- Not so great in linux, fine in windowsOriginally I bought this to use it with Skype in linux (gentoo 2007.0). It is supported to a minimal extent (by a 3rd party driver, not logitech), and wouldn't work with Skype. The various hoops that had to be jumped though to get the small amount of functionality out of it that I did were certainly not worth it.
I ended up trading it with someone who had a QC Pro 4000. That camera uses the pwc driver, and works just fine (skype, mplayer, whatever). If you are using linux, I would suggest going for a 3000, 4000, or a 9000.
On the upside, this worked fine in windows (XP), so my trading it was no big deal. He didn't even have to change the driver/software from Logitech to make it work. We have used it in skype from windows many times with no problem.

- A solid (but large) web cam.Purchased this for my girlfriend so that we could skype while I was away at school. The camera was great an fit well on top of her 19" flat panel monitor. However with all the technological advances in web cams (eg. the web cam in my mac book) I do find this camera to be a little unnecessarily large... Good product for the price.

- Affordable & ReliableOur son lives and works in Costa Rica, so we needed a webcam to help us communicate with him. This device was very easy to install and works flawlessly.
I consider it a very good value for the price. Highly recommended!

- satisifedThis is the first webcam I have ever purchased. I bought it solely to communicate with someone that is long distance. I have a relatively new iMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 software running on it. After downloading skype, it was plug and go. Easy to use and sufficient for communicating with friends, especially for the reasonable price. Because it is on a mac, any of the additional features the camera may come with do not work, no zoom or anything, so if you are looking for something with a lot of features this is not for you. I am happy with the purchase as it does what I need it to do but it would be nice if it did more. It sits fine on my flat panel monitor but sufficient lighting is important as it otherwise tends to be a little dark. There is a slight delay when I move around... as I said good for communication with friends and family but that's about it. Also, sound is fine with the built in speakers but if you desire to speak privately - you may wish to look into headphones so everyone else isn't in on your conversation. I have not tried any out to know which are compatible...
