Looking at several reviews on the web it seems to get an average rating,


  • Apparently its only USB 1.1 which is going to compress the video when transfering giving a crappier image
  • Mechanical Sounds generated from the movement created by the auto face recognition feature
  • Difficulties on installation including several errors, and doesnt work with Vista 64-bit


Overall for me it looks like a good camera but there are to many little bits that would stop me from paying £75 ($120) for it, i think Logitech have had some good idea's but whilst trying to make a cheap web cam, the overall camera has suffered.

I'd rather pay £20-£30 on ebay and get a USB 2.0 compatable camera and move the thing about myself (i normally tend to sit still in front of my PC tho) ;D - at least it will be a better video feed
