 Possible Vista 64 bit Version Problems September 3, 2008
Bought this one and after installing and testing with friends on Skype, both noted significant problems with my audio (couldn't hear or understand me; sounded very distorted). I played with some settings and decided to record using the included program to see if the problem was due to Skype. When it would work to finally record (after a two second or so delay after clicking the record button) it would distort the image, then there would be lots of lag and the audio was not able to be comprehended at all.
As I've had lots of "luck" with the 64 bit version of Windows, I'm willing to bet this may be why. Even though it is Windows Vista certified/compatible (whichever it is) it does not necessarily mean it works flawlessly with the 64 bit version. A quick Google search brought me to a few other people with similar issues. I have returned it after having no success when I tweaked with the settings, and I have since bought another camera that specifically states it works with the 64 bit version.
Hope this will save someone else some hassle!!
 Not working on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy August 28, 2008
Couldn't get this to work properly on Ubuntu 8.04. Also got the QuickCam Connect which didn't work either. Finally got the QuickCam Messenger which worked including the microphone out of the box.
 Works Great August 18, 2008
Got this product, very easy to hook up and install and so far has been working great!
Not recommended July 30, 2008
I bought this camera to be able to keep in touch with our son who's away fighting wildland fires. It worked fine at first, but then the microphone quit working.The camera works off and on.I don't recommend Logitech products unless you have the time and know how to call the techs for help.
Great camera July 22, 2008
I bought this camera to use while my husband is deployed. Not only is the picture terrific, but the in-line mike catches all the sounds in the house. Not only can he hear and see me, but he can hear our birds singing in the background, our nieces laughing, our teenage son leaving for work etc.. Great price and great quality, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a webcam. It waas super easy to install as well.
