    This is a nice and simple webcam. It gets the job done, and is easy to setup. Highly recommended for those who need a very simple user friendly device. Read more

    • Just the mic. It is clear.
    • Quality is VERY poor. Very flaky resolution. Overrated.

    This isn't compatible with windows Vista or anything after so if you have a newer computer - steer clear. This would be a great webcam for an older computer, for a new user to the web cam world or for an inexpensive option for someone on a pc they didn't worry about. Not a lifelong investment. Read more

    I love that it looks perfect wether I have the lights on or off. I don't really like the mic it has it doesn't work most of the time. Nevertheless it's a great cam and I would definitely buy it again. And I bought it because my bf left the country and he wanted to be able to see me from time to time until he could come back home.

    For those who are perhaps technologicaly challenged among us (of which I'm sure there are a few, I know I am!) a webcam allows us to actually see the person /s we're talking to on a chat service or for them to see us using the wonders of the internet. I picked this little number up a few years back from Dixons I think, it was around £25 at the time, but they seem to be much cheaper these days. Even more reason to buy one. First off it's small.

    • Easy to install, Simple to use, Small, Long cable
    • Can be a little blurry, Perhaps not as amazing as new products but still good!
