Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Logitech Quickcam CommunicateS5500 Webcam
I like it and it works fine most of the time if you have XP or better.I am having trouble getting it to work some of the time on Yahoo IM.It works great on Skype, but never on MSN IM (don't know why).It tells me it should on all 3 counts, but it doesn't for me.The downloaded toolbar is a nuisance because you can't move it out of the way, only minimize it.Good quality picture, small size, nice webcam. Just wish it would work with all of the places the add said it would.Maybe you will have ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Satisfied
I'm very satisfied with this webcam.Although the image isn't perfect it's definitely clear enough to see everything.I blame most of the errs on the internet connections and not the webcam.I was in need of a microphone not just a camera and they work great together.The sound is at time with the video.It was definitely worth the price and I would recomend this product to someone for webchating.
