Title of review Not worth a penny
What are the strengths? - None, so far
What are the weaknesses? - Only 15fps when using 640x480 with QuickCam Software.
- When using in bright(er) lighting conditions, picture burns through.


Summary Specs on retail box and on Logitech webpage are incorrect.

"Capture high-quality VGA (640 x 480) video":
I tried to capture and only could do 15fps, I asked Logitech and they replied:
"I would like to inform you that you will not be able to record videos with QuickCam software with the following fps and resolution combination.
- 15 fps at 640 x 480 and higher "

RightLight is completely useless feature:
There should some feature that allows picture to be darker. Now picure is too bright and totally useless when used in sun is shining.

"Up to 30 frames per second"
If You can find a software for it. Logitechs own software does not support 30fps @ 640x480


It is really amazing that big company like Logitech cheats like this. Up 'till now I thought I could get my moneys worth when buying major label. Next time I'll buy non-brand product. It might not work any better, but at least they are cheaper.

I would not recommend this camera to anyone...
