You best spruce up before you go online, because the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is a far cry from the mediocre webcams of yesteryear. Forever banishing those grainy, jumpy images of the past, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro features clean, detailed 640 by 480 resolution and 30-frames-per-second shooting speed for high-quality video footage that compares favorably with that of a pricey camcorder. No matter what your subject, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro ensures your audience will see all that you want it to see, smoothly and precisely.

One of the secrets behind the system"s advanced functionality is its connectivity format -- USB 2.0. Being one of the first webcams to shed the shackles of traditional USB 1.1 speeds for the incrementally quicker USB 2.0, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is simply able to transfer data at a far faster rate than cameras using the old standard. Moreover, its 640 by 480 VGA resolution is double that of a traditional 320 by 240 webcam. Creative has also equipped the unit with its new Face Tracking technology, whereby target objects are intelligently tracked even when they move from the center of the video frame.

Of course, no video is complete without audio. In that regard, the system sports a miniature clip-on microphone to deliver cleaner, more accurate sound than cameras with integrated mics. And you don"t need to fret over installation hassles either -- the Creative WebCam Live! Pro features a convenient three-way base that allows you to position it on standard CRT monitors, flat panel displays, notebooks or any flat surface. Whether you"re shooting footage or taking still 1.3 megapixel still photos, the Creative WebCam Live! Pro is an ideal online video companion.

REVIEWS:
1) Very good product: This product was really good. It is too bad they do not sell it anymore.
2) Good product: Nothing to write home about... it works, unfortunately not in Linux. I have not tried too hard to get it working in Linux, but it definitely does not work out of the box on Ubuntu, even in Gutsy.

3) Works great: I"ve had it for a while and have never experienced any problems with it. The only thing I would say is that you need to make sure you use it in a well lit area.
4) Great webcam ¡ Quality !: I think the webcam is really good because is easy to install, have high quality video,the software is very good, works in all sorts of light conditions, works very well in Windows XP and linux UBUNTU 7.04 with msn messenger and skype.

Good camera for the price.

If you works in UBUNTU you can download a program to use it.
5) Very Good Picture Quality. Smart Tracking Needs Some More Work: Overall a high quality webcam that produces excellent image despite the poorly lit room where it is located. The smart tracking that suppose to keep you in the center of the frame regardless of your movements does not work always as expected. I don"t care about that feature that much as the ability to produce a high quality image is more important to me.
