good for budget, bad for business

The Labtec webcam is great for eBay photos, but when it comes to fine detail at a distance, it leaves something to be desired.

Unlike the Kensington Webcam I was using before I got this one, the Labtec Webcam is compatible with Windows XP. I have also used it on Win 95 and Millenium and I have not had a problem with it.

Even if you lose the software all you need to do is plug it into the USB port, and Windows will recognize it (Me and XP anyway). You can then go to Labtec's website and redownload the software drivers.

It can be difficult to keep it still when using the rubber stand though. The base isn't that stable, so if you're recording videos you'll probably want to weigh it down with a book or something. The light weight and stiff cord cause the camera to move by itself along the surface, so it can be difficult to get still shots.

I bought it from my friend for 15 bucks so I really can't complain about it. I rarely use it for videos anyway, just to take ebay pictures.
