The icecam doesn't work too bad. If it's like the one I have, it's
pretty unwieldy and I end up clamping it to the top of my screen with a
big rubber band. It's also manual focus. And it doesn't contain a
mic. Since it's USB, I suspect it has considerably fewer frames per
second than say the iSight. However, knowing these limitations, it's
still not a bad cheap alternative to the iSight. Also, as with many of
these cameras, it performs poorly in low light conditions. It helps a
lot to have a light facing you.

Intended use is occasional chat. I got tired of googling for reviews
and only finding websites that promised reviews but never delivered.
