CNET Review
The Good: Smooth face tracking; useful lighting presets; smooth video at 30 and 60fps; tripod screw mount.
The Bad: Buggy software; dead pixels on sensors; cheap and lightweight; poorly designed stand; no autofocus; low max resolutions for video and photos.
The Bottom Line: Aside from its ability to follow a face, the Philips SPC 900NC Webcam disappoints.
