 Decent cam for price, beware toshiba owners... March 10, 2005

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.
 terrible image quality, even in typical lighting conditions February 21, 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.

The product is of very poor quality.The image hardly refreshes when connected to yahoo and most of all the picture is grainy and color is very dull.The picture will scare you off!!...Please go for other model.This model is not at all upto the expectation.
Thanks and Regards

Portable, easy to use but quality is subpar February 4, 2004

If you are strictly looking for a notebook/laptop webcam that only requires the minimum standards as far as quality goes, this may be your choice. I was not happy with the quality at all. Low lighting (zero lux +) gives slower fps (frames per second) and terrible resolution.Pros:
Small and nice design
Install is easy though the program makes you go through hoops just to change some simple settings
Will work with decent quality with decent lighting. Cons:
Just like any 'cheapie' webcam, the quality is par to sub-par as far as quality goes.
For $40 bucks, I think you may get better quality from other webcams. The reason why it costs more is because of its size.
A tiny mobile cam, that has a great image, in good light September 4, 2004

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.
