Basic Webcam

Strengths: Price is cheap, has all the basic functions, easy to put on the monitor.

Weakness: Picture quality is very so so.

If you only need a very basic webcam, and you can get this one cheap, get it. It does what it is suppose to do. If you are looking for something fancy or good picture quality, spend more money and get something else.

Good enough

Strengths: It functions well as a basic webcam. Monitor mount works very well on LCDs.

Weakness: Image quality is quite low.

This is a below-average webcam, but it serves the purpose. Not good for making YouTube videos. Image quality is not as good as expected. The impression you get by looking at the image samples on the box are not reflected in the actual product.

Affordable webcam

Strengths: Cheap, nice-looking

Weakness: Poor picture quality

This Creative webcam will serve the basic functions of a webcam. However, the image quality is not that good. The highest resolution you can get with it is only 640x480. The image has a lot of video noise. The good thing about this is that it comes with a game pak CD. I have a lot of fun playing the basketball, volleyball, and karate games with this webcam. The movements on those games are...

Very decent webcam

Strengths: easy to install and use and low price

Weakness: pixel is not very high

This is the cheapest webcam I can find. I intalled it in a short 5 minutes and figured it out how to use it right away. You can take picture and video with it. I play with it a lot in front of computer. And of course at the price this low, you can't expect more - it doesn't have high pixel so the picture quality is not super great, but I can live with it.

Very basic webcam

Strengths: Cheap. Come with extra headset.

Weakness: Low resolution

I agree with most comments that the resolution is low. The quality of the image is not that good. However, I think you can't get any better webcams at the same price. I've got what I paid for. Also, the installation is very easy. Finally, please read carefully before install any softwares since there are many unnecessary software components (eg. AOL, Get Yahoo) that you don't want.

Get what you pay for.

Strengths: Very cheap. Not much else.

Weakness: Picture quality below average. Windows Vista not supported. Looks 'old' compared to more modern cameras.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this cheap and cheerful camera, especially considering the price. However, like I said above, you definitely get what you pay for. If like me, you were able to pick this camera up with a rebate, you can have no complaints. However, for $10-$20 more, you can get a camera that is years ahead technology wise of this one. If you are not running Vista and have an...

Creative Webcam

Strengths: Cheap

Weakness: none

This is a basic webcam without very many features or functions. The resolution is not that great but enough to be seen clearly. I got it free after rebate so I have no complains. If you need something basic this will do the job.

Don't expect much

Strengths: 1) Can be had cheap or free after rebate 2) Package comes with a little "headset" and games 3)Kinda cute

Weakness: 1) Techology straight out of 1985 2) Low res, low quality image

If you get this for free after rebate, you will have about gotten your money's worth. This cute little camera isn't designed for anything more than the most basic webcamming. If you want even "good" quality pictures, move up market a little. Creative does have some pretty good low end webcams. (Check out their "live" series.) Unfortunately, this one is too low-end to fit that profile. Maybe if...

cheap, not good but enough for many people

Strengths: low price, great bonus microphone

Weakness: poor image quality, USB 1.1, doesn't support Vista

It is really cheap and I think a many of us got it almost free after rebate. The quality of the bonus microphone is much better than the web-cam. The resolution rate is low and it make the poor image quality. But it is still OK for on-line chat and the low resolution makes the USB 1.1 interface is enough for it. It maybe will never can be used under Windows Vista since the Creative doesn't have a...
