CNET Review
The Good: Excellent image quality, especially in low light; flexible, sturdy stand works on top of desktop or laptop; 3D video effects improve on past efforts; low price.
The Bad: LifeCam application remains lackluster; not compatible with Macs.
The Bottom Line: The Microsoft LifeCam VX-5500 is a well designed, affordable Webcam with excellent image quality.

Review Summary: Much like its predecessor the VX-5000, the VX-5500 is an excellent webcam which produces almost perfect audio and video steams. Our only caveat would be that an extra light source might be needed in a dark room.
