Creative Labs Live! Cam Vista IM

Easy to use, price, good quality image

USB 1.1, relatively slow frame rate at 640x480 and 800x600

A well priced and well performing, yet basic, webcam.

Not bad at all

I read several reviews here that don't match my experience. Low light level is not an issue, in fact this cam seems overly light sensitive. Picture quality is fine, mine is not blurry at all. The special effects work fine for me, no problems. The...

The picture quality is pretty good for a cheap web camera

Lack of offically supported Windows Vista drivers. There appear to be workarounds available, I haven't tried them yet
