    Excellent - had been to-ing and fro-ing on one of these for a while.

    Important thing to note - apparently these cameras are famed for having hardware encoding (which reduces CPU load), and Skype have no changed their codec which means that this no longer works as it should. (Google it to know more).

    I've no idea how much or little it affects Skype quality/performance, but at that price I'm definitely willing to take the chance.

    Skype perfect for me via this camera with the minix x8-h for years. Fab quality image.

    Interesting about Skype, planning to hook this up to an Xbox One for that very thing.
    I'd been humming and hawing on it myself the last week or two. I was delighted when I saw that price this morning.

    I am not joking. I had this in my basket for order yesterday in case it went down in sale. Score!
