This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Camera shipped very quickly. I am using Win 7 64-bit and it loaded and works just fine. Nice quality photos and videos; works well in low light.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: One thing I've noticed is that the camera's clamp/stand is intended for monitors that remain thin all the way down the back. I'm using an Acer H243 24" widescreen monitor which starts to slope outward a few inches from the stop. This isn't a con; I can still get the camera to straddle the monitor but may end up standing it on top of something if it slides around too much.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy to install. The software works well.
Cons: The video seems to get vertical lines occasionally (it seems to be related to automatic brightness correction, because if I place my hand over the camera and then remove it, the problem corrects itself).
Other Thoughts: I bought this soley for use with Skype, and it works very well.

Other Thoughts: One of the reasons i purchased this was $15.00 rebate on a good cam is a great deal. But i find it dissapointing that Logitech has had my valid rebate since june 13th and coming up on 2 months later still days its being processed. That being said great deal!

Great Web Cam
Reviewed By: Invid on 6/22/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very good picture quality Very good sound quality Easy to use and the software is simple
Cons: The clamp is just a simple pressure clamp and there is no spring loaded grip. Because of this the web cam can be easily bumped out of position.
Other Thoughts: The only thing I would recommend is that Logitech redesign their clamp to contain a spring to actually clamp down on edges rather than just being positioned to do so.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Simple to install, and just works. The picture quality is okay, but my expectation was low to begin with. The universal holder works great either on top of laptop panel or sitting on top of desk.
Cons: price and rebate
Other Thoughts: I have no problem using the web cam on Windows 7 64 bit. Upgrading the software helped.
