Works well!
Using this product for video chats to various continents. It was dead easy to install and set up in Windows 7 - plug it in - seriously, that's all I had to do - windows did the rest! Comes with a lens cap - nice touch and much appreciated! Not thrilled that the microphone is live all the time so as a result it stays unplugged unless I'm using it. The USB port is on the front of the PC so it takes a second or 2 to do this.

Great webcam
Overall a great piece of equipment. Able to set up on a table tripod, but the head is flimsy and if lots of motion on the table, it gets shaky. Great to cover deposition hearings, static head shots, and office communication via webcam applications.

Only one of its kind
We utilize these cameras for Live Auction Broadcasts. What you wont find in any literature about this camera is it is the WORLDS ONLY zoom in and out web camera! Therefore it is the only one in the world we can use, very scary if Microsoft quits making them. Other solid features include tripod mount and fantastic sound pick up.

Quality product at a good price!
For the price the camera works as good as expected. It will automatically adjust to compensate for the amount of light needed to have a viewable picture. The only issue I found is the ability to record in 1080p resolution which requires additional software not supplied by Microsoft. Overall I would recommend the camera.

Great Webcam & Great Price!!!
Looked all around different stores but this one had the best price! This webcam is far better than using my laptop camera. The autofocus does have its moments when it blurrs out for 2 seconds but other than that I am satisfied!

Good, but not quite perfect
The tripod mount is nice to have, but it's not very solid. The autofocus sometimes gets stuck (seems to be a software issue). White balance and sharpness are excellent.

Great for Lecture Recording
I use this along with Manfrotto 492 Micro Ball Head, 209 Tabletop Tripod Legs, and one or two 259B Extension Columns {all available from B&H) to place the LifeCam Studio about 7 feet away (use a USB extender for the extra distance) from the lecuturer and record the presentation to a notebook computer. Great quality when you don't have time or space to roll out all the bells and whistles.
