Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: what a great webcam Comment: I bought this webcam to replace a 'logitech quickcam chat' after going through some of the reviews on this site. I had no problems installing on my vista machine and was up and running in under 5 minutes. The picture was positively beautiful (well at least compared to the crap i was getting before). A really good buy at under [...]. Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty Awesome Comment: i was just trying to find a simple webcam to talk to my friends with.. this one works fine... pretty good picture quality that you can adjust... no fuss about installing.. takes a couple of minutes. The only annoying thing is that you have to set it up on top of your computer which is easy but kind of annoying.. however.. you would have to do this with any webcam so it doesn't really matter overall I'd say it was worth the money and is working out great for me Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to Install Comment: This web camera is really easy to install. The picture is a little grainy but for the price, it is a good deal. Customer Rating: Summary: The camera was unusable due to poor driver software Comment: I thought this camera would be a good value for use in video conferencing between my daughter and her grandparents. Unfortunately, I found the software fraught with problems. First, on install, the driver software refused to recognize the camera microphone. Several reboots and re-installations eventually resolved the issue. When I downloaded the latest driver from Microsoft, I found the install routine trips an exception in the .Net framework, thereby preventing me from using the latest drivers. The final nail came when the camera microphone showed itself apparently incompatible with AOL IM (the video worked, but no audio). This was with the latest version of AOL IM. I finally returned the camera in disgust. The camera was installed on an XP machine that is maintained current with patches and updates, and has no unusual modifications or software running in the background. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Value Comment: We bought this camera to replace a previous camera. Resolution is terrific and the microphone picks up sounds from a rather large area. Great buy for the price! More Reviews
