    Just got this and it's great. The picture quality is really good, the face tracking works great and its got a decent built in mic that can cancel out background noise (but haven't really tested that properly yet). It was really easy to set up and you can use all the webcam controls and features from within MSN messenger, Skype etc. The drivers work perfectly on 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista, but haven't tested with Vista. It comes with loads of fun add-ons that can super-impose characters and accessories onto your face in real time - very cool!

    The camera is very compatible with 3rd party software so you can view the camera from the web, access the pan and tilt controls remoteley, set up motion detection to record etc etc. It's also one of three Logitech webcams specifically designed to use higher quality video with certain messaging applications like Skype.

    I'd definately recommend this camera. Obviously it is on the pricey side but if you buy a cheaper webcam you'll always be wishing you got this one!

    Great experience

    My wife and i are often in two different countries. Before buying this webcam, we spoke by phone. Now with the large screen and clear picture offered by this webcam, we feel much closer together whenever we talk to each other. As well as the visual side, we find the audio better than using a skype handset.

    Best Webcam I have ever owned!

    Software installed without a glitch. An update was available and easily downloaded from Logitech's website. Picture quality is excellent, and very clear. Even in a dark room the colours will show up and the autofocus works perfectly to adjust to the surroundings. This is unlike many of my older cams which went into a green/beige "nightvision mode". I was told even on the other end of an msn converstion how clear the image was. The microphone is also excellent.

    There is the older quickcam sphere MF on Ebuyer which sells for about 40 pounds. From what I can gather, my cam is the updated version which has the auto-focus and 2.0 megapixel resolution vs the 1.3 megapixel. The lens is also "designed in collaboration with Carl Zeiss"...how fancy, and more reason to bump up the price tag! I don't know if the resolution makes a difference for video calls, and the software is the same really. But I thought it was worth it to have the latest one.

    The motorized face tracking works well and is quick, although on a couple of occasions has lost track of my face - I supose this depends also on lighting, sudden head spasms, etc... A fun feature is the video effects which gives you face accessories like masks, moustaches, horns, etc. You can downloads hundreds from Logitech. Very fun as they stay put on your face as you move (slowly) around the screen. These work on msn and skype - the sunglasses have been mistaken for being real by many! How sad, enjoy!
