Inexpensive, worksby fishtoprecords - January 7, 2009
Pros: Very inexpensive. Works great with Ubuntu
Cons: dim image. Too dark even with a 150 watt lamp

Great for any messengerby CNET Guy - July 11, 2005
Pros: Easy to use. You can take pictures and adjust the video settings the way you like it. Also comes with great software.
Cons: Not the best imagine quality. And you got to have enough lighting.
Review:
Bottomline is that for what the price is this is a great camera for looking at your family and friends.
