Great Little Webcam 5 by .. Ken (Seattle, WA)
This is the perfect webcam for using with a laptop. The image quality is outstanding and works well even in low light. The cord is just long enough to connect up to a USB port without getting in the way and saves space when packed up in the tiny neoprene case that's included. Logitech even thought to include a handy mini velcro strap on the USB cord to keep things organized. There's a small and quite adequate microphone with the camera. The stand that is included with the camera breaks apart into three smaller pieces so it can also easily fit in one's gear bag. I'm a bit concerned it's not quite sturdy enough for constant assembly-and-disassembly. I can see using the stand quite a bit when attending lectures because it isolates the microphone from the sound of keyboard typing. I also own an Quick Cam Ultra Vision on a workstation at work. All in all, I'd say that this tiny webcam gives the huge Ultra Vision a good run for it's money on image quality and features, but is much more convenient for the road warrior. Logitech is obviously taking web cams seriously-- these are the two best webcams I have ever seen. They suddenly make video conferencing, video Skype, and OneNote video notes a must have.

Does what it says! 5 by .. Memyself&I (Texas)
This webcam produces nice sharp images and the automatic focus is fabulous! The colors are rich and very true.
It works great in dim light and well lit areas. However in my opinion it works best if the room is evenly lit,either all dim or all bright.When I first turned it on it was evening and my room was dim except for the desk lamp which was sitting behind the camera and this caused some over exposure,this was easily solved by simply turning the lamp off.

The sound is also nice and clear,even from several feet away.I have a very soft voice and sitting about a foot and a half from the camera I can be easily heard,which is saying alot considering I constantly have to repeat myself to others.

Even the pictures are nice,about the quality of a mid grade digital camera.It also comes with a stand if you don't want to clip it to your monitor.The stand is a light weight plastic and has a grip pad on the bottom for extra support.

All in all I am very happy with this webcam and reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a nice compact webcam with excellent resolution.

Works out of the box in Linux! 5 by .. Sandip Bhattacharya (Bangalore, India)
I prayed and prayed after I ordered this. I had previously checked out the linux uvc webcam [...]which might work, and this seemed like the 2007 model that is mentioned in the list.

After I got it, I ran to the laptop, heart pounding as I plugged it in. /var/log/messages confirmed that the USB identifier was just the one which was supported - 046d:0991. I started up ekiga and it straightaway showed my video. I fired up Skype, and it showed up as well. Even the microphone works! Just freaking awesome!

Those in the market for linux compatible webcams, be aware that most logitech webcams are marked in the linux uvc page as potentially having problems (including the famed pro 9000 model). Be careful and do your research before buying webcams. This one works! Picture quality is ok. I am not sure whether the video qualifies as HD as somebody has tagged this product with.

OS used: Ubuntu Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), but should work in all modern linux distros with uvc support.


Great camera for my iBook 5 by .. Vasiliki ()
I bought this for my iBook G4 running Tiger and it works great. I later upgraded to Leopard without a problem. No setup necessary at all, just plugged it in and it was immediately found by iChat AV and PhotoBooth.

Great little add-on to a notebook 5 by .. G. Swift (Southwestern Missouri)
As with other Logitech products (at least the four others that I have), there were no issues with getting this cam running on my notebook. This always pleases me, since my computer is pushing 6 years of age. :) It's small enough to fit into my carrying case without having to remove anything that I already cram in there, and its weight is negligible. That makes it perfect for travel use in my book.

I was not too impressed with the software that comes packaged with the cam, but it does get the job done. I was actually impressed with the image quality. Most webcams I have played around with were abysmal in their resolution. This one, however, did nearly as good a job as some digital cameras I have used. I attribute this to the optics, as I have had good experiences with Zeiss lenses on various microscopes in the past.

The cost is not too bad considering the quality of product that it delivers. I am too pleased with this little gem. :)
