I purchased this webcam based on the great reviews. At first, I was disappointed and considered returning it because the frame rate was so slow. I am running a Pentium 4. 2.8Ghz. with 512MB RAM, so I was surprised at the slow frame rate I was getting when capturing video, and I tried all 3 video quality settings (E-mail, VGA, and HD modes) offered in the Quickcam settings.
Come to find out, the issue went away when I disabled the RightLight feature. This feature allows lighting compensation in a dimly lit room. This would be useful if it did not slow down the frame rate so much, so I disabled this feature, and the webcam works perfectly now. I just make sure I have enough lighting in the room.
With Right Light enabled - audio was not matching with the video, and any movements were blurred, even slight movements of your hands would be blurry. The capture rate was extremely slow.
With Right Light disabled - video and audio sync, no blurriness, the webcam works great!
I have not tried it through any video-conferencing or IM programs (Yahoo, Skype or other).
I would recommend this webcam, but if the room in which it is used is dimly lit, then add more lighting. Otherwise, the frame speed is greatly reduced, affecting overall image quality.
