Bought this camera. 1280 x 720 mode works at 30 fps, provided you have fairly bright lighting. Exposure works nicely, but white balance is slow. You can coax it into operation by filling the view with a white sheet of paper with black text on it. Autofocus is slow too, as you can see in iTechieSolution's video. But autofocus allows you to do things that you can't do with a fixed focus camera (HP HD3100). Camera works well enough, but I wish I had a Logitech 720p with autofocus, for comparison.
Don't wear a white hat. The automatic lighting adjustment may adjust for your hat, making your face look too dark. It doesn't seem to be doing this, and seems to be able to distinguish your face from your hat, but in general this a good idea.
Make sure you have enough light on your face. HD needs more light. Some people were complaining that HP's cams were having more trouble focusing on dark-skinned faces than light-skinned, and HP admitted it might be possible. It seems to be fixed. But get some light on your face, and don't backlight yourself, so we can see how pretty you are.
HP is claiming the camera is Skype compatible if you have the latest version of the camera, or if you upgrade the firmware to the latest version. You can get the firmware from HP's website.
Yea, 720p. I think this video is in 640 x 480. Try and get the full 30 frames per second, too, so we can see how well it tracks movement without things getting blurry. Live move your hand from left to right, with the camera focused on it, not too fast not too slow.
Got it running on my Acer Z 3101 and it is very sharp and works great on Skype 5.2....by the way, Skype wasn't happy about being criticized for not running HP... the tech used quite a few expletives when he wrote me back on my email I sent them. The HP 3110 makes the Microsoft Cinema look and sound awful in comparison. The autofocus is heavy at first but after it adapts to your enviroment... WOW!
did you get it to work with Yahoo IM 10, or Skype 5 ? I didn't, tried 4 different PCs / Laptops, no luck. 2 PCs even crashed. I am pretty diappointed now.
@towdow3 honestly my friend im not to sure exactly if i put it in HD because theres over 4 different presets as far as resloution goes i think i didnt even change it. but the HD preset works wonders and again since my room has poor lighting the video didnt come out good same thing goes for macs sine i own 2 of them when im in starbucks it works wonders but again the lighting lol youll see a difference with any webcam even my droid camera does wonders under certain circumstances .

can you upload a 720p video with it at the same light conditions and with low/bad light conditions, this would be really helpful
