Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good camera
This is a good, serviceable camera with decent quality images -- much better than the Logitech QuickCam Chat, which I also purchased. I am returning the QuickCam Chat and keeping the Quickcam for Notebooks for my son.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks great except for sound
I love everything about the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks, except for the sound quality. It sounds really staticy. The size is great for laptop bags, the video quality is acceptable (manual focus though instead of automatic focus) Nice short cord. Fits well on laptop. But I returned it due to the sound quality not being optimal. Hard to talk to people over a webcam that emits static.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Average webcam
The quality of this webcam isn't excellent or anything close to a digital camera image but it's not terrible or grainy.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great camera with robust features at low price
After having a new baby, our friends and family started hounding us to buy a webcam. Being cash strapped (you know, new baby and all), I didn't want to spend a lot.
Luckily I got way more than I paid for with this Logitech camera. The image is clear and not too grainy, and the effects are fun. It works quite well for video web chat. Don't expect megapixel clarity, but for what it is designed for, it works well.
I installed it on both a Vista machine and XP machine without any problems. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun and Easy to Use
I wanted a web cam since I can leaving home for school. I just wanted something simple and easy to use. The Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks is just that, simple to use. I am really happy of quality for what I paid for. It was worth my money!
