What do people say

First of all, the webcam arrive nicely packaged. The directions were clear and it was easy to set up.
I discussed timing of our first webcam visit with my daughter, and I practiced at home. The evening arrived,
my grandson came in loud and clear. He looked so cute. I found for our use that the microphone was perfect.
My grandson has a low soft voice, but I could understand him clearly, and he me.
We webcam weekly and have become old pros. I can watch my grandson as he grows. I can read him a bedtime story. We keep in touch, and we love it.

When I saw the Lifecam Cinema, it caught my eyes because of the look. It has resemblance of the Apple iSight but of course the color is different. The build is definitely no cheap quality plastic. It was made out of aluminum! Look is great but I wasn’t sure if it’s a UVC camera. But what the heck, in case it didn’t work, I will just return it!
Plug it into my OSX86 snow leopard (hackintosh), camera works right out of the box with no extra kext installed, so I can confirm it’s a UVC camera. Quality under OSX is definitely acceptable, both Skype & iChat can detect and use the camera. The microphone works with no issue as well.
On the Windows side, definitely no issue whatsoever, Windows 7 doesn’t even require me putting the CD into the drive for the Lifecam software. It pulled from MS server automatically.
