Last year I originally bought a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 to chat with my mate who moved to Austrailia, thinking an expensive webcam would be good. When chatting to him, even when he was in the UK, he would say that the picture always froze and would be like that until we ended the video conversation. Being annoyed about this and wanting a camera that actually showed me moving and also with my voice properly synchronised, I decided to buy a cheap webcam, and as my friend had a Philips and his appeared to be working well, I went for this model in Comet, no frills (no manual focus or face tracking) and was cheaper there than on here.
I am absolutely bowled over with this, it is superb, no freeze frame, voice is always synchronised correctly and picture quality is great, even in low light conditions. As I said no frills, but you don't need that for normal webcam chatting. It also has a seperate mic, with a resonable length cable, so you can position it near you, or stick it on your monitor or laptop. I can complain for £14.99 at Comet.
PS. It does have a snapshot button on the side of the camera and it can be difficult to hold it steady and shoot a picture. You can solve this by downloading AVACAM a freeware program, which has snapshot functionality at the click of a mouse button.

this item is very good and I am proud to say that it's arrived very fast and I is exactly what I ordered. It is trustfully and the price is a real bargain.
Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this at a bargain price via Amazon, and can't complain about the picture quality. However, it does freeze at times. It also has other problems......
The stand is a pain, and it can be fiddly when attaching the cam to a monitor (PC or Laptop), as the design allows the camera to shift easily from the position it is placed. So you have to keep adjusting it!
The mic is not integrated, it's separate, and not as good as a very cheap microphone that I had been using (and have reverted back to). It has to be stuck on the computer. This is achieved with a small sticky pad on a plastic attachment - so if you stick it to a laptop, you can not close the lid when your finished - how silly is this? Or, you can use another clip that is supplied. With this, you can attach the microphone to your clothing (as close to your lips as possible, because in my opinion, it's not really that good).
Would I buy another one? NO I WOULD NOT!
