5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, 7 Aug 2006

By	AJS (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews

Very pleased with ease of setup &, more importantly, the resulting clear moving images projected via the webcam plus the hands free "non booming" microphone (it also has a headset if you are so inclined). Works superbly with Skype.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works well!, 8 Jan 2007

By	G "Las D" (West Yorkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Having had a few problems getting a previously owned webcam to work with Skype I decided to play safe this time and buy one in the knowledge that I wanted it to work properly with Skype.
This one was a dream to install and get going. Skype recognised it immediately and the results were plenty good enough.
If you want a straightforward webcam to work with Skype I can happily recommend this model.
