HP KQ245AA#ABA Review by GaryPen "Nobody you know"

I was really looking forward to receiving this webcam based on the reviews here, and because of the specs. Also, I was lucky enough to grab it during a temporary price drop, making it a huge bargain. However, the image quality is so poor, it isn't worth even the relatively low price I paid.

The image on the PC it is hooked up to is grainy and fuzzy. The only way I could get the picture to look half way decent on its "home" PC was within one of the bazillion ArcSoft application the CD installs. The video on the other end of Skype calls is close to unwatchable. And, there is no way to adjust the resolution within the driver's webcam settings.

Who uses these useless applications anyway? It is a WEB cam. Its main purpose is for video communications across the WEB. So, the only software necessary is the driver software. AND, that driver software needs to be able to utilize the full resolution and capability of the webcam.

Unfortunately, this piece o crap is going back to Amazon. I'll just have to get another Creative Optia or perhaps try a Logitech 9000 which seems to get great reviews. (Then again, this one got some good ones, too.)

HP KQ245AA#ABA Review by Saliya Ekanayake (Indiana, USA)

Pros: 1. Auto focus
2. Really good video quality with actual 2MP sensor
3. Quick and easy buttons for taking pictures, recording video
4. Versatile mounting options (two brackets included)
5. Video and sound in single USB link
6. Great build quality

Cons: Um, didn't find any at the moment

This camera is really worth for its price. I have purchased several other brands prior to this, but none of them gave a picture quality of this good. In fact, it performs as well as my Sony VAIO built-in Web cam. It can handle low light conditions fairly well. I really like the fact that it has just one USB wire for both video and sound (makes your life easy with less wires). It has two mounting brackets to suit your desktop or laptop.

I am using it with Windows7, Windows Vista Home Premium, and Ubuntu 9.04. It works equally well in all these OSs. No installation needed with Ubuntu 9.04. So if you are looking for a good cam to use with Skype, this is one choice you can go with.

The bottom line is, it's a really good camera for a price less than $50.

HP KQ245AA#ABA Review by Carlos Bucaram Carbo (Grand Forks, ND USA)

The camera worked just fine with the Skype software. I would say my computer is kind of outdated, like an HP 512MB of RAM, and 1.4GHz in a Celeron M processor.

I thought about buying a Logitec camera first but decided to risk it and give this camera a try, so to keep only on computer hardware manufacturer.

I am glad I did, and I do not regret buying it. The image is very clear, and the cool autofocus function works great.
