Creative Live! Cam with Voice Reviews
I got this camera, it is very simple and picture quality is very good and its a good camera for personal use.
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.
I figured it would have been more clear since it claims to be 7.0 megapixel. I like the webcam alot, but I am a little disappointed with the resolution.
Best it's little heart, within range it follows me around when I move in the chair, keeping me centered in the picture. Got my wonderful Creative webcam, proudly installed the software, uninstalled the software, installed the software, uninstalled the software.
I was this close to sending it back (*) because I had a problem.
I like that.
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.
But, I had to pirate windows just to get it working, which is too bad. I would expect that if I wanted better than this cam, I would have to get a real digital video camera. I turned that off, and set it to 1. All the drivers/updates/reboots.
On a side note, this experience highlights how much better ubuntu is over windows2000. In other words, there isn't a linux driver for this webcam. 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 wish there was an easier way to determine if there is linux support for a model or not. I know w2k is old, but I thought it was supposed to be the best out of 2k/xp/vista. Using the webcam, I noticed ALLOT of blurring. Its a little darker, but I would prefer to just get a lamp to correct that.
Ah well. Well, I haven't used this camera much. This was due to the exposure setting being set to 'auto'. It took me 2 days to install windows, with the first attempt crashing, and I had to start over. I still haven't gotten the hang of setting the white balance.
