Great quality image with Skype.

When using this WebCam with Skype, I received good comment about the quality of the image.
The very unique feature of this camera is the rotation engine allowing showing the general surrounding of your home just by clicking with your mouse on the setting menu (instead of holding the camera in your hand).
The only critique would be that I do not recommend using the electronic zoom while using Skype, as the image become very blurry when you try to do a close up (Same issue with the QuickCam Pro 9000).
So when in Skype mode, keep the camera about 2 to 3 feet from your face to get a good image quality.
Nevertheless you can use the electronic zoom to make pictures that you directly saved into your computer and the quality is still good in this case, but again doing the same using Skype result in a bad quality. This is something that I did not figured out.
I wish that in the future, a new model will have an electric zoom so all the CCD pixels would be always used, keeping the image quality constant.
The microphone is also of good quality. In general I start a Skype conversation by sitting in front of the computer screen and camera. Then I turn the camera toward a sofa where I can continue talking while sitting comfortably using the ambient microphone of the camera and the computer speakerphone.
Thank you also for e-Bay allowing me to find this camera new at a discount price.
