This camera has worked well for my purpose, which is just talking with my girlfriend on Skype while she's away. It has good clarity, although if you move around too much, the autofocus seems to get a little confused and the picture becomes blurry, but it's easy to quickly "refresh" the camera by turning video off, then back on. My biggest complaint is it seems to freeze up quite a bit, while my girlfriend's webcam that came built in to her Toshiba laptop never freezes. When it freezes, sometimes I'll have to "refresh" the camera and sometimes it will unfreeze itself. Also, in order to have a clear enough picture, the camera needs a fair amount of light, so don't try to use it in the dark - you won't be able to see anything!
