Excellent

8.0

CNET Editor's rating: 8.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Matthew Elliott
Review date: 5/15/08

The good: Excellent image quality, especially in low light; flexible rubber stand provides a stable and versatile base.

The bad: LifeCam application is lackluster; not compatible with Macs.

The bottom line: Despite its uninspired software, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 proves its worth with outstanding image quality, a funky and useful design, and low price.
