We had this up and running in five minutes - plugged it into my monitor, inserted the CD-Rom, ran the installation software, and we were ready to roll. My kids and I have had a lot of fun playing with this webcam, making movies, taking pictures, and e-mailing them to friends/family.
The picture quality is quite good (you can choose the quality you want), and you can quickly take pictures by touching the silver button next to the lens - it will even turn on the webcam if it is off.
We've had the most fun with videos though, as we do not have a digital video camera. The cord is about 4-5 feet long, and the camera has a handle, so you have some flexibility in terms of moving away from the computer to film. Sometimes if the kids are moving actively, there is a lag between their verbalizations and their movements, but they think that is cool.
We've enjoyed playing around with the built-in special effects too - nothing too extraordinary but still fun - put a crown on your head, replace yourself with a cat that is supposed to mimic your moves, show yourself in grainy b&w old-time TV mode, etc...
Anyway, I made a video so you can see how the camera works for yourself. I uploaded it to Amazon, and also YouTube, although I guess Amazon is going to take out the link (if there are three dots below, the link didn't go through), but you can search YouTube for "LearningAllTheTime Logitech Camera" and find my video sample there if you can't see it on Amazon.

Anyway, I think this would make a great gift for any computer or gadget lover.
