4 out of 5 stars works with powerbook OS X 10.3.9 and iChatUSB   February 18, 2008

Having spent $125 once for an iSight I was looking for a cheap alternative. Macs present two
problems. First, with systems earlier than Tiger and Leopard (yes, we're still out there) iChat won't run with USB cameras (only firewire cameras). Fortunately there is nice third party software (iChatUSB) available for $10 (with a free demo version so that you can test it). Second, Logitech doesn't supply a proper driver. But there is an open source driver (macam) available from sourceforge. So the steps are 1) buy the camera, 2) download the driver and 3) download iChatUSB. The camera quality is nothing to write home about, but then presumably you're video chatting home so they can see for themselves. Having been gouged by Apple on my first camera (and on batteries) I get extra pleasure in using this camera. Ah yes, the clip works just fine.

This camera worked out very well due to its small size and portability. Even though the picture omits the mounting mechanism it still fit the bill.
The hinged clip is a much preferred method over the flexible style because it holds its position with less effort and doesn't appear destined to break over time.

I ordered this as a gift for a family member and they hooked it up on their own and ive seen the images that come from this cam and live images also and it is very clear. The settings are also great when your lighting isnt good

Setup was a breeze. The definition is pretty good but the color contrast isnt the best. I use the product with my MSN messenger to video conference and it does the job fine.


4 out of 5 stars Skype Enhancement   July 17, 2008

During a visit, a friend from Amsterdam told us about Skype and how we could communicate for free. I found this webcam on Amazon and installed it and downloaded the free version of Skype. The camera/microphone provides a more than adequate picture and the microphone is quite sensitive. All in all an economical, good quality system for the Skype usage. It was fairly easy to install with the enclosed CD after I found that I had to do the installation with my computer on the internet. It would not install satisfactorily if not online. The camera and microphone have allowed many face to face conversations with our overseas friends. I am going to buy one each of these units for our 5 children so we may converse on Skype and see our Grandkids.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
