This camera is mind blowing. i live away from my girlfriend , have been for the last 1.5years, and skype regularly. i had been using my 27″ intel Imac for the purpose, but I m moving again, so i sold it and got a Samsung series 7 laptop. True, you never appreciate anything properly until its gone. The apple isight camera is mindblowing. My girlfriend kept saying how excellent my video was and how clear my voice sounded. Now even though my Samsung laptop has a 1280×720 HD webcam, same resolution as the iSight, the low light performance isnt that good, plus its not skype HD certified, BLAH BLAH, its not even 30% of the iSight. Plus, the mic isnt that good eithet( I know, I know, apple-spoiled). Ergo, I get this.
First time I use this in Skype, its not HD. I get 640×480 video. Google the issue, apparently its not skype certified too. Here comes the program “Force Skype HD”. Set it to 1280×720. The difference in qualities is mind-blowing. On top of it, the true color feature and the ambient light adjustment works pretty sweet even when its Daylight and there is an open window behind me. Mic noise cancellation works flawlessly, and i cant really emphasize how gr8 the quality of video is. I am gonna go on and say it 100% or better than the iSight camera. And it came really cheap, way less than th e logitech 1s.
cons are two, nothing major
1. The mount takes a while getting used to. The device is meant to be positioned anywhere, so its a multipurpose unique stand, I was expecting something sort of like a clip, was a bit confused for the first couple of days, thought that it wasnt responding so well to my twists and turns, apparently it requires a bit more forceful use, very useful once you get used to it, I was just scared it would break at first! 😀
2. The camera keeps auto focussing every 30secs, most people wont want it while video chatting , since you wont move much, but I guess its useful for shooting video. Not a dealbreaker, but sometimes a minor inconvenience.
But all in all, I really love this Cam! 😀

So very pleased with this Microsoft Lifecam Cinema HD webcam overall. 10 minutes after opening the package I was up and running with no issues during the installation. I was prompted to do a camera firmware update from Microsoft which I did and it went smoothly. The computer I have this on is a fairly new 2009 model Acer 5534 Laptop with AMD L310 64 bit dual-core processor and 4G factory installed ram. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit using one of the Aero themes in Windows 7. I can take incredibly detailed snap shots all the way up to the maximum 1280×720 HD resolution and they are truly superb. Note I said snapshots. For widescreen HD video at 1280×720 my fairly new Acer does not have enough horsepower while even though the video is clear and sharp there is a lag between lip movement and audio. This is unacceptable. Other reviewers with more powerful PCs have seen this issue and in like manner complained. The actual camera is tiny compared to what I expected from the ads but no matter it works a treat and I highly recommend it. The included Lifecam software IMHO is fine except it does not allow for microphone selection and one is stuck with the MS mic on the camera. It picks up ‘OK’ and is very usable but cannot rival an accessory mic that can be located where needed. I have made several videos and taken many snaps and this MS webcam is great. I can take perfect videos at 800×448 with no apparent lip sync lag. The included MS software as I mentioned is fine for me..however it does not offer a timer for unattended snapshots. I have found a new use for my wireless mouse! After relocating the mouse reciever toward the front edge of my desk I can use it to click off snapshots remotely exactly when I am ready and it has been a good workaround for what I felt was a missing feature in the MS software. I have Skype but have not tried it yet that way. I have used this camera for Yahoo Messenger (v10.x.x) video chat with really super results. I am 100% pleased and highly recommend this webcam to everyone.
