| Summary: A few people who left a one-star rating were unhappy with both the webcam and customer support at HP. However, there were quite a few five-star ratings from people who loved this HP webcam. With its low price, easy set-up, simple operation, and a high-quality 8MP picture, it was said to be perfect for Internet amateurs and pros alike. One person pointed out that it was very much plug-n-play and didn't need installation of drivers, making it very easy to install and get going quickly. Many also commented that it was durable and worked well without breaking. If you want a webcam upgrade or are looking for something new, this is one of the best available for this price - and maybe better than a few that are more expensive.

Summary: Nearly half of the reviews it has received were for five stars, with reviewers liking the low price, ease of use (even for seniors who sometimes have trouble with computers), and the fact that it works with Skype with no problems. All of these things led people to call it a great value for the money. Some people who left a one-star review said they had problems with the video quality and sound quality. Most realized that they were getting a lot for the price, however, and recommended it for people of all ages and computer experience. If you're looking for a simple to use webcam that doesn't cost too much, this might be for you.
Pros: Inexpensive, easy installation, good audio/video quality
Cons: Live call button only works with Windows Live Messenger

| Summary: There were a couple of negative reviews left, but these seemed to center around Logitech in general more than this particular webcam. It was said that there are better webcams out there, but those cost more money. Dollar for dollar, this was one of the best webcams in this price range. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles and isn't "fancy" in some respects, if you want a basic webcam with good picture quality, you should give this one a chance. For the price, the picture and sound quality were said to be really good. Some mentioned no problems with Windows 7 compatibility.
