First of all i just want to say i love this camera.
PROS
1. Outstanding low light perfromance. In a dark room this camera still manages to make it look bright.(almost like nightvision) I can only compare it to a quickcam VC, Pro 5000 and toucam 2 and its a step forward in peformance
2. Wide Throw of lens
3. Pixel plus makes the image really sharp (it does actually make a big difference not just a gimmick)
4. Smooth video not jutters (probably helped by high frame rate upto 90 per second)
5. Looks
6. Ease of use (plug and play with xp)
7. Good pickup on microphone
Cons
1. Clip is good idea but would be better if sprung to secure firmly but id does fit my laptop and flat panel so cant complain.
2. lens doesnt move left to right just up and down
3. Cost
Overall
Great webcam, best i have seen and worth the extra cash. Would be good for people wanting a webcam for a poorly lit room or at night. I use it with skype mostly and it works a dream.

This webcam has excellent quality and shows crystal clear images. Very fast refresh rate. Easy to set up and bundled software included.
You won't be disappointed if you purchase this camera, it's well worth the money.

Much better than either the Logitech or Creative webcams I have. Drivers have given zero problems.
Face tracking works well and relaibly although you can't move too far because the camera itself doesn't move.
Picture quality is generally great, but outstanding in low or artificial light. Sound quality and sensitivity is fine.
Bundled VideoLounge software pack is pretty rudimentary, so if you're looking for lots of free software (and think you'll actually use it) then go for Creative or Logitech.
In my opinion the performance and picture quality of this Philips justify its relatively high price - it's far and away the best I've used, and by no means the most expensive.
