Strengths: its good at causing errors with microsoft
Weaknesses:never been able to use this camera to its fullest
Overall Evaluation: This cam is the worse I have ever owned! I have owned several good cams since the mid 90s but were not compatible with newer OSs as they came out. This cam has always had driver issues that conflict with Microsoft OS. Microsoft web cam that didn't work with their own OS. I always kept drivers up to date and with every new release the issue starts again. The only drivers that ever part-time worked were ver. 1.3 I have owned this cam several years now and finaly threw it away. PIECE OF CRAP!

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.
