 Just go with a Logitech March 10, 2010
J. Berkheimer (San Francisco CA USA)
I forgot how poorly Microsoft handles hardware. I tried for two days to get the camera operational, I even went as far as installing MS Windows Live in hopes that this was required to run the camera. But after all of my efforts, I never got my computer to recognize the camera. MS Customer Service was a nightmare as well. I decided that I will take this hit of $30 and go buy a Logitech device.
 Bad Mic March 8, 2010
Henry Y. Shen (Santa Clara, CA United States)
I haven't really used the built-in mic coming with this web cam until today when I found an annoying background noise with it. You know I'm a PC fan and IT professional. I'm very familiar with PC and its peripherals and how to trouble shoot them. The thing is: the built-in mic of my PC works perfectly, which means you just can't blame the sound card or its driver. I searched online and found quite some complaint against VX-3000's noise. Seems my unit is broken: the advertised noise-canceling doesn't work at all!
It's not a big deal because every PC has a mic port now, but the bad thing is: you THOUGHT it work as advertised, with noise-canceling offering crystal clear recording, bluh, bluh, bluh, when in reality it doesn't work that way, and you got pissed off :-)
Why they want to put a mic there inside a webcam? The common sense is those "x-in-1" things are more prone to problems than devices with dedicated features. I won't buy any webcam+mic any more.
Like being there March 6, 2010

My kids are married or off to college. It's better than texting or talking on the phone. They like the experience too. Great tool for staying in touch.

 Dissapointed March 3, 2010
Gwen D. Orton (Salt Lake)
This product did not live up to the advertised hype. I installed it on a laptop and the picture was poor quality. I then installed it on a desk top with the same results. One using Windows Vista and the other using Windows XP Pro.
I expedted a great deal more from Microsoft.
