Sharpest picture available on a USB camera - bar none!

by dtoombs , Sep 20 '01
Pros: Astounding image quality, incredible compensation for low-light environments, can run multiple cameras
Cons: Driver software from 3Com could use a bit of work

A Camera to Smile for!

by AsaR , May 29 '00
Pros: compact, USB, easy to use, good image

Lots of fun, could be easier to use

Pros: High quality images, even in very low light
