IBM PC Camera Webcam: When 640x480 doesn't mean 640x480

Tue, 21 May 2002 00:09:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skintigh - The side of the box leads one to expect that this camera can do 640x480 video at up to 30 fps, but don't be tricked. A closer look (which you'll do after taking it home and being VERY disapointed) shows that the exact wording is:

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kimbonovich - I've had my IBM PC Camera for almost 2 years now. It's a pretty durable piece of equipment. I have moved several times, and have dropped it even more times (I don't like putting sticky stuff on my monitor, so it falls) and it keeps on ticking.

IBM PC Camera Webcam: IBM PC Camera -- good for videoconferencing and not much more.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kurt_g - For Christmas of 2000, my mother gave me the IBM PC Camera. My stepfather, who is a techie like myself, had recommended it. It wasn't totally an altruistic gift. It was intended so that we could use videoconferencing so that she would be able to...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: You get what you pay for!

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Okay for chat room lurkers

Wed, 12 Sep 2001 13:06:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author hey_melanie - This cam was an impulse purchase for me, thought it might be a nice toy to have. I was wrong.

The instructions which accompanied the cam were vague (at best) and very brief. On many issues the user is left to "figure it out for himself,"...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Yes, a Webcam! Show Us Your Tits!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emptywishes - Yeah, my website gets no hits. Right now I don't really mind too much (I haven't been updating all that regularly and have began to work on a redesign recently), but there was a time where I was updating every day and getting no hits to show for it! So...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Unless you want to waste your money..

Sat, 30 Jun 2001 16:41:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rashmi338 - Bought it for $29 at Walmart. Returned it after one day. As some wiseman once said, if it doesn't do the job, no matter what you paid for it, it's very expensive. I think, this analogy applies very well for this IBM webcam.

This is a very...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Especially bad low-light performance

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 18:02:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author martinek - I can second the experiences others have had with this camera - you get what you pay for. The camera has horrible performance (5 fps or so) under anything other than full bright light, and even then any lighter areas (such as you face) will become...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author buckiscool - I can’t believe IBM slip this badly! I had been looking for a second PC camera for a while. Among many choices, the IBM PC Camera was reasonably priced with comparable features. Since I am a die-hard IBM fun, I decided to go with it. Then the horror...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Worth it's price...FREE ;)

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 05:51:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rikkigirl - The only reason I got this camera was because it was free after rebate, so I can't really complain. But it did help me with some e-selling on eBay. Since I don't own a digicam, I used this to take pictures of products I was selling and, well, it did it's...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author califmagic - Initially, I purchased this Product because of the Name Recognition and the Price Point....along with a $10 rebate at the time I purchased it. This was to be my FIRST USB connection on my upgraded computer, and even though I followed the Installation...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author OldPoop - I bought this sucker to talk to my friends and/or relatives with pictures, I haven't decided if I want to do this over the internet or straight telephone. I was going to give one to my cousin, and bought an Intel (with video capture) for myself. When he...

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 16:25:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author basilisk4 - Like the average computer user, I don't do a whole lot of teleconferencing or anything like that, so I don't have a whole lot of use for a PC camera. My father had a spare one that he had gotten for free with his new IBM laptop, however, and he asked me...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Not Worth Your Money

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 17:32:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Cornell2000 - While this product does what its advertising indicates, it is not really that useful because there are many superior cameras available now. I think the image quality is OK, but often times there are a lot of little dots that make the image look like it...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: One for the Bargain

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author frankenstein - IBM PC Camera is performance for your money. A price tag of $29 will give all you bargain hunters a rest, however, for those hard, ardent webcam users; this is not enough.

Hard-rock users should consider the Intel PC Camera for its better...

IBM PC Camera Webcam: Low-priced and reasonable

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 23:18:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leetucker1 - This camera is not great or superb, nor is it horrible. It is good at what it does, but there's nothing that makes it stand out from the crowd. Ultimately, if you want an inexpensive camera for stills or videoconferencing, this will work just fine...
