 Beautiful but dumb on a Mac Jul 13, 2010
This camera takes a beautiful picture, but there is ZERO control of the cam in a Mac environment ... no control over exposure (which means you're hooped if there's 'too much' light in the room) and no control over video frame rate (so you're stuck at 15 fps). Creative tech supports says, "Thank you for your kind understanding."
My point is that the product description and the vast majority of product reviews on Amazon (Creative's only online retail vendor, as far as I can see) are profoundly misleading, either by consciously or unconsciously employing a strategy of leaving out an essential piece of information, which is that the product is essentially crippled, or as Creative customer service puts it, 'restricted to plug an chat and that bundled software is not supported'.
 Works Great on Mac Jun 24, 2010
Plug the USB into my Mac, worked just fine. Cam was recognized and set as the primary video device.

Peek-A-Boo Apr 22, 2010
I'll Put It Like This I Hooked It Up And With Minor Adjustments I Was Online Talking With Friends Not To Mention The Software Package Which Allows You To Make Yourself Split In Half....Send Photo's Or Documents....
Now Mind You There Are Other Big Named Corp.'s Out There ....Which Is What I Purchased First !
And The Way I See It It Works Fine With All Their Software...But What Happens When Your Using Other Operating Systems
And That Is That

Parental Control!! Feb 17, 2010
In this day and age, I expect to have parental controls on any device that can connect to the internet. This is the only webcam I have found that offers this feature. It allows you to set a password so that ANY time the webcam is going to be connected to the internet, it requires the password. Awesome!
All the little fun features are strictly for kids and as an added plus, has helped me to get my 4-year-old to sit down for long distance video chats with his grandparents for more than just a few minutes. I'm not sure Grandma is so thankful, however! It is cute to watch him play with the considerable variety of voices and video effects but isn't something most people would use in their regular video calls.
This is the first real webcam we've had in a while. Others have died on us and we've been left with only the one in our little Asus netbook, which leaves much to be desired. It has been amazingly refreshing to upgrade to this great little cam. The autofocus seems to work well and in our test calls we could see the video was MUCH more smooth and clear. I used to joke that we should put up a still picture and see if they could tell the difference. As for the mic, the mic on our netbook webcam has always been a sore spot as I am generally a soft spoken person and always feel like I have to shout for the in-laws on the other line to hear me. The mic on this cam seems to have completely alleviated this issue and I don't get anymore "I didn't quite catch that!"
I've noticed a few reviewers had issues with mounting it on a flat screen monitor but we didn't have any issue. I also really like the look and size of the cam. We've had several that are just big and obvious and ugly and look like some kind of robotic creature. This one has a sleek look to it and I'm looking forward to many years of use.

I bought this for my daughter, she installed it herself, the picture is a vast improvement over the older type she had.
