You can do much better in the 40 - 60 price range
Pros: Cheap. Good physical design
Cons: Poor quality video and audio. No auto focus!!!!!
Review: I bought this cam because it was a bargain at the local circuit city. I regret this purchase as the quality for web conferencing is horrendous.
There is extreme fuzziness even with a still subject. Don't even think about low light capabilities. And the audio through the included "headset" ( really just an earpiece) isn't completely horrible but it is barely mediocre.
Another huge problem is the completely manual focus! I don't mean through the software, you have to adjust on the camera itself. What a hassle.
Stick with Logitech.
