These little guys are really great. We use them in the physics lab I TA for to watch microfluidics. They have an incredibly small focal length (we basically stick them right up against the fluid channels), and have a much better video quality than I ever would have guessed from a cheap webcam. I think we got them for $50 at wally world. Good deal!
My Philips is a HiDef web cam that looks just like the Woot but, I got mine from ebay.
What a good camera, it works as advertized on Skype but Yahoo’s Messenger does not allow the camera to work to it’s full extent.
All in all, it is a good score and $25.00 is a good price.
