Great camera, improved optics and great design

Loved this camera after a few days of use. I find it amazing that we can control ISO, contrast, sharpness and many other settings so easily from the Mac console. One tip I found when setting up the camera is to ease the tension on the bottom pulley and align the camera with the front monitor so it looks solid and doesn't move. The bottom coil is a bit difficult to detach the first time you use it, but that's okay. One of the downsides I see is that the USB cable seems a bit flimsy, not the cable itself but the connector because if I touch the cable while using it the camera just blurs for a second or two and then come back. I thought it was just my computer, but I have a friend with a different Mac model who is having the same issue. I'm using a USB hub (of a legitimate brand) but connecting directly didn't solve this issue either.

Pros
  • Sony STARVIS sensor optimized for indoor use
Cons
  • Good but not great
