Title: Amazed this made it to market
Product review: Well, the quality of the picture from IBM's line of PC cameras is decent enough, but the software that comes with it has all sorts of problems. There's a high probability you'll have to get updated software/drivers and serviceability instructions. The video drivers are very finicky; your own system setup (OS release, patches and software installed), number and type of other USB devices installed all contribute to possibilities of the software and camera not working together. Also, I don't know if this is typical for webcams, but there's a good 1/2 second to second delay between live action and what's show on the computer. This may or may not be important for your purposes. However, if you are able to get one of these cameras for dirt cheap (read: almost free), then as I said, the quality if it works is good enough to at least give it a shot.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
