    It was a toss up between this and the Belkin version. While they're all pretty even, the reason I went with this one was purely aesthetic. The reason I wish I went with the Belkin is because of Microsoft's stupid integration policies with their other features. I don't use MSN's chat features. I bought this unit solely for Skype and Google+. I had to go in and manually disable an automatic boot-up of Microsoft Instant Messaging.

    The image is fine, seems to work okay in low light situations, so I have no problems with the actual unit, just the software package included and necessary.

              I use Windows 7, and this product was incredibly easy to install with that. The picture is reasonably clear on Skype and the sound quality is good. For the amount of money I paid for this item I think I received great value.

                    • A:

                      It works with Windows 7, Vista or XP with at least a dual Intel PC running at least 1.6 GHz. The head on this camera tilts left and right, but not up and down. It has digital zoom, but no optical zoom. The frame rate is 30 frames per second and supports recording 16:9 widescreen video in 720 pixel. It is a 4 megapixel camera. It appears to have just a usb cable with a built in uni-directional noise-canceling microphone with no separate sound cord.
