Can anyone let me know if this has a built in camera? I don't see it in the specs, even though Skype software comes with it... Thanks!

Yes it has a camera. Mine no longer has windows 8, it was a real pain. If you want 8, then spend the few extra bucks and buy the S400 with the touch screen. I put linux on mine. Skype works as well as other applications.

Yes, it does. I don't remember the quality specifications, though. I've used it a few times and it was pretty good for a webcam.

Only one camera and it is front facing - it does not have autofocus, so is really only good for Skype. Skype quality is decent enough. I couldn't get a QR code to scan with the front facing camera due to the camera quality and lack of auto focus, not to mention it's just plain awkward to scan a QR code with a front facing camera on a tablet.

I just downloaded Skype for my Windows, and when I logged on it said to configure my webcam, so I'm guessing it picked it up. But, then Skype froze and I couldn't get it to work the rest of the night. So I'm just guessing that it works. I'll have to try again later. Hope this somewhat helps.

Yes it has a good web cam built in I think it is 10mp.I have had problems with SKYPE in that the camera works fine until I connect then it quits. The USB Ports are pitifully under powered and this may be part of the problem.

Yes, has a very nice camera and mic for skype, I bought one a year ago and happy with it. Must look carefully at details. This listing says 17 inch screen, but it's 13.3 inch screen....Common problems? None that I can think of, besides cracks. Some cracks are no prob but hinge cracks are a problem. Check for that.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

Hmmm...I mostly used it up close. I recall that people on the other end of a Skype call had trouble hearing if someone else in the room was talking, but farther away from the mic. That just might have been due to too many people trying to talk at once. That seems to make the conversation very confusing. I really like this little cam though. I have a built in now, so don't use it anymore.

yes, it does. Actually, there are two cameras - front (0.8 Mpix) for Skype and rear (8 Mpix) facing. Don't expect great quality from the high resolution camera though. It's noisy at the low light condition.

Steven, Skype is currently the only App that supports the camera feature. If other Apps are developed for it, it may be possible, but currently Skype is supported. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Yes. It does have a webcam but good luck finding any specs on it. Only faces the keyboard for video conference type usage. Does not have a rear facing camera such as you may find on tablets and smartphones. I have never been able to find the resolution. I suspect it is very low, i.e. less than 1.2MP. It is not for taking pictures to share or print so HP does not bother to document any of the hardware information, Even Amazon can't tell you anything about it... not even listing it in their description.

Th amazon app is not yet available--possible date in Aug 2013. No buitl-in camera for skype---AVN-400 camera needed.

Yes. The camera has a feature that lets you choose to keep the screen on when your eyes are looking at the screen. The front camera is mediocre for Skype and awful for photos.

Yes it does. I had to look at mine again because I don't Skype or anything so mine's never been used. I have used the main camera with good result.

Amazon e-mailed me and asked me to answer this question. I never use it without plugging it in but a friend of mine used it recently without plugging it in and said it was getting pretty low after, he thinks, about an hour and a half but he didn't let it completely run down so he's not sure. It definitely doesn't have a built-in webcam. I bought it used.

The webcam does have a built-in microphone, but I've never been able to get it to work. I've only tried it once when I first got the computer, but since I never use the webcam or the microphone it wasn't a big deal to me that it didn't work. I will say this is one of the best computers I have ever owned, and I would be happy to purchase it again.

I did see the camera software from Android 4.0 is in the software still but I am not sure if it will work with a USB Cam or not but if it does Skype should work with it. though I did not test it I just checked and the Play store says Skype is compatible with SoftwinerEvb ( MK802 )

It has a front camera, no back camera. Yes it has Skype and it also works with pdf, .doc files. In some cases, you may need to download app to read the pdf, .doc files.
