Overall, pretty good.......2007-05-30

Overall, this camera works pretty well. The video is good. At first, my HP laptop did not recognize the mic but after rebooting it worked. The avatars don't really work well enough to be useful so don't buy the camera for that feature.

Have had this webcam for over a year now. Setup was smooth and simple on my Dell computer. Bought a new HP computer and setup was again flawless and easy. Use it primarily for video emails. Everyone that receives my video emails says "what camera are you using...it's fantastic". Making video emails couldn't be any easier, press make video, review it if you like, and then press send in email. Just that simple. Picture is surely not high definition, but perfect for the job. Comes with comfortable headset/mic and also built in mic in the camera. Prefer the headset mic as camera mic sounds a little "hollow" due to the distance from the person speaking. Also works flawlessly with Skype. Paid about $60 for the QuickCam Pro 5000 last year, prices seem stable. Don't care for the useless funky cartoon features, but some may.

Worked great for me, dont know what others did wrong?.......2007-05-23

I give this cam 5 stars, i wish it had higher resolution but other than that it worked great. I am running windows XP sp2 and havent had one single problem like some others, it loaded on the first try, updated and its never cause a single issues, ive had it for over a year now

the face trackin is pretty neat and ive already made a bunch of videos with it for youtube and myspace

Windows XP SP2 Destroying Software.......2007-05-22

Did nobody at Logitech test the software with this camera with Windows XP SP2? I mean, HELLO! I'm an experienced PC user. When I loaded the drivers/software that came with this camera, it sent Windows into a crashing frenzy! There were numerous issues with Windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). When searching on the Logitech forums, I saw numerous posts about this, with the basic final outcome being: "Uh, we know about it, but we're not going to say anything about it and we have no recourse how to make our product work." I found a way to disable DEP. This still didn't fully work, but I was able at least to make the camera run briefly, and the video looked good, but what's the use if your system won't function properly with it installed? I actually called the Logitech customer service line, and the guy I talked to, besides sounding as if he'd rather be doing anything but what he was doing, tried to blame it on Microsoft or a hardware error. He wasn't even aware of the DEP issues that were being discussed over a long period of time on his own company's forums! That Logitech is a crack outfit! Another option was to load just the drivers, and not the accompanying software. When I did that there were no more DEP issues, but every time I booted up, I got an error saying Windows Explorer had encountered an error and had to close! I'll tell you what's closing; the lid to the box containing this camera, because it's going back! After uninstalling the camera's drivers and software, Windows was happy as can be. I will be to when I get rid of this system-destroying nightmare and buy another product that somebody bothered to test!

I absolutely love it. I use it to see and make faces at my new granddaughter who is in Chile (I am in Philadelphia, PA). Great price for a quality item.
