Image quality is good for this camera and it works well in low light compared to other webcams on the market. The built in microphone also works very well with apps such as Skype and Facetime. The lense is glass and the body is metal so contruction is top notch. Bought to use on a Mac Pro and it just works after you plug it in. Remember you get what you pay for so don't expect professional video cam quality from a $50 webcam. For what you pay for this little gem it performs well and does it's job.

Windows 10 easily recognizes Microsoft webcam and sets it up but image is too dark in skype even though it is good in Camera app. No adjustments allowed in skype. Online search showed others had similar issues . Solution is to download and install older skype version which allows adjustments to brighness and focus and that works. Others mentioned option to download windows 8 version of camera driver but that did not work.

The Microsoft LifeCam Cinema [MSRP $80] is, all in all, an excellent webcam. The picture and video are clear, the mic is responsive but not overly sensitive, and setup is very easy. The mounting system is pretty versatile, allowing the cam to sit on just about anything you want it to. The base should be wider, with tabs on either side to prevent accidental jostling or rocking, but it does well enough the way it is. My only complaint is with the software. It's intuitive, easy to use, and has plenty of neat little features, but it's lacking one very important feature: there's no timer. No way to take delayed shots at all, without the use of third party software. Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed. A camera timer is a fairly basic feature, and given the price of this webcam, I would think it should be included. Other than that, it's a great buy, and I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a high quality webcam for a fair price.Read full review
This camera is said to be certified for Skype. I used it with the current version of Skype on the current update of Windows 10. The picture is very dark even compared to Windows' Camera app quality. Skype does not have any camera controls, as well as the camera itself. Unlike Logitec, Microsoft did not produce dedicated camera control software. Sometimes Skype does not even recognize the camera while the camera microphone works okay. Camera design is about 10 years old, however, it is still offered by Microsoft in their online store and one might assume that it should be compatible with the current Microsoft systems. But it is not the case. I am disappointed. I would have returned it if I did not get it for half of the regular price.

The LifeCam uses a nice design that focuses on keeping things compact. It looks cool and is much less clunky than older webcams. The body is made of an aluminum barrel that is both attractive and sturdy. If the aluminum was used to make the cam rugged and portable then Microsoft should have included some sort of cap so that the glass could be protected when traveling, but nothing was included. The flexible stand is rubberized for improved grip and it works well with any display, from a deep 24-inch LCD to a laptop’s lid. The top of the cam is home to a button for taking photos and a digital microphone. Overall, it’s a very nice webcam with a complete feature set and solid hardware. The installation could have been smoother and the included software is just OK, but those are minor issues. The LifeCam Cinema brings users high-quality HD recording, quick and accurate autofocus, and acceptable sound quality. If you are looking for an HD webcam, this one looks like a safe bet.Read full review
