Creative seems to be coming back into the consumer market with webcams. I found 2 models at my favorite computer store the other day. For the last 5 years they seem to have only sold to device manufactures.

Decent image with good light and at smaller resolutions; Nice small size; Good camera for the price

A bit jerky (low frame rate) at full 720 HD resolution

I liked the video and audio quality. Does just as good in low light as outside in the sun. This camera fills all requirements and is super easy to install. I've used it on the deck on a sunny day. Recording the people building a house across the street.

compact enough to hide on a shelf base allows mounting in a few odd ways.

mounting options limited by the shape of the base; could use some side shading for the lens.

By Slick At first when I got this Camera I was really excited... the sound was great, the visual was awesome too! Then I used it for "2 days" chatting on yahoo, facebook and a few other online chats.

This camera was fast and easy to set up, simply plug and play. The computer immediately recognized it and I was off recording. Picture quality is very good and it picks up audio very well even sitting on top of my monitor.

motion monitoring, for example is now a pay service provided by a 3rd party.

works perfectly; it is very inexpensive

creative software (not included in box) is not what it used to be

I bought this web cam around 4 monthis ago, its a fantastic little web cam for the price. I payed £29.99 from Amazon, a bit of a bargain when you consider how good this web cam really is.

Excellent quality; HD recording; 5.7mp stills

None

Great product at a great price!
