Pros: Flattering, fast, clarity, moves with you as you walk
Cons: I'll let you know...
The Bottom Line: This little cam has enriched features and produces a fast connection, and looks and sounds great as you present yourself to others.

Pros: You can extract the huge driver package on your own. Good low-light pickup.
Cons: You have to download the whole thing even if you want just one thing inside.
The Bottom Line: Looks like, in the final picture, Microsoft may have actually developed a product slightly less bloaty than some of its competitors', not that either sets the bar very high.

Pros: Flexible mounting, fast frame rate, decent video quality
Cons: Low microphone volume, bloated software package, poor support, almost no documentation, potential security problems
The Bottom Line: Don't pay too much. Buy a separate microphone.

Pros: Out and the box and chatting within 10 minutes!
Cons: ...if the microphone works.
The Bottom Line: Budget camera which has a critical hardware problem which remains unaddressed by Microsoft. I am taking it back to get a different model .
