Aww, you should’ve used Newegg. They’ve got EVERYTHING cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104255

The lighting on your face looks good — a lot of cheapie webcams blow it out. I’ll definitely put this one at the top of my list for consideration. Thanks Nixie!

Hah, I was just looking for webcams too a day ago… needed it to specifically work with skype, and ubuntu wiki entry said this about it:

“Works perfectly, microphone also once upgraded uvcvideo driver to v166 or above”

So I skipped it, since if I’m buying a new webcam, I might as well get one that works perfectly. So went with an HP 2 megapixel one – and it worked perfectly right from plugging it in.

I would defiantly consider this camera next time i get one. But my question is does it function ok on ubuntu?

First, the diagram…then you said “…by a p*ssy…or a cat.” Lol, good save. Pretty funny for a product review. Definitely agree on the resource hog part. I also own this camera, which I mainly got for high quality video on Skype. I also agree that it’s an excellent product. Thanks for the review.
