  Summary: I buy one by Walmart recently . I find that she loss completely his sharpeness (focus) after a few minutes of use by using Skype . I got another one from Walmart and i had the same problem again.
  I gave up and got my money back. It's the first time i had a so bad dream with a product like this.
  I will never buy anymore a Logitec product.

  Amazing quality for the price

  by wolverine486 on July 16, 2010

  Pros: -Easy to setup
  -Works well with chat programs like Skype, Camfrog, Yahoo, Live
  -Works with Windows 7 64-bit
  -Good quality video at 1280 x 1024
  -Decent quality microphone
  -If you do have to contact Logitech, their support is second to none.

  Cons: -Version 2 of the LWS doesn't work with this webcam, even though it is listed on Logitech's website as the latest version.
  -Face tracking, although works the majority of the time, in poor lighting it is hit and miss.

  Summary: I originally purchased Microsoft's Lifecam VX-2000 for $20 and thought the quality of that was good. Then when I saw the Logitech C500 on sale ($35) I thought I'd give it a try before returning the Lifecam.
  Comparing the two side-by-side was like night and day. In every category this webcam beat out Microsoft's. From the higher resolution, to a clearer video picture, to the extra effects and the microphone.
  
  I'm definitely happy I purchased this webcam and would highly recommend it.

  Summary: I bought this in Feb 2010 at a retailer for $42. I origianally wanted one specifically for notebooks, but decided to go with one that could be used on my desktop PC also. I got it home, installed the software and hooked up the samera. That was it. I set up an account with Logitech Vid and Skype. This camera works well, take nice still photos, and the video is surprisingly good for the price paid. The face tracking works extremely well, zooming and audio is also wonderful. So, after just a couple hours of use, I give the C500 a great rating.
