macally MEGACAM

I purchased this Macally MegaCam Oct 2012. Using WINXP SP3 on an older Dell D620. This camera is clear and responsive. The auto light correction is good and the built-in mic works well. I have not used it that much in almost 3 years, but when I have...

I don't care for WIN8 because it's a resource hog, but related to this camera, I don't know if it will operate under WIN8. I use either XP, WIN7, or Linux. I will not upgrade to bloatware. I like my systems to run my apps and games, not waste resources...

Still images are decent. What's nice is the way it adjusts itself with room lighting so the picture comes in clear.

Video is choppy. Almost completely unusable. The problem is, when the camera auto-adjusts for lighting, the video slows down. I'm going to guess the little processor inside isn't strong enough to handle both video and picture quality at the same time,...

Its a good picture taking webcam

I've used this webcam with all three major OS platforms and during use, it would slowly degrade in quality. The camera becomes unusable and very choppy after about 5 minutes of use

Great picture quality for stills or recording video

Terrible fps in webchat, like Skype and iChat. Averaged about 5fps, if that

Good for its price and my use, which is an occasional video chat or troll on the internet. Microphone is good quality

Kind of grainy ; This is just a slight con, but it leans slightly to the right and is rather annoying to see me tilted

Good quality picture even in poor lighting, fair sound quality.

Very low FPS in web chat.
