My parents really like us having this cam as they can see their only grandchild on a regular basis. Yes, the lighting is an issue, but I just move a lamp over near my baby (at night) or open the shades (during the day) so they can see him clearly. Don't expect DV Cam resolution, etc. as you're only paying $31.99 after rebate. I think too many of these reviewers don't factor in the price and expect way too much for their money.

Note to Toshiba (i.e. Satellite) notebook owners. The screen on the laptop is curved at the edges which makes it much more difficult for this to remain well clipped. I'm constantly adjusting mine and wish the clip clasped a little further down on either side of the screen.

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible image quality, even in typical lighting conditions, February 20, 2005

Just returned this webcam. Has terrible image quality, especially under low light conditions. Well, I would say even in average or typical lighting conditions, the imaging is still quite dark and noisy. Too bad, because I think they got the form factor right on this model.

4.0 out of 5 stars A tiny mobile cam, that has a great image, in good light, September 3, 2004

This review is from: Creative Labs Webcam Notebook Camera with Clip (Personal Computers)

I bought my Creative Notebook Cam, almost 2 months ago. It was a nice small size for, the new notebook, I was getting.

You can expect, a clear picture, in normal daylight, but the only con, is the picure that it produces at night, in lower light levels. The picture will get grainy & spotted, as well as the FPS dropping down, below a good level 30 FPS in US
25FPS europe, is the normal camera speed for video.
If you setup a 100watt bulb, within 10 feet behind the notebook cam, it will be fine all night long.
