    3 out of 5 stars Customer Review   February 16, 2008
    Sunil Kumar Papade (USA)
    I got this camera, it is very simple and picture quality is very good and its a good camera for personal use.


    4 out of 5 stars Good video quality with a little fisheye   January 14, 2008
    Tim (Florida)
    I only use the video portion of the camera and use cell phone for audio, so I haven't tested the audio aspects. The video quality is very good, although it does tend to have a fisheye effect that is noticeable.


    4 out of 5 stars Webcam   January 14, 2008
    Chris F. Stinemetz (Kansas City)
    I like the webcam alot, but I am a little disappointed with the resolution. I figured it would have been more clear since it claims to be 7.0 megapixel.


    4 out of 5 stars Really great, EXCEPT!   January 4, 2008
    Dennis R. Carr (I don't know, Illinois I think!)
    Got my wonderful Creative webcam, proudly installed the software, uninstalled the software, installed the software, uninstalled the software. Anyway you get the idea. Not put off by dumb machines, I tried several changes in the default layout. It seems the layout the Creative believes is the living end, AIN'T! I had to change it to AVI and the Intel Indedo video compresser and changed the audio compresser to MPEG layer-3.

    Best it's little heart, within range it follows me around when I move in the chair, keeping me centered in the picture. I like that.

    I was this close to sending it back (*) because I had a problem!



    3 out of 5 stars no linux support   December 31, 2007
    Daniel Hollocher
    Well, I haven't used this camera much. But, I had to pirate windows just to get it working, which is too bad. In other words, there isn't a linux driver for this webcam. I wish there was an easier way to determine if there is linux support for a model or not.

    Using the webcam, I noticed ALLOT of blurring. This was due to the exposure setting being set to 'auto'. I turned that off, and set it to 1. Its a little darker, but I would prefer to just get a lamp to correct that. I still haven't gotten the hang of setting the white balance.

    Despite these bumps, I got the webcam for a good price, and I think it will suit my purposes just fine, so I'm quite happy. I would expect that if I wanted better than this cam, I would have to get a real digital video camera.

    On a side note, this experience highlights how much better ubuntu is over windows2000. It took me 2 days to install windows, with the first attempt crashing, and I had to start over. All the drivers/updates/reboots. I know w2k is old, but I thought it was supposed to be the best out of 2k/xp/vista. Ah well.
