It's very easy. Throw in the cd, press "next" a few times and plug in the USB cable when prompted. Voilà!

Really pretty too. I was a little surprised as to how small and light it is "in person".

I recently needed a web cam for my desktop because I don't get to see my girlfriend a lot so we settle for web cam convos. I could have bought a cheaper camera for this purpose but I didn't want to. Now once again, I don't really use the camera for anything else so for me this is perfect, its true colour option is fantastic and really offers great picture quality, on top of that the focusing on this is amazing, you can show items up-close and it will be in excellent quality and have great detail. According to my girlfriend the camera quality is great on the other side, usually the syncing is far better on skype but the New Windows live Beta improves video chatting and even supports wide-screen and HD which is great if you have this camera.

For picture taking. I am a man, a real man and therefore do not stand in front of the camera for more that a few seconds to take a picture, but I will tell you that I have 2 teenage sisters and that they hate how the camera brings out the pimples and the imperfections on their face, they prefer the poor quality camera that's on my netbook, so if your looking for a camera that "makes you look good" I suppose based off of my sisters opinions, I wouldn't get this one.

The sound! I sing, and as for the Microphone, its really not that great for recording purposes but is is great for just web cam convos, probably better than most I've heard. I suggest you get a separate microphone for this purpose, however, I've heard that the software does not support a different mic and that you need a third party software to do this, which does kinda suck.

I installed that device on a Windows 7 Workstation and installation was very easy. Drivers were found automatically by Windows and after a couple of minutes, the webcam was up and running. I use it 99% of the time for Skype and the video quality is awesome, as well as sound quality. I definitely recommend that webcam.

Amazing cam. Works great in HD. The auto-focus can be problematic at times but nothing that doesnt either auto correct itself or is bearable. Loving it!

This camera is light-weight, easy to fit pretty much anywhere and works incredibly well. It's webcam for dummies. No need to focus it will auto-adjust. You can even take snaps or a short video. Definitely worth the few extra bucks.

I like this camera a great deal. It works better than other webcams I've used. I'm running Windows7 x64. Without installing any software the camera was usable upon being plugged in. It was ready to start using with Gtalk Skype, Evernote, and Onenote. The image quality is superb. Colleagues have remarked about the image quality during video chat. One caution is that HD recording/communications are extremely jittery/stuttered with my system; HD will require more processor power. This is almost certainly a problem with my Core2Duo 2.0ghz system. HD usage causes massive CPU spikes. The camera itself is very small and has an matte metal shell.

Highly recommended webcam.

This webcam is the best I ever used. Easy to set up and wonderful experience.

Really good image, even in dark. But the software options are really restricted, compared to logitech.
The caoutchouc hook working for standing at the top of the monitor, but in my setup situation, this is not a versatile or genius concept.

Being a podcaster, I like to use reliable equipment, and the camera is reliable. I have found that you will get better image quality and frame rate when your room is lit correctly. As for the sound, good for talking to family, I personally use other better microphones.

Très satisfait, facile d'installation, belle image en HD

Bonne rapidité d'expédition de la part d'Amazon
