The camera worked immediately after connection. Light works well, no complaints! If you need a webcam for online classes, skype, etc., that's fine. I think it's great for starting content creation - I didn't use it for that, but I didn't use it for that purpose. The autofocus works well to keep you in focus and the quality is fairly sharp (no graininess or pixelation). The camera seems pretty reliable since my cat knocked it off my monitor and it works just as it did out of the box.
