available at Harris Tech as well for the same price. if you can pick it up from Harris Tech, you save on the handling fee that Officeworks charges.

I thought it mas minus $29.95 (ie they gave $29.95 more in cashback than the asking price)…
I’d like a webcam, but can’t justify spending money on one as I have no use for one at the moment.

The cash back rate is fixed. So you get back $40 no matter how much you paid for the camera.

In this case you happen to be paying $69.95, so after cash back, it’s down to $29.95

Which in my opinion is a decent price to pay for a good camera.

Other cameras which go for $25-$30 are not wide angle, not high res, and are average in quality.

I’m sure it’s a good deal, if you have need for a webcam.. I just thought it was a sensational deal from the headline that reads -$29.95… ie minus $29.95

I’ve adjusted the title so it’s hopefully not as ambiguous now.

The deal is good, but bear in mind this webcam gets pretty poor reviews when compared to logitechs offerings.

BTW, a review on the camera with sample images/videos:
http://www.everythingusb.com/microsoft_lifecam_nx-6000.html

But you have to understand that he’s talking at the $150 pricepoint.

It’s now going for $30!

Edit: some more samples and review:
http://www.hardware-pacers.com/pages.php?catType=r&pid=354&i...

“While Microsoft is typically the best hardware on the market the NX6000 falls a little short of Microsoft’s great reputation. With that being said, if ruggedness and versatility is priority over video quality (or a user is only planning to use 640 x 480 video), then the NX-6000 is a great choice.”

Would you consider this you reckon?

$10 more, but seems to better built and 5x digital zoom and auto-light adjustment. Also, has universal adjustment base (monitor, notebook and desktop stand).

HT put the price back up to 99.95, OW won’t let you order it anymore, good for the guys who bought theirs fast.
