered a rocketfish webcam (with more mega pixels than mine) yet his lag was ridiculous on yahoo (up to 2 minutes delay) but on skype they both worked perfect combined. So you definitely want to try out the different chat programs to see what works best, you may end up assuming the quality is the camera, when in reality its the server you are using.
I would also recommend if you order from Amazon, Retail Killer, due to the fast shipping. I was given a delivery date of Oct. 8th-14th. It arrived Oct. 7th, a day early.
Very happy with this purchase!
Great for video calls August 20, 2008

I've used the webcam several times to make video calls and have been very satisfied with both the image and the sound quality. It's almost as good as talking on a phone. Would definitely recommend to others...can't beat it for the price.
A Nice Webcam for Notebooks March 12, 2009

My LifeCam arrived this afternoon. The software was easily installed and very user friendly. The webcam sits nicely on top of my regular old Compaq. I love that I can position it anywhere along the top of the monitor. The adjustable lense is fabulous! I immediately tried it on a Skype video call and the quality was great. I also used it with Windows Live Messenger and was pleased there too. The small case it comes with is very handy. I can easily keep the webcam in my purse or laptop bag and know that it will be a little more protected. I may purchase something a little sturdier if I find I travel a lot with it because soft-sided cases are really only good for preventing scratches and nicks.
Since I haven't had it long, I can't say much about it's longevity. I'm definitely hoping it won't need to be replaced anytime soon.
My only small complaint would be that the USB cable is permanently attached. I'd prefer if it was separate so that I didn't have to twist the cord up to store it. But that's a slight inconvenience.
And the price -- excellent. I researched webcams at a few different places and Amazon's price for this particular model was far lower than anywhere else I looked.
Love it - great cam November 4, 2007
MBC (Seattle, WA)
I've been using the cam for a little bit now and like the video quality. My wife and I can see each other pretty well! Like the small design & cool carrying case. There's a mic on the webcam too and it provides pretty good sound. The only thing that I don't love about it is that I can't use it over on my desktop PC because it won't attach to that monitor (monitor is too wide)...only to my laptop monitor. Overal - great webcam.
