I really like the form factor of this camera, because it's quite small and has some very nice attachment options (laptop clip and desktop monitor mount). Unfortunately I found that the image quality left quite a bit to be desired. Even at 320 x 240 resolution, there is extremely noticeable aliasing of straight lines, and the overall picture quality is very grainy. In addition, this camera performs extremely poorly in low-light conditions, much worse than the older Xirlink IBM PC Camera (no longer produced as far as I know) which I am currently using. Finally, the focusing feature seems to be a poor joke at best, with hardly any noticeable difference made before and after attempting to focus it. Or at least that's how it appeared, through all the graininess.

Another lousy camera. Does not work with XP. Read a similar review, posted by someone else for the camera IC100C by the same company.
The product box is misleading, says its compatible with XP, but the user manual inside does not include XP in the list of compatible OS. The installation software does not work with Windows XP.
The customer service is also very poor. I called 2 times, each time I was asked to leave a message. No one called me back. I returned the camera, I had bought it from Office Max. I think I will go with a Logitech product.

I thought that since this model was priced higher than the other MI models, it would perform better, but was greatly mistaken. The image quality for video conferencing is poor (very grainy) and does not do well even with all the lights turned on in my home. Also, the program it comes with does not seem to function well with my computer (Win 98): the computer freezes when I attempt to record a video clip.
The design of the webcam was pretty good though. It can be clipped to the screen of my laptop and seemed sturdy enough, although very small and a little toy-like.
Due to the poor video quality and poor light pick-up, I returned my purchase and am still searching for replacement.

This camera works ok in windows 2000 but does not work at all with XP. I feel ripped off and will never buy a Micro Innovations product ever again.

I had the unfortunate chance to use this camera whilst staying with a friend. The quality is poor, grainy, and though it tracks well, the picture is inconsistant. The software may as well have been written by a five year old for all the good it works with XP. I liked the look, but even with all the lights turned directly in your face the picture quality is poor at best. Spend your money on something better, this product is definately a waste of hard earned cash.
