Creative Labs Live! Cam Optia Pro Reviews

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — February, 2008



If you are in need of a camera and not that picky when it comes to quality, then the Creative Live! Cam Optia Pro may just be the thing for you. Quite bulky for a webcam, the Optia Pro is designed for desktops and notebooks. Video quality is a tad on the poor side, as video delays and un-synched audio were experienced by the reviewer. The camera, which can take photos up to 5 megapixels, rendered skin tones accurately but performed poorly in low light. As for the bundled programs, the reviewer stated that it has everything you could want. However, learning to use them is a bit tricky and would require multiple programs just to execute. If its features you are after, then the Live! Cam Optia Pro gets you a lot of them for its price.
Pros:
-5.0 Megapixels
-Everything you need is in the bundled software
Cons:
-Performs poorly in low lights
-video and audio comes un-synched
-bundled programs tricky to learn
