Microsoft Lifecam Show 2.0MP Ultra Thin Autofocus Webcam W/ Noise Cancellation
Cons:-USB cord is too short, barely reaches the desktop.-Hard to align properly, as the short cord will tilt the cam on the magnet.-Colours were really off the first time I used it. Seems to be OK since then. Think it is the autofocus feature that was doing it.

Pros:-Got it cheap-Magnets are useful, if a bit finicky.-Video is good when it works-Audio is good
Comment:
Decent webcam if it is on sale. Would get something else if not. Used for Skype, works well.

Microsoft Lifecam Show 2.0MP Ultra Thin Autofocus Webcam W/ Noise Cancellation
Cons:-The magnetic hold mechanism can sometimes make it tricky to straighten the camera-The camera gets pretty hot to the touch after a few minutes of use

Pros:-Good mic quality-Decent picture
Comment:
For the $20 I paid, this thing feels like a great bargain. The mic quality is very good, and the picture is much better than the old VGA (640x480) resolution camera I used to use. It's compact and very simple to use.My only real complaint lies with the magnetic holding mechanism. It is strong enough that I'm sure the camera won't fall off, but its rounded nature gives it a tendency to tilt the camera slightly to the side. Oh, and the camera gets pretty warm after use. I don't think it warrants any concern though.So yeah, overall, I'd recommend this to someone who is looking for a cheap and good webcam for video calls, voice conferences, and such.

Cons:Short Usb Cable

Pros:Multiple Mount SystemRemarkably good image and microphone
Comment:
Very Good product for a very good price if on sale ($20-30 range)The magnetic attachment system is great, but coupled with a short cable, if you try to put it too far from the plug, it can tend to sit sideways (rotated), and the software has no way to compensate.

Cons:Cable is a bit stiff

Pros:Small, carry case, great quality
Comment:
A great camera. Bought two of these for keeping in touch with the girlfriend while travelling. The cable is a bit stiff when mounting using the magnets, it tends to make adjusting the angle difficult. Aside from that a great product!

Microsoft Lifecam Show 2.0MP Ultra Thin Autofocus Webcam W/ Noise Cancellation
Cons:The resolution is not very clear

Pros:very light and small
Comment:
bought this for use on video chatting. The quality of the video is not as good as I'd imagined from Microsoft. in video mode, this web cam can only record at 800*600. This is a very low resolution. I compared it with the webcam on my laptop (bought last year, also a 2.0 MP) and I found that the webcam on my laptop is better than this one. But for $20, it is a great buy.

Cons:Couldn't find any!

Pros:Thin - if you need a thin camPrice - picked this little guy up for about 20$ which for me was the main reason I picked it upMagnetic attachments
Comment:
Really enjoyed playing around with this little camera. Works well so far with MSN and Skype. Didn't notice anything poor with the picture quality. The little magnets you can stick to items in order to mount the camera on those magnets is a great idea if you don't want to use the stand that comes with it. Main selling feature was the price I picked it up for at 20$.

Microsoft Lifecam Show 2.0MP Ultra Thin Autofocus Webcam W/ Noise Cancellation
Cons: mediocre quality15 FPS instead of 30

Pros: Easy mountingultra thin+portable
Comment:
Very good buy for the price I got it at (really, REALLY not worth the original 80 dollars). Do NOT install the software CD because its a waste of space and takes ages. This thing works with plug and play. Do not install the associated windows update  either because that will just make you install the software. I love the mounting system, but the magnetic disc they give you for mounting is hard to remove once you stick on your monitor so pinpoint the exact position before you stick it on. It also offers a clip mount and stand mount. The wire is a bit short. If your monitor is far from your desktop you might need an extension. It's perfect for laptops thoughPicture lags slightly since its 15 FPS. sound is a little light but the noise canceling works to a certain degree. Good product overall.

Cons: Image quality

Pros: Stylish ThinSmall Price Mic Magnetic Attachments
Comment:
Overall for the price I paid (20.00)its a very neat webcam that is very stylish and attaches to any surface thanks to the 2 extra sticky magnetic holders. Video and Mic works fine with Skype, MSN, etc. Video quality could be better, max resolution for video is 800X600, but it still looks a bit "blurry" but im sure I just have to adjust some settings. Overall This is definately worth the 20$
