Advantages of the webcam:
Once the drivers are installed, this webcam is great for its old age. It has a focus dial around the camera, so you can make other objects less visible. Very useful.
Disadvantages of the webcam:
It has a lower quality than current offerings, of course. The drivers were excruciatingly difficult to install! It makes sense for it to be like that, I guess, considering its age, but I wish it were easier to set up.
