 Logitech WebCam e2500 January 9, 2009
I bought two e2500 WebCams so we could talk with my daughter who is studying overseas. The Logitech e2500 WebCam is easy to set up and works better than I had expected. The built-in mic picks up voice but no background noise and the audio is very good through the speakers. Works well with Skype and the Logitech's setting at 1.3M pixel send a large, sharp picture. I used an older Logitech WebCam before but the new e2500 and the software are both better and much improved.
 Decent Webcam for the Price January 4, 2009
This is a decent webcam for the price, but it cannot be compared with higher-end cameras. Overall the installation and configuration is quite simple; load in the drivers, plug in the camera and you're all set. The camera comes with a small program that allows you to adjust certain settings on the camera, such as brightness and hue, and the software also allows for still-picture and video capture. While still pictures can be 1.3 megapixel, unfortunately the highest resolution allows for recording a movie (as distinguished from video chatting) is 640x480. I don't know the reason for this, but it seems to be exclusively to limit users of lower-priced cameras. The software also has some extras, such as the ability to use "filters" that create effects on the image for when you're chatting or recording video. These are pretty useless, but I suppose they're free so there's no sense in complaining. Advanced features like the ability to have avatars instead of your face, or to add digital accessories to your image are limited to the higher-end cameras and can not be used on this device.
The picture quality goes from good (not great) to horrible based, as near as I can tell, on the lighting. With good light, the image does not lag much or get blurry, and it is perfectly adequate for video chatting. As the lighting decreases, so does the image quality, to the point of being almost unusable. If you don't have good lighting in the room where you expect to be using this camera, you're going to have to get a light source or you'll be sorely disappointed with the quality of this camera.
As for the audio quality of the microphone, I've been pretty impressed. The software allows configuration of the microphone, which is very nice - you don't feel like you need to shout to be heard, and conversations are very natural.
Overall it's a decent cam, but it's worth spending the extra money for better equipment if you're serious about either recording anything (i.e. YouTube monologues or video mail) or making sure that your friends get the best picture of you when you cam.
Logitek QuickCam Connect January 1, 2009
I purchased this item for myself and the Logitek QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks for my children. This way, I can communicate, and periodically see, my grandchildren as they grow up. The picture is not super-clear, but it does the job.
 not what I wanted - very slow fewer fps - not recommended December 25, 2008

I bought this webcam after viewing good reviews here on amazon but I was highly disappointed that none of the reviewer pointed out to its main flaw, that is slow and sluggish performance. Here they are
* The video quality is not 30 FPS (that is what it seems). It is very slow and the video does not appear smooth as I desired.
* If you record your video, your lips will not be in sync with your voice so the video looks unnatural and disappointing. This is a main drawback.
* Because of its slow speed a lot of ghost images appear if you move in the video. Even if you move slowly, image blurs and ghost appear. Not professional.
* In a moving image the new image appears on top of the old one. This is different from ghosts. What you see is new image on top of old one, that is not what we want.
* There is lake of sharpness. If the person on the other end was using this cam, i would have liked him to be more clear. Picture quality is very basic.
So I do not recommend this product. Ofcoure it can not used for youtube although it says so and I would recommend it for video chatting or interviews. As I pointed out your lips will not be in in sync with the video. You almost can not use it for seriosu purpose. I will mostly likely go for Microft VX-3000 although I like logitech name better.
I forgot to mention, this is not a Plug-n-Play. It come swith its own drivers and that has to be intalled at least on my Vista+SP1.
Good point are only it design, simple and not fency if you prefer it, omnidirection movement and can be placed on table as well as on laptop/monitor. And it does have a mic.
I previously had webcam quite a while ago. I did not expect any such behaviour. It really is a low end product. Not recommended even for basic use.
Works well and price is right December 24, 2008

I'm happy with this webcam. Resolution is not quite what it is with the higher priced Logitech but is adequate for a older and slower computer which is what I bought it for. Good value.
