For what I do, this LifeCam is perfect. I found it way easier than my last couple of webcams to install and get up and running. Sure, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that a lot of the other cams are shouting about but I never went much for that kind of smoke and mirrors. I always figured it for a sure sign that they are trying to cover up some other shortcoming. This cam is straight-forward and delivers on its promises.

In the case of this camera, the only shortcoming that I ran across wasn’t actually my own. I have a friend whose son is studying out of state. He’s pretty green when it comes to technology so I’ve been helping him set up his computer to talk with his son via Skype. When we tried hooking up my LifeCam to do a test run, I couldn’t get it to work and couldn’t figure out why at first. It took me a bit of time to nail down, but it turns that the camera isn’t completely compatible with the Vista that my friend has installed on his system. For my comp, with XP, I have no complaints at all. The cam works like a dream.
