The webcam/Skype dilemma for a Mac user.......2007-03-24

I purchased the Logitech Quickcam IM w/HDST (961361-0403) intending to use it for SKYPE. As an iBookG4 user (without a built-in camera), I was unaware that Skype + external webcam + Mac don't mix. After a helpful conversation with Logitech's technical support personnel I had to admit defeat and return the camera.

Bought the web cam for my kids to video with their Nana. Unfortunately, this product will NOT work unless the user has full Admin rights on the PC. Since my kids only have User permissions in XP Home Edition, the camera is useless. This "feature" was confirmed by Logitech's technical support. I wish I had known this before I bought it.

All I will say is that I was away from home sent this to my wife she installed (says alot) and we were able to communicate.Image clarity excellent,set up is a breeze and can be used right out of the box,the headset included in the package made this a one stop product and for laptop users the camera base shapes to fit overall extremely good product.

This camera works great for me. The onboard microphone picks up my voice up to 10 feet away, and I didn't have to shout so my friend could here me talking. He did notice that I was moving away from the mic so he understood why my voice was getting softer.

The head set works great too... and no it's not a right sided ear peice like the other review says. You can rotate the ear peice so you can use it for your left ear as well. The mic in that head picks up my voice like a telephone would.

Video seems ok. I wasn't really expecting super clear video capture, it does an ok job for video converence. The problem I had for this camera between using Skype, MSN, and YM is that YM can't detect the webcam. I've tried a dozen ways to get it to detect the webcam, even using an upgraded PC, YM just can't detect the webcam. It only detected the Mic in the webcam. With that in mind if I have to do a video conference I switch to MSN or Skype.

All in all I like the webcam. Just wish YM can detect the camera.
