Reviews of the Ipevo PoV Web Camera
-
CNET Review
The Good: Outstanding macro mode; inexpensive.
The Bad: Cannot record video--only stills--with included software; poor low-light performance; remote monitoring feature doesn't work with Vista SP1 or the latest version of Skype; no Mac support.
The Bottom Line: Middling performance and oddly lacking software overshadow the Ipevo PoV Web Camera's excellent macro mode. Don't buy it unless you need a Webcam for the express purpose of recording close-up still shots or up-close-and-personal video chats.
