Excellent webcam August 3, 2008

The product is easy to install and use, no issues when used with Skype and other programs. Great resolution and color reality. Software is reliable and easy to use.
 Good Quality--Works with PC and MAC May 16, 2008

This product works better on a PC than a MAC. On the PC, the camera, will follow you if you move around--it doesn't do this on the MAC. On the other hand, I find PC's to be a PITA to work with--it works, but it is not as easy as using on a MAC. Note I did not try this with iMovie. On the Mac it worked with PhotoBooth and iChat.
At present I use it on a Mac Mini hooked up to a flat panel TV. My 15 year old niece loves it. The size of this display and the farther distance away from the camera, provides a better field of view and an in-your-face camera.
I personally, rarely use it, but I can see the potential for as a video phone. I wish more of my friends and family had similar set-ups, as it would be great to see people at a distance and be able to talk to them.
I highly recommend the Mac Mini hooked up to a flat panel. I also use a Mac Wireless keyboard and just ordered a Bluetooth TrackBall. By the way, the Mac Mini has worked great for web browsing. Hit "Command" and "+" to zoom text sizes to read the news from across the room. Very cool.
Overall, I think this is a great webcam. It has pretty good color and makes a good sharp image. I wish it has still higher resolution, but it does it's job well. You can't go wrong for this price also.

I've had a couple of cheaper webcams but this one is well worth the money. It has a great picture even with poor lighting.
 Great Lens? The Outer Lens Is Plastic, Not Glass! May 3, 2008
J. Levesque
I've purchased several Logitech webcams in the past with the two most recent being Logitech Ultra Vision webcams. The first Logitech Ultra Vision I had was the white model.. looks the same, but just white. It ran well on my Dell XPS computer running Vista Ultimate though the software had been buggy from time to time causing occasional issues. My black Logitech Ultra Vision SE has had issues from day one using the same computer and operating system. I dont'know why. I've had audio issues I haven't been able to resolve no matter how careful I installed their software always by the book I might mention - even reinstalling the operating system twice starting from scratch! The audio on this Logitech Ultra Vision SE has been distorted when using the built-in microphone with Skype. It has sounded over-modulated causing distortion to the point that people I'd talk with using Skype could hardly understand me. I never had this problem with my white Ultra Vision webcam.
The other thing I want to mention concerns the outer lens on this camera. Web-sites along with Logitech have claimed the lens to be "all glass" and that's bull***. The outer lens is not made of glass! It's made of plastic! Even Logitech customer service admitted it when I emailed them. I had taken my Ultra Vision Web-Cam apart before throwing it out. I wanted to check-out the lens. I tapped on it with a small, metal screwdriver, even tapped on it with my teeth! It sounded plastic and was plastic. How many web-sites have been selling this web-cam claiming it has an "All-Glass" lens?? It doesn't!! I even took a small knife to the outer lens and easily scratched it deeply! I haven't checked the inner lens assembly to see what the inner lenses are made of. It had been too difficult to disassemble and I didn't care at that point.
I'm running a Dell XPS 410 PC with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit with an Intel Core 2 Duo 6700 processor, 8 gigs of Kingston 800MHz DDR2 RAM and two hard-drives being run in raid 0 array. My computer kicks butt, runs great without the Ultravision Web cam and the Logitech software! Logitech software has sucked, plain and simple... and now they've been caught in a lie having advertised the Ultra Vision having an "all-glass" lens.
Great Cam, price a little steep for what it does May 3, 2008

ok.... 2 things... It is a very well made cam (it doesn't feel like a flimsy plastic web cam), and it works on both mac and pc...
i have a mac and a pc in my house, and i really like the fact that i can bring it back and forth between computers.... while on the mac it was easier to install (just plug it in, and restart the comp), on the pc it has alot of features which are not available on the mac version (like the auto lighting feature, the "follow me" feature, etc.)
pros:
WORKS ON MAC! with no drivers to download! and without having to use Macam
when using on windows, it's a very high quality camera and the features are incredible
the microphone is cristal clear
you can pretty much mount it on any monitor (with the exception of laptops)
even without the additional features on the mac, it still looks alot clearer than the "isight" that comes with the new macs
the "low light mode" is simply AMAZING! i was in a pitch dark room and it looked clear as day
cons:
DOES NOT WORK WITH IMOVIE! imovie requires a firewire hdcam to work... so this is only for use with im programs (ichat, skype, etc..)
expenssive.. i paid $140 @ the apple store (should have bought it on amazon! lol)
it's a little bulky..
the zoom is not optical, it's digital, therefore, the more you zoom in, the grainier and more pixelated it looks.
that's pretty much it... overall i think it's a great product.. and until Steve Jobs and apple get a little smarter and realize that people wanna have the option to buy usb cams for their macs, im gonna have to deal with it~
