Lousy little critter

Written: Jul 01 '01
Pros:Built in microphone, fairly good picture
Cons:Lousy footholder, extremely poor customer service (drivers). Driver not compatible with OS its written for.
The Bottom Line: Dont buy. The trouble you get by trying to install is avoidable, buy a logitech instead (or other). Philips has proven once again that they should stick to IC's

This webcam would be good if it wasnt for the poor drivers. I received a floppy disk and a cdrom and the floppy had newer drivers!? which are the only ones that work which renders the cdrom useless (all Windows versions). Go for a logitech cam instead. I have always had trouble with Philips products. This is no exception. Ok, the bottomline is that the camera is fairly good in taking pictures and as a "cam" for the web and such. But the poor support for the camera on the philips website makes this camera pretty useless. I have never had this kind of trouble finding drivers as with this webcam. One important feature of webcams are the "feet" that makes it possible to position camera on the desktop. This webcam has so poor feet that its better to use the camera without them. Which of course means that you end up with a tilting camera, Not good.

Recommended: No
