Strengths: vx-3000 works great with all of the instant messenger programs.
Weaknesses:The windows live button only work with MSN windows live calling...I don't find it useful at all.
Overall Evaluation: Great webcam. Don't bother with other brands especially phillips. This webcam simplified my instant messenger experience. It also replaced my headset because the camera has a mic on it also.

Strengths: Inexpensive, built-in microphone
Weaknesses:Call button only works with Microsoft software
Overall Evaluation: I'm actually surprised by how impressed I was with this camera. From the box to using the camera was only a matter of minutes. It was easy to figure out how to use it with various software and the microphone works great. I've used mine in my office (a quiet room) and can walk 10-15 feet away and still be heard. The resolution is good and captures enough frames per minute that it's not terribly jerky like some older cameras. A great buy for the price, but definitely keep your eye out for rebates!!!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Price paid
Weaknesses:Could be improved
Overall Evaluation: Be sure to adjust focus ring. Passable audio from the built-in microphone. However, the button on the top of the camera works only with Microsoft Life Messenger. Too bad it is useless using Skype or Google Talk.For the price paid ($6.59) plus coupons - my daughter loved it.Actually, 3.5 stars for this simple, easy and nice looking webcam.

Strengths: Good picture quality, worth of money
Weaknesses:NA
Overall Evaluation: We bought this to speak with family in Australia and have been very impressed. Works great with Windows Messenger and the quality of the voice and picture have been better than expected. Installation was a snap once we adjusted our firewall settings. No doubt this is an excellent value for the money.

Strengths: Price after rebate.
Weaknesses:Not that good without built-in mic.
Overall Evaluation: Installation was easy and performance was good enough. Use this as an upgrade for our desktop's 3 year old webcam. Stills are satisfactory.Would be very good if it goes with a mic.Well, for the price paid after rebate, $15 - highly recommended.
