3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad camera for the price, but...., March 11, 2004
I bought this camera for the purpose of using it as a web cam with MSN Messenger. It certainly works for that. I have not had any problems with it. It was easy to install (with Windows XP Pro) and was up and running in minutes. The software has a few neat options including WebCam Monitor which allows you to configure the camera to take photos at user-defined time intervals and upload them to a web site automatically.

The stand is a little different then other cameras, but works good for my laptop computer. It would also work well if used on top of a flat screen monitor. It probably wouldn't be the best for for a CRT monitor or if mounting on the desk.

My only complaints are the image quality and lack of a microphone. The image quality really isn't bad, but I have an older Intel camera which delivers a much sharper image. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the image, but then I paid less then 30 bucks for it. I paid much more for the Intel camera. For the price, I guess it isn't a bad camera.

I have never used any any of the Logitech cameras, but they are supposedly very good...however, they are a little more expensive too. I did notice that some of the Logitech cameras also have built-in microphones (like the Logitech USB QuickCam Messenger) which would be a big selling point for me, so you may want to give that some thought. I wish my camera had a microphone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and Satisfying, January 27, 2004
By "priyadi96" (Malaysia) - See all my reviews
I think this product is one of Creative's product competing in low end webcam market for it's cheap price. It's just amazing seing the low price but with good picture quality, especially compare to my Logitech Quickcam Express (USB) which is only slightly cheaper but without expected quality.

No need to add more light source to make the picture brighter. It will capture light very well, and present the picture as bright as the truth condition. It's clip on legs is also very good value for notebook users.

For its good quality and the clip on legs, it's cheap and highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incompatibility Issues, August 15, 2004
Bought this webcam from Walmart, due to a reasonable price. However, when I got it home and installed it on my computer (Dell Dimension 4550 w/XP Home) it wouldn't let me get out to the internet! I tried uninstalling & reinstalling several times - I could get to the Internet no problems without it on my computer. Checked Creative's Website for a patch or download - of course there was nothing. The image quality is pretty poor also, especially when you compare it to the image on the box, which is crystal clear!! It did come with a "free" microphone, so that was an extra. I would steer clear of this webcam.
