A very good webcam for the money. Works really well with Skype. Must have a computer that can handle video well. At least 2GB of RAM and over 1GHz CPU works best...
Works great with minor issues

Arrived in couple of days and works great. Gives good videos, though sometimes video will lock up while audio still going, like it's trying to catch up to it. Very good with facebook, and no issues at all when downloading to my laptop. Would definitely upgrade to the next one when it's time and would definitely recommend. A great buy, a good product, and fun to use.
It's ok, BUT!

Nice looking, easy setup, worked well until I
tried to use it on Skype. Upon starting prog,
image freezes at receiving end. Voice goes thru
fine. Tried uninstall & reinstall, same thing!
Using Windows XP.
Don't buy if You are running Vista...

Looked like a great buy for 29 bucks. As always with Tiger, it arrived quickly. However, it simply will not work with Vista. Every time I try to use it I get the good ol' error message:
