Mac Support and bringing a world closer together - I had this product on my wishlist, and my parents bought it for me for xmas. They also got one for themselves, so I was able to see and talk to them for xmas, even though I couldn t make it home. :) I ve also had a video chat with my aunt and uncle. It was great to be able to see someone I m talking to, who s 2500 miles away. :)Although this product is not officially supported on Macs, it does work as long as you have 10.4.something or higher. You just plug it in, and it works. Skype picked it up and started working. It doesn t allow all of the features, cause there is no Logitech supported software for this camera on the mac. But it will work as a basic camera and microphone right out of the box. :) The lack of Logitech support for the Mac in general is why this lost 1 star for me. There is no good reason for them NOT to update their existing software for the mac to support this, but they didn t.One other use I found for it is work. I often go into the office and use the whiteboard with a few other people. Most times, it would be very helpful if other people were in the room, that can t be. So I did a basic test, and was able to point the camera at a whiteboard, and share it with others. At the high resolution, the refresh rate is bad, but it doesn t matter with a static white board. ,)

great webcam - Excellent Quality. It s almost as good as actually being with the person. Performance will vary depending on what software you use. I used Skype and it was great. It wasn t as clear using gmail video chat.

Logitech QuickCam Pro for notebooks is a fantastic deal. - I can t believe how well this little camera works! [...]. It works great. The picture is crystal clear. The setup was simple and 5 minutes after I loaded the software I was on line with my sister at the Cape from my house in New Hampshire. She purchased the Logitech 9000 Pro and both cameras did an equally great job. I would have bought this camera a lot sooner if I had known how inexpensive and easy to use it is.

Fun Little Camera - I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She s been having lots of fun with it. She started out by taking pictures of herself as a pirate, a robot, a Queen, a sea captain...and more. Now she uses it mostly to see her friends who are scattered all over the country.

Fantastic on Skype - This camera works like a charm on Skype all over the world. Clear as a bell picture and sound quality. And the great pouch they enclose to keep it in for travel is perfect. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone! Really it the best.
