Advantages: None so far, unless relatively low price (for Logitech product) counts as one.

Disadvantages: Everything else. Worst being only 15fps VGA video capture

I tried to capture "Capture high-quality VGA (640 x 480) video" and only could do 15fps, I asked Logitech and they replied:
"I would like to inform you that you will not be able to record videos with QuickCam software with the following fps and resolution combination.
- 15 fps at 640 x 480 and higher "

RightLight is completely useless feature:
There should be some feature that allows picture to be darker. Now picure is too bright and totally useless when used when sun is shining.

"Up to 30 frames per second"
If You can find a software for it. Logitechs own software does not support 30fps @ 640x480

Up 'till now I thought I could get my moneys worth when buying major label. Next time I'll buy non-brand product. It might not work any better, but at least they are cheaper.

I would not recommend this camera to anyone. I would also not recommend any Logitech webcam because their software is limited fo 15fps video capture.

Summary: Totally useless webcam, unless 3rd party software is purchased.
