Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks

Not sure why anyone would rate this camera higher than a 3. Picture quality is terrible, awful lag time, I can't seem to get the camera adjustments to work and microphone is just OK. Every now and then,… when you push the camera on/off button it crashes the PC. Running Vista and have put the patch in place so something is definitely wrong (and frustrating). I will give Logitech some credit in that it was easy to set up and almost immediately get started. But there are so many other options out there, I would highly suggest a different camera. Not enough functionality on this to make it worthwhile. I'm returning it. I have to agree with another viewer, the only people rating this highly must not have used something else to see a real camera operate. I have several different PC/Mac options around the house but used this one for a new PC in the den. Sorry to be blunt. I'd try elsewhere.

I use it for my desk top computer. I thought it would have been able to fit my LCD monitor (I don't know why) but it couldn't. Fortunately I have some Altec Lansing speakers, so I improvised and clipped it… on to the speaker shield apparatus thingy. It gives good quality picture in good light and fair quality pictures in low light. It will utilize the slightest gleam of white light to enhance the image though. As in the case of a lap top it could be pitch black in the room as long as the computer screen is on (and has a fairly white background) the camera will produce a relatively good image (kinda pixelated/fuzzy but able to make out well)
