5 out of 5 eggsDecent webcam for great price

Pros: -price was great
-clip for attaching to monitor and even works with laptop screens as well

Cons: -not the best picture quality but you get what you pay for in this department

Other Thoughts: The only thing that mattered for this purchase was the price. I needed something cheap that would get the job done for video chat. If you need a good quality stream with a high resolution this camera is not for you, but if you just need a cheap webcam that will get the job done, this one is for you.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Deal

Pros: The webcam feels heavy and well-constructed, and the cord is also well-made. The quality of the image and frame-rates is excellent for a webcam at this price range. The anchor is well-designed and it fits on top of my LCD monitor securely.

Cons: Doesn't have auto-focus, but then I didn't expect it to have such advanced feature for a webcam that costs less than $30.

Other Thoughts: Installation is fast and easy. After mounting the camera, you need to adjust the focus manually by rotating the lens, but it's easily accomplished. I did not install the Microsoft Live Messenger, but this webcam works perfectly with Skype.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat for the price.

Pros: Looks cool, works very well, even in low light, has a mic, can be attached to the monitor... overall a great product.
Newegg shipping is very very fast, got it in like 2 days after placing order.

Cons: Framerate is terrible in low light. Included software did not support win 7 (not really a con because its a little early)

Other Thoughts: This is a great average webcam, easy to use and has simple features, I would recommend this product.

4 out of 5 eggsDecent Camera

Pros: Lightweight, easy to just plug in and go, decent quality, the price is excellent. It's also a good size so that it doesn't take up too much space.

Cons: My only real complaint is that the microphone is sort of shoddy. I'm not sure if its my connection or not (I am using it to talk to someone out of the country), but there are times where we just cannot hear each other without raising our voices significantly. I think it is the location of the mic (gets covered easily).

Other Thoughts: Great little camera for only $17!

4 out of 5 eggsMeh.

Pros: It works and its not overly expensive. Integrated mic is very useful.

Cons: Low qaulity video but thats what you get for the bottom line. The software that comes with the cam is outdated, just download the recent lifecam software from Microsoft's Website and toss the disk.

Other Thoughts: Spend some extra cash and go with the midrange cams, unless your looking for lowest possible price.("you will get what you pay for")
