I don't know if any body else shares the same experience, it would
appreciated if any of the happy users could give me some hope. Otherwise, I
am keeping my BW and returning the colour one in a couple of days. I wish I
had received the messages below in time.

i bought the color quickcam ~1 month ago, and wish i had bought the bw=20
version. besides cuseeme stuff, for just picture taking and movies,=20
etc, the bw gives much better definition. another reason i went with=20
the color is the focus ability, which in my opinion is not worth a=20
whole lot.
save the bucks, buy the bw.
