Advantages: Lots of features for the money, easy to use

Disadvantages: The Express Yourself feature doesn't work too well if you turn sideways

~What is it?
A powerful, high spec webcam for PC or laptop.

~Features
High quality Carl Zeiss lens
2mp webcam with auto focus
High definition videos
8pm photos
Automatic exposure levels for bright/dark conditions
"Express Yourself" software - gives you face accessories and avatars, for example see your expressions animated as a sharks face.
Built in microphone


~Picture Quality
Photo taking - very good quality 8MP - good clear image
Recording a video at 640x480 pixels is good. The frame rate drops a bit when you select the HD video option giving not such a smooth motion capture (on a quick PC).

~Ease of setup
Out of the box it was really easy to set up, just run the accompanying CD.

~Looks
Looks good. Sleek black casing with silver bezel. I like the horizontal bar to the side of it and the placement of the microphone to the right hand end. The "in use" light is a cool red circle around the button.

~Build quality/engineering
As most Logitech products its well built. It has a good mechanism for cliping on top of lots of different kinds of monitor.

~Value for Money
Bought ours from PC World for £44.00 which seems particularly good value to us.

Summary: A good set of features for the price
