I ordered this so that I'd have the same thing as my correspondent. Should have done some homework first. Quality of camera is very poor. Terrible in low light. Even with maximum settings the picture quality is only fair and not in focus. Awkward to control. (It was cheap, I admit but I will probably buy a much better camera and write this one off).Compared to the video camera that came built-in on a 2-year-old Acer Aspire, the camera is way behind.
