content: I disagree strongly with the reviews before. My daughter owns a MS Livecam 3000 for much less in price and it beats this one by far. The picture is very smooth yes, BUT the colors are terrible and even manually there is no way to improve it, faces look magenta all over. The two megapixels are for nothing because if you choose anything higher than 800x600 resolution you will get a delay of up to seconds on your screen within the LiveCam program and even with videos captured on your harddisk you can see this effect, so the higher resolution is worth nothing. This is with a brandnew Core2Duo machine 1Gig of mem so it is not the speed of the computer in my view.I would keep the cam if it would be cheaper say in a range of 30 bucks but not for this money.
