The video is watchable only during the day. 4:3 aspect ratio, 640 × 480 pixel matrix. Interpolation allows for a wider viewing angle and a higher resolution. The camera is not to my liking. Those who comment positively on the camera's quality are probably using Skype's windowed viewing mode. The quality is inadequate for a full screen, being muddy and low resolution. This is a purchase I deeply regret making. It's reassuring that I've gotten the hang of chatting on Skype, even though I rarely make use of the video feature.
