"ok camara but could be way better"
Pros: nice clear image most of the time. it has a built in mic so you do not need to wear headphones and the echo cancelling is good
Cons: color is a little blue. face tracking is not very accurate.soft has lots of glitches and is not solid ;it hangs up a lot givings windows errors.
Summary: I got this camera to replace a 7 years old Intel and you can tell the image in this one is much better and much more clear.
There are a lot of issues that I am not very happy, though:
1. In msn the camera transmits in 320x240, I could not change it to 640 or 1 mg ; you can use this sizes only in quickcapture (to take pictures or video)which is nice BUT THIS IS A WEB VCAMERA SO IT WOULD BE WAY BETTER IF THE DIFFERENT SIZES WORKED ON Msn WHIcH IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CAMERA!
2. the camera has funny avatars and video effects that my kindergarten son loves to play with BUT IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO KEEP THEM WORKING. They hang up when he moves and you need to constantly calibrate them as they appear and disappear and a lot of times you get a message that it needs more light even tough you have a lot of light and can see a very clear image.
3. the soft hangs up a lot and the quick assistant disappears and the camera gets an "incorrect parameter" error quite often.
4. The lighting is a little unnatural it has a blue tint to it which I could not fix yet. To be fair I must also say that the camera works good in low light and it has a light boost that works nice if you do not want to turn on the light.
5. the face tracking is not good, it zooms in and out really fast on its own constantly. it is very annoying for who you are talking with as they can't really see you well with the sudden movements.
As a summary it is ok and if you consider you get a mic and camara the price is ok but I think logitech needs to come out with patches soon as their soft needs a lot of work.
