I have kindly been supplied this webcam to review by the wonderful people over at BigPockets.co.uk. Usually I expect webcams to be of poor quality (probably due to the hunk of junk I have been using), but when I saw what this one can produce my view was changed. Lets take a look...

What you get...
When you open up the box you are greeted by...
-The Webcam itself
-A Microphone and clip
-A Manual
-2 CD-Roms

The Manual and one CD-Rom

The Microphone, just your standard mic - with attached clip

The Webcam - Ain't she a beaut?!

The Beast...
Now to cover the actual camera in more detail.

This is what you'll see during your video conference sessions and what-not when the camera is pointing directly at you. The ring you can see around the lens is twisted to adjust the focus of the camera.

Here you can see the camera, angled on its base - it is totally free to move because its a ball and socket joint.

Another, showing how far the camera can tilt back - good for if you have it on your desk looking up at you.

Hehe, this demonstrates how the camera is free to rotate through 360 degrees in the base.

The base itself has a rubbery finish to the bottom, this is really useful compared to other webcams i've used where they just slide around all over the place, even the cable can move them if not positioned right. But this one is brilliant - stays firmly in its place, doesnt allow the cable to push it around.

The Software
Along with the drivers you get a nice little selection of software with the camera...
-Liquid Pics II
-Video Suite
-Code 37

I wont go into detail about the software, just a quick blurb for each one. I can assure you there is enough there to get you started, and then you've got your standard Netmeeting, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ etc. that it can be used with.

Liquid Pics II is a full-featured, easy-to-use photo-fun application for computer users of all ages and abilities. It provides a wide variety of imaging features such as photo enhancement, distortion and warping effects, creation of photo compositions, magazine covers, greeting cards, postcards and more.
In addition, multimedia slide shows can be generated, photos can be printed in a variety of formats, saved as HTML documents for use on the web or sent to family and friends via e-mail.

Video Suite: With Software Dynamics' Video Suite you can be recording, editing and processing videos, developing your own 3D logos and creating special effects morphs in minutes. The Media Manager is particularly handy, as it facilitates locating the media files you need. In addition, you cna turn your favourite videos into screensavers.

Code37: With code37 you finally get to be the hero in the games worlds of Counter Strike, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament or The Sims. It only takes a few minutes for code37 to generate a 3d model of a human head from just two digital photos. Guaranteed they'll think its you.

Along with those titles you get an extra CD which includes both MGI VideoWave and PhotoSuite.

What can she do?
Here are some examples of photos I've taken with this camera. Click the first two for a larger image.

As you can see, the text came out very good.

Not as clear, but still excellent for a webcam of this price, and probably made worse by the user aswell. ;)

Conclusion
I highly recommend this webcam to everyone who wants a webcam under about £60 to buy this one. It is absolutely excellent for the money, well, excellent in general really - it outperforms a lot of other webcams I have seen, and for the price of one of those you could buy two of these and give one to a mate!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
