After reading the other reviews I thought I had to leave a quick note. I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever with the camera turning off, or the software crashing. At first I was mainly disappointed about the fact that the image was so dark, in my quite well lit room, and seemed out of focus and blurry. I solved the darkness issue easily - just turn off the auto exposure and whack the exposure on full, increase gamma and brightness a bit and bingo. The image is still pretty disappointing, for recording to your computer that is, but I guess for actual video conferencing it is probably adequate.
It is tiny and well designed, except that is has no left - right rotation, which would seem a fairly easy addition to the design.
The software is OK, a good point being the ease of selecting different video compression and audio compression.
Maybe they could somehow make the image a decent standard and it would be a real winner. As it is this is a mediocre web cam.
