This is a nice cam with some good features, too bad the Microsoft software does not install on Windows XP... but that is how it goes with Microsoft I think.

The Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 provides a welcome update over last year's LifeCam webcams. The new, bendy design allows for stable positioning on a thin laptop lid, LCD monitor or desk.

Excellent image quality; especially in low light; Flexible rubber stand provides a stable and versatile base

LifeCam application is lacklustre; Not compatible with Macs

-Great camera for the price tag-Does exactly what its created for-Picture is really crisp and clear-Adaptable to any place(flexi-bend holster) -Small button on leading can get annoying-Tries to install microsoft apps, bit annoying for anyone who makes use of webcam software program other than the...

Microsoft have been fairly consistent with their hardware accessories of late, producing peripherals that are well built is not terribly exciting in terms of design. The LifeCam VX-5000 follows that trend. But is this a webcam you should consider?

Size; good build quality; indicator light

Stand not great for laptops; struggles with bright light and contrasty scenes

product is good. It arrived on time & takes good quality picture/video,Even in less light indoor. But the software required to operate did not come along with the shipment and had to search online and download from Microsoft site. No manual, No CD is bad.

on Win 7 64 bit pro; just plugin; and it installs....works gr8 on Skype
