Pros
I like the way this software adds the effects and overlays to webcam, saved pictures and videos. It provides proper guidance for learning the tool.
Cons
You cannot feel the software is accurate while using the demo version.

Pros
None. I never was able to use the software.
Cons
The quality of the image was far too low for me to use. The customers service was poor. They would not return my money AND they sign you up for a RECURRING charge. I had to go into paypal to shut it down.
I strongly advise staying away from these people and this software.

We have several types of licenses. Standard license, which is the DEFAULT license and being chosen by most users, is one-time charge, no recurring charge.
I guess you bought 1 year license. If you selected auto-renewal option during your purchasing, 1 year license may charge you yearly. But obviously, this is how auto-renewal option works. Also, you should receive several notification emails before the charge really takes place. You can also disable the renewal option at any time yourself.
Please contact support@shiningmorning.com for more help.
Pros
Absolutely none!
Cons
Their support is nonexistent. The software lacks polish. A big problem is, where is the option for resizing the webcam feed to the display's aspect ratio?
Summary
Any other webcam software is better, even freeware like Manycam!

@Peimur,
After payment, I miss-typed the license key. When I asked for their help, they replied my email within 10 minutes and help me to find the problem.

Pros
Magic Camera provides the most special effects I have seen for webcams. Many of the effects are tunable with sliders that allow you to change x/y/z axes, number of multiple images, etc. You can of course just use it right "out of the box" as is.
Cons
Some of the masks or objects like eyeglasses, moustaches, etc don't follow my face as well as other products I have tried even when keeping the resolution reasonable (640 x 480)
Summary
This product is compatible with Skype and provide hundreds of effects, masks, frames, filters, backgrounds, scenes etc. Most of them work very well. I am particularly impressed with some of the distortions and recommend Pete's Kaleidascope [sic] as a great way to experiment with the program.

Pros
I tried several software and think Magic Camera is better than others.
Cons
nothing yet
Summary
I want to point out that Magic Camera also integrates a virtual sound card to stream sounds besides virtual webcam video. Other software such as manycam/webcammax can not do this. This is a great feature.
Also, from my experience, Magic Camera does not expire even after 30 days, so you may keep using it after its free trial period.
