Needed a webcam for my desktop, hand built PC. So I scoured through BargainFox.com and found this :)

Pros:
-It works well with Skype/Facebook, Google +, and just about everything else I've tested it on :P
-The light lights up my face well when it's dark in the room, this is good because I usually sit in the dark when talking to my friends over skype
-The stand thingamabob works well with most monitors and my laptop screen
-You don't have to set it up, it works when plugged in

Cons:
-It's quite good quality, but it doesn't look like it's 1080p... I'm probably just being a perfectionist or something though xD
-The camera is hard to get straight on its stand thing, but that's OCD.

Static image quality is very good but (obviously) 1080p video is very choppy at very low frame rates. Would be fine for most things but the most annoying part of the design is the complete lack of any focus control which makes it useless for close-up work. I didn't test the sound quality. The unit is well-built. Bright LEDs might be annoying if you use it for chat but there is switch on the back to turn them on and off.

Does not focus very well. Lights are average.

Do not be put off by "what you pay is what you get". This cheap little webcam, (and it IS little), performs very well indeed.At the end of the lead there are 2 connections, one for the USB, the other for the microphone socket. Luckily my 2 sockets were on the same side of the computer but at a stretch each connection could stradle the width of my standard 15" laptop with a little to spare.It is a 'plug and play' setup, no software required. For some reason my Acer laptop didn't recognise the webcam at first attempt but there has been no problems ever since.Picture quality at first was 7/10 but then I discovered 'webcam settings' under 'Tools'/'Audio and Video set up' of 'MSN Messenger' where I could set saturation, sharpness, gama, brightness etc until I was happy, raising my score to 9/10 for picture quality. There are little booster lights around the lens and these are controlled via a small wheel-switch half way along the cable which allows you to dim / increase these lights as required. They don't really throw out a lot of light and have a range of not much further than beyond the laptop keyboard. There is a slight blueness to the picture when they are at full brightness, but its not a problem, especially with the various functions under webcam settings described above. Manual focus is achieved by rotating the lens of the webcam but once the sharpness setting is bumped up it covers most focal lengths adequately. There is no automatic focus.Downside - none really. perhaps, being so small it is fairly light, and adjusting the light dimmer can easily knock it off its perch on top of your screen. Do what I do, when its in position just leave it alone!!!A great product for the price!

Great camera bit keen on the sound tho

excellent ty

All in all, it's not a bad webcam. Installation was easy enough, clear instructions, supported by many different softwares. If you simply want a cheap webcam and plan to use it for skype or msn, then this webcam is good for the price.However, the autofocus is not that great, particularly if you are looking for fine detailed still shots. I couldn't get it to take a clear picture, it was always slightly out of focus and the manual adjustments on the PC seemed to do nothing to help this, so doesn't quite meet my needs.

Dreadful quality image but can't mark it down less than 3 as it was about £4 refurbished. Utter garbage though.

My son needed a new cam so we got this one the picture is good and sound aswell he like's it so we are all happy

This is great for people wanting to remove the IR filter to make a night-time camera, or a homemade spectrometer.
The camera opens into two pieces by simply removing one screw. The lens unscrews right out, and the rectangular IR filter pops out by using a needle in the corners.

It might only have a low resolution, but the build quality is fine, and it's light-weight.
The stand is secure and keeps the camera where you point it.
