Advantages: 100% value for money, Excellent picture quality, Superb audio quality

Disadvantages: Whya re there not two in the box?

This camera is wonderfull, magnificent and a dream to use. Once you get it working. That last part is mainly for Windows 2000 and Windows XP users.

There is a little issue where the operating system locks access to files required for updating during the installation process. This is a non-issue and the philips pc-camera homepage tells you how to get around this. It's also worth getting the updated drivers as the performance improves by about 25% when they're in and running.

The quality at 640x480 is superb, so everything lower is greata s well. Audio quality is soo good from this that I use it with dragon dictate for dictation. Honestyl. I was doing a voice-over for a smal video project and my mic was duffed so I actually adjusted the recording levels manually, used microsoft sound recorded and got my WAVs that way through this very camera. The results amazed everyone.

The look of the camera is also very nice indeed. I'm so pleased with it that I've got one in my study and one nestled between the XBOX and Sky decoding in my livingroom so my daughter (2.5 years old) can video conference with her grandparents in Ireland on the big-screen.

Simply superb. Go get one. Don't wait, go out and do it now, you'll not regret it (Once it's working :) )
