This item was delivered in the midst of postal stikes on a Saturday! I am a 'technophobe', yet found it easy to install (who wouldn't) and get up and running. The picture quality is far superior to some of the pictures we have received and I have loved using SYPE with it - the goose neck is also fantastic and having it free standing with the cable allows greater flexibility! Would highly recommend both product and seller.

This item was better than I had expected, picture is brilliant even in low lighted rooms. Good microphone too. I found this webcam to be outstanding value for money. Works well with Skype. I recommend this item to anyone

This webcam is NOT HIGH DEFINITION (despite what the name alludes to). It is a 480p webcam. It has the utterly useless feature of resizing the image to be larger, presumably with the sole purpose of being able to advertise it as capable of doing higher resolutions.
Do a simple test: change the resolution as per the user guide and capture a still. Then capture a still at 640x480 and resize it to be larger using your favourite photo editor. You will observe that the resized 480p picture is exactly as sharp - or, should I say, exactly as blurry. There is absolutely no extra detail captured in the higher resolution modes. I'm using the latest drivers off the HueHD website.
It's even mediocre at being a 480p camera. The framerate is nice and smooth if the lighting is good. However the diagonals (eg contours of the face) are rather jagged in the 640x480 mode, leaving me to wonder whether perhaps it's actually upscaling from an even lower resolution. The jaggies are very noticeable and annoying. There is a large amount of noise in the shades of the face even in bright lighting.
People who rate it high must be comparing it to other really bad webcams. Objectively the picture quality doesn't deserve any more than 3 stars, and I'm deducting one star for the misleading name and another one for misleading specs.

Looks Good Performs OK
If you want something for Skype that's not too expensive, this cam's OK. Looks good but, can be unstable when if you're not careful adjusting the flexi-cable.

Works well on my "old" iMac G5 2004 10.4.11 Tiger and my "old" iBook G4 Mid 2005 10.5.8 Leopard. Very original design.

Good webcam
This is a pretty good webcam, from our end works fine. When using Skype it's apparently quite jumpy at the receivers end, although that could be due to our Internet connection or... Read more
