Strengths:

Astonishing wideangle lens. High resolution. Easy installation.

Weaknesses:

Poor low light performance; Face-trace function difficult to figure out.

Posted Jan 8, 2005 - I have been using this webcam for a while. The super-wide-angle lense is the most attractive feature to me. And it even has an aotumatic correction software for the lens distortion. Although most of the time, you really don't need such a wide view angle. (I end up using digital zoom to make my face bigger.) The image is clear during the day or you have good light in your room. But under low luminances (not really low though, I have a ceiling light on, and a 20" CRT screen infront of me), The image quality is degraded. In general, this webcam is suitable for everyday usage, and is among these "high-end" ones, so is its price. I am pretty satisfied with the purchase.

Strengths:

doesn't look like an eyeball, seperate headset/earpiece, many manual settings in software

Weaknesses:

manual focus, confused face tracking, doesn't securely mount to laptop screen

Posted May 11, 2005 - This is a nice mid-level webcam. It has trouble figuring out what a face is sometimes. The wide angle lens is nice for having multiple people in the frame.

Strengths:

Okay picture quality, useful included software

Weaknesses:

Facetracking gets confused sometimes

Posted May 11, 2005 - This is my first webcam, but as best I can tell it is doing a good job. I'm only needing it for video conferencing purposes and it seems to be adequate.

Strengths:

Good price! Very clear!

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Apr 28, 2005 - This webcam is amazing. At the price that i'm paying it for, there is no way other webcam can match it. It is clear, fast and most importantly, value for money.

Strengths:

1 Megapixel CCD sensor, up to 640x480 video resolution. Good low light performance, face tracking feature

Weaknesses:

Colors are sometimes inaccurate

Posted Apr 5, 2005 - This is a very nice webcam. It can take 1 Megapixel still images, or video at up to 30 FPS. The picture quality is quite good considering its price and size. Particularly, the low light performance is better than comparable Logitech webcams. Colors are a mixed bag; depending on the type of lighting, colors can be extremely accurate or a bit off. This camera has a wide angle lens, which may or not be good depending on your needs. One nice feature this camera has is a face tracking feature; when turned on, the camera will track your movements. I've found this feature works pretty well, it's excellent for video conferencing/chatting.

Strengths:

Good quaality image, and easy to install and usein Windows system, adjustable focus. Free microphone included.

Weaknesses:

N/A

Posted Apr 3, 2005 - It is the first time to buy creative webcam. I am glad to own it because it's good to install and use, having good quality images. I plan to buy Logitech products, but it's too expensive. However, the webcam is worthy due to high rato of performance/price after $30 rebate. If you are going to have a nice webcam, I strongly encourage you to buy it.

Strengths:

Very easy to set up. Base of camera sits easily and securely on top of my flat panel. Picture quality a little better due to CCD sensor compared to cameras with CMOS. Auto face tracking and zoom.

Weaknesses:

Installation of Creative software gave me a little problem but a simple "end task" worked for me. Power indicator light stays on; no way to turn it off. No lense cover to prevent dust when not in use.

Posted Mar 27, 2005 - Overall, I'm very satisfied with this model. The image quality is pretty good and the included headset/microphone is great for those who don't already have their own headset. The face tracking feature can be a bit too sensitive but you can tweak the sensitivity setting. I do not have very bright lighting in my room but this unit does a very good job under poorly lit condition. The only thing that disappointed me was buggy creative software (maybe its only me); there are a few bugs in the software and it has crashed a couple times within an hr. I definitely would purchase this again but hopefully others have better luck with the stability of the software.

Weaknesses:

No built-in mic.

Posted Mar 24, 2005 - This webcam is perfect for my LCD. The picture quality is much better than my old logitech quickcam. The zoom feature is very useful. I hope it has a built-in mic but it doesn't. Overall it's a good webcam. Recommended.
