I was hesitant to buy the Genius F100 since there are very few customer reviews anywhere. I generally don't buy things unless I can read through customer feedback to get a good feeling for the item. I finally bought the F100 anyway since I really wanted a wide-angle webcam for conference calls and simply couldn't find any other options.
And I couldn't be happier! I have only had the F100 for 2 days, but it worked perfectly with Skype conference calls on my Windows 7 machine. I didn't have to install any special drivers, just plugged in the USB cable. Skype works with the F100 just marvelously.
The best thing is that the field of view is really extraordinary! The entire conference room in our office can now be seen. Before this we always had half the people in the meetings out of frame. The microphone quality is also excellent. It even seems to be better than on the Microsoft Lifecam we were previously using.
The only downside I can see so far is that the F100 might not be the best choice for a single 1 on 1 video call. It gives the impression that you are far away and there is no good close-up of your face. It would be nice to able to specify a portion of the frame to zoom in on if you don't want the entire picture.

Decent product. Definitely not as advertised. While it does take video at 1080p, I would hardly call it HD, as it is extremely noisy and grainy. The plastic feels pretty cheap, and I could see it breaking very easily. Unless you need a very wide angle view, steer clear of this webcam.

We are using this in an unusual place.... to watch our laser during production to ensure there are no fires. Standard cameras did not have a wide enough angle to view the entire bed. This camera works perfect in a harsh, smoky environment. If it can work close to a laser producing parts 8 hours a day it should be robust enough for everyday use. Beware that the focus is manual and you have to rotate the silver ring. It has a good depth of field so it should be fine for most applications.
