Good buy
One of my friend in France had it and decided to buy me one for my bday so I received this webcam as a gift (August 07) - still perfectly working of course. Then my boyfriend tried it and decided to buy the same for him and one for his mum in Australia (Feb 08). Last week, I bought one for my parents (Nov 08). So yes, definitely we are fan! Really good value for money. The image is good quality, a microphone is incorporated. Easy to use.

Good as long as you don't use Yahoo Messenger
This camera is great value for the price. The picture is quite good, the microphone is fine. The only problem is that I just cannot get it to work with Yahoo Messenger. I've searched the net and lots of other people have this problem too but I haven't found the solution yet...

Vx1000 is alright for a time
I ordered my vx1000 from somewhere else but when you get the webcam pluged in and installed the drivers and such which is easy to setup and when you first use it the picture is fine however i have had mine for like a couple of months and from time to time the image quality would be a bit blurry and that i see the same result from my friend who has same webcam that i recommended but don't know when that happened anyways let this picture quality speak for it's self.

If i only knew about this i would not buy it but if you do you can expect good quality but for some reason the cam you could get could be like this.

A very good WebCam
This camera is very good value and offers excellent quality. If you are looking for a camera that is not too expensive but is not terrible then look no further. It has a good amount of adjustablility and will mount of a flat surface, an LCD moniter or laptop screen.

Downsides, the adjustment often can be fiddly but once you have got the right spot, you're good to go. The top button is also a bit of a pain. I found myself trying to push the cam up or down and hitting the "Quick IM" button instead.

I personally used mine for UStream and found it perfect. Quick install too.

DON'T BUY FOR MAC. Just wanted to throw that out there for those that may think it will work on there too, it won't.

Otherwise, you will not regret buying this webcam. As good as cams twice the price.

Didn't work for me ??
Bought from Amazon for £14 or so after reading reviews. I have Windows XP Home Edition. Loaded software OK but on plugging in the Found Hardware Wizard said Error file not located. However, it did work the first time but on restarting PC it didn't, and wasn't detected thereafter. I tried everything including menu help, hardware help, uninstall reinstalled, do this do that umpteen times, emailed Microsoft, no reply, forum here, no response so in the end just gave up. Hardware help said it may be to do with the fact I previously had a Logitech webcam and to download the latest software then try it. Still nothing. Giving it One Star as although I'm sure it's a perfectly good gadget it the right hands, all it gave me was several hours of wasted time and frustration.
