Pros: Works ok Cons: Doesn't do what the box says it can do
The side of the box leads one to expect that this camera can do 640x480 video at up to 30 fps, but don't be tricked. A closer look (which you'll do after taking it home and being VERY disapointed) shows that the exact wording is:
Pros: Easy to use. Cons: Difficult installation if you ever change operating systems. Not very good software.
I've had my IBM PC Camera for almost 2 years now. It's a pretty durable piece of equipment. I have moved several times, and have dropped it even more times (I don't like putting sticky stuff on my monitor, so it falls) and it keeps on ticking.
...
Pros: Easy to use and set up, USB connection, software CD has a lot of stuff Cons: Only functions well as a videoconferencing device
For Christmas of 2000, my mother gave me the IBM PC Camera. My stepfather, who is a techie like myself, had recommended it. It wasn't totally an altruistic gift. It was intended so that we could use videoconferencing so that she would be able to...
Pros: Cheap, Easy to install Cons: Poor framerate, Poor Quality
Let me start out straight out: this camera was an impulse buy on my part, and I will never do that again! I thought, $30 for a webcam!? How can you go wrong? Well, I did. It really is true, "you get what you pay for."
Pros: Inexpensive and easy to install. Cons: Software/Drivers on CD don't allow camera to work properly.
I decided to by a webcam after seeing a friend of mine use his while chatting on Yahoo Instant Messenger. I thought it was the coolest thing. So I decided to buy a webcam but didn't want to pay too much. I found the IBM PC Camera on sale for $20.

I don't care what price you find this camera selling for, it is a rip off. The camera has poor image quality (especially in low light), is not compatible with many basic webcam software (it wouldn't work with netmeeting), and the drivers cause other...
Pros: it's a webcam (and a darn affordable one at that). Cons: comes with useless software.
Yeah, my website gets no hits. Right now I don't really mind too much (I haven't been updating all that regularly and have began to work on a redesign recently), but there was a time where I was updating every day and getting no hits to show for it! So...
Bought it for $29 at Walmart. Returned it after one day. As some wiseman once said, if it doesn't do the job, no matter what you paid for it, it's very expensive. I think, this analogy applies very well for this IBM webcam.
Pros: Inexpensive.
Looks good in both brite and low light.
Cons: So So software package.
I've had my IBM PC Cam for about 6mos now and I have enjoyed it. There are much better(and more expensive)cams out there but if your on a budget this one does the job. I get good quality video as long as there is a good light source and compared to the...
I can second the experiences others have had with this camera - you get what you pay for. The camera has horrible performance (5 fps or so) under anything other than full bright light, and even then any lighter areas (such as you face) will become...
Pros: Price Cons: Quality, Software and Everything else
I can’t believe IBM slip this badly! I had been looking for a second PC camera for a while. Among many choices, the IBM PC Camera was reasonably priced with comparable features. Since I am a die-hard IBM fun, I decided to go with it. Then the horror...
Pros: cheap, easy to use Cons: limited options, not the best quality
The only reason I got this camera was because it was free after rebate, so I can't really complain. But it did help me with some e-selling on eBay. Since I don't own a digicam, I used this to take pictures of products I was selling and, well, it did it's...
