A very good entry level camera. Out performs the Logitech Chat at the same price. Works best with plenty of light, but does a fair job under my office lighting conditions. Requires Windows XP or Vista. Will not run on older systems.

The specs seem to indicate this has a 640x480 sensor, but I can't confirm that at the moment.

Screens available through 3rd party software (coming soon)
