Amazing webcam. The first USB device to offer true HD (720p 30 fps) that actually works (tested with Nefsis web conferencing). You may want to turn off the clear frame setting.

A webcam which comes with a great performance. I really like HD like videos that is why I bought this camera and considering the price, I just love this camera. They have really improved the other lifecam and have made this camera take good pictures even in low light.

In this high definition era, where hardware from consoles to monitors and entertainment from games to films is in HD, one area that's been consistently lagging behind has been the humble webcam.

It's a good product at its price point. The cam quality and mic quality is good but the silver bezel around the camera chips very easily

Works; quality is pretty good

Chips from falling over

It is possible that this camera works well within about a foot, but anything more than 2.5 feet washes out the image with weird auto-brightness issues. Also, the mic is only functional in certain scenarios (again, close up). Otherwise it is either too loud or too quiet.
