5 out of 5 eggsawesome

Pros: great software; great microphone; longer focal length lens usual; this camera is way better than you think the price would suggest. it can focus close....really close. it works with any linux distro i can throw at it; comes with a lens cap!! the leds can be turned off i thought they couldn't at first. the monitor clip actually Works and come with a foam sticky back that can be used optionally.

Cons: the focus lens can use a little knurling around the edges.

Other Thoughts: this item is on sale now and telling all my friends now about it. i love this webcam and for the price you can't beat it unless you looking for automation and perhaps a shorter focal length lens for wider angles.

5 out of 5 eggsEX++ great

Pros: wonderful camera. works with linux as well. i didn't realize how nice having an integrated microphone is. and everyone has told (voip) me my sound is better than the logitech mic i was using. also having it usb is a big plus since their driver seems to handle sound better. do not let the price fool you: This Is A Great Camera. lights are a wonderful touch

Cons: non really. the longer than normal focal length shortened the depth of field and wish the ring around the lens was knurled to make it easier to focus. the lights can be harsh and wish there was a manual shut off

Other Thoughts: if this lens had a motorized lens focus operated from a pair of hot keys it would really bring it home. i love the design; it makes me want to mod it out; i wonder if the IR block filter is part of the lens.....hmmmmm. definitely buy one of these.

Pros: good quality, glass lense, looks cool

Cons: scratched my monitor & keeps falling off. if you have a monitor with a shiny finish, you'll have problems. but you can still just put this on your desk

3 out of 5 eggsDecent Camera

Pros: Software does a good job of "zooming/panning" to the speaker. Swivel is nice and tight and doesn't slip from the position it's set to. When the LEDs are on, it does a good job of illuminating the face. Corded ear piece (wraps around the ear) with mic is very good quality, very light weight, and the cord is quite long.

Cons: Clip only opens wide enough to be used on a laptop screen...too small to clip to most anything else. I needed to stick velcro to the stand to secure it to a desireable location. Swivel is very limited, so it can be hard to find a good mounting location. No option to force the LEDS to stay on whenever camera is in use.

Other Thoughts: A good value for the price.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Very good picture, for a very good price. Don't be fooled by the price tag -- this is a great camera for basic use and has excellent image quality.

Cons: The mounting clip design isn't necessarily the best ever devised. Then again, I don't like using clips at all. Most people would be fine with this, though -- it can be placed on a flat surface and aimed without using it at all.

5 out of 5 eggsVery Clear!

Pros: I also own a Microsoft VX-3000 and a Creative Labs Webcam3, and neither of them measure up to the clarity of the glass lens Hercules webcam. Ultra crisp, great lighting, and color saturation. This is a great webcam. The microphone is loud and clear. I use this with Skype right out of box.

Cons: None!

4 out of 5 eggsGreat Little Webcam

Pros: Its a good camera, the light feature is good, and the ability to focus is great. Moreover, the mic isn't too bad.

Cons: Video quality could be a little bit better, but for this price I'm not complaining. Also, the bloatware that comes with the camera is sort of useless. No need for it really.
