Plug and play... all you need for your Mac!October 13, 2008 No drivers, no hassle, just plug&play. Resolution is not the best, but it gets the job done. I appreciate the ability to be used with a tripod.
Needed spare parts - got themJune 26, 2008 I bought the camera a year ago for using with Mac Mini Intel (Tiger), it is sitting on top of my 26'' LCD TV screen. Installation was easy, I don't remember any complications. I use it with Skype mostly, but I have successfully tested it also with iChat and some MSN clients (it cannot be used with Adium).
Unfortunately the camera has nothing for attachment, so it has fallen down from it's high location several times. Once so badly, that a tiny plastic screw (one of the 2 keeping the the box to the pod) fell off and I could not find it any more. The camera works still fine, but adjusting the direction is somewhat complicated.
Help was closer than I thought: after dropping a line to the company, a package with the needed parts was sent to me on the same day! Such a good service is definitely worth the fifth star.
Ok, but not stellarJune 14, 2008 I was looking for a webcam that would work well with a pre-Intel Mac. This camera is simple to use (just plug in) and produces a passable image. It also has a fixed focus, so there is no need to make adjustments. It is not as sharp as the webcam built into the most recent Macs, however. Moreover, the lens is susceptible to flares, so that light from windows or overhead fixtures will often distort the image. Finally, it does not come with a built in microphone, which means that in some circumstances, you will need to purchase a separate USB mike. Overall, it is a decent camera, but I think there are better products to be had at a comparable price.
Poor design, but does a OK job.June 4, 2008 I do not like the design, it looks like cheap toy camera made in China. But it works good without audio, you would have to buy a separate microphone. I would rather just get iSight on Auction for a bargain price.
Use instead of pricey iSight, works flawlessly with macs.April 11, 2008 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
My powerbook g4 didn't have the built-in camera so I needed one to use with Skype for video chats. I bought this and have been very pleased with it. Been using it everyday for about 4 months or so. It is about the size of my thumb in length and about half that in height and depth. It is well thought-out having a sturdy little stand to sit on its own and uses that same stand to brace itself on top of you laptop screen. At the base are two holes if you want to mount it more permanently. I don't know too much about resolution and whatnot but it gets the job done and does it pretty well. It even comes with a little cloth carrying sac for transport in your laptop bag. I have absolutely no complaints. The best part, though, is how well it integrates itself. Just take it out of the box and plug it in... within 5 seconds there you are! Though you can download some from the website if you want for troubleshooting purposes and updates, you don't have to. Nothing additional needed. Don't want to use it? Pull it out, no issues. Easy to use, no hassles, gets the job done more than adequately for my purposes. Four stars instead of five only because at $60 it's a bit pricey. But it feels sturdy in my hand, not at all cheaply-made so I assume it will last for a long time. I wanted a camera to use for my mac seamlessly and didn't want to pay the $200 or so for the isight and feel I came out ahead. Highly recommended!
