Advantages: Audio built in, video recording, snapshots, focus, zoom

Disadvantages: No light on front

This is a very good webcam and has many different useful features.

You can easily change settings on this webcam so that you can have it in many different colours or contrasts. E.g. Full Colour, black and white etc.

This webcam also comes with a fitted microphone which can be used to communicate with your frineds on online calling systems and can also be used for recording purposes with any software that you may have.

It also has a twisting part at the front by the lense which allows you to focus the webcam for different distances and also it has a zoom in the settings.

Unfortunately this webcam does not come with a light on the front. Which means that if you do not have very good lighting in your room then when using this webcam at night a very dark and gloomy picture may come through on the webcam as there is not enough light.

It can take snapshots instantly by just pressing the button on the top of the webcam and also you can do it by pressing a button on your computer when the software that come with the webcam is open which means you can set up your picture perfectly and then just click your mouse once which means you do not need to move from your desired position.

It also comes with a video recording software package which allows you to record your own videos with sound. The video quality is quite good however there may be some 'lag' on the video so i would not recommend using it for recording something like a guitar playing video as it would not pick up the hand movements fast enough and it would just come out as a blur.

Overall a great webcam that i have been using for about 3 years now which makes it extremely durable and reliable. I feel that this is the best webcam i have ever had and it is not ridiculously expensive like some other webcams that are on the market.

Summary: A great webcam for everyday use.
