Labtec Webcam Pro, Purchased May 5, 2005, $29.95 I would classify this camera as a low end camera which is either no longer being manufactured or will shortly be discontinued. The image is about normal for cameras within this price range. Not hard to set up, however, after installing the drivers I was unable to get any of my other webcams to work on that machine until I reinstalled their individual drivers. While the drivers have a good set of controls with sliders for white balance, exposure and gain, the camera was easily overwhelmed with my daylight setup and I couldn't get a good exposure. With incandescent room lighting, the image had problems with contrast and was rather dark. Not my first choice for a low end camera.
