Does the Job

I tried many different web cam and frankly you get what you pay for. Many of the cheaper cams require the light of the sun to work. This cam has an excellent picture quality and works well under most typical light conditions. Software selection is OK and the focus ring is nice and big. Plus you get a nifty little headset. Like most cams, it is made out of cheap plastic and the base is lightweight. I use mine on an LCD panel by using a Valcro "dot" and this seems to work well. The only other cameras that compare are the expensive Logitech. I don't think you can go wrong with either but the EX has warmer and richer colors.
