Pros: Easy install/setup USB interface decent quality pic's and video Cons: low lighting problems
My wife and I have been taking pictures of our kids ever since they were born, and then we had to have them developed and have multiple prints made up so we could send them to all of our relatives. Then we discovered Kinko's, we...
Pros: Not expensive, easy to use, great for starters Cons: need to adjust for lighting
This is a decent webcam to start out with. It's not too expensive, although there are cheaper products out there. We did have a little trouble getting it installed and recognized but I was assured that this is not normally the case. Many others have...
Pros: Cheap, got it for $41, acceptable image quality Cons: Software is not that friendly, only good as a webcam (not a camera)
INTENDED USE
I was looking for a webcam that would be used in videoconferencing via NetMeeting or Yahoo Messenger. I had initially bought the Quickcam Express on offer at $34, which I thought was a good buy. On using it, I found the image...
Pros: Good quality, easy to use Cons: Hard to install
I recently purchased a Video Blaster WebCam3. I chose this particular product because my son had one and I knew it would be compatible. I ordered my WebCam3 over the internet, directly from the Creative company internet store. I was extremely pleased...
Pros: Inexpensive, good resolution for a webcam, easy to set up Cons: washed out colors, sometimes buggy software
I didn't know a single thing about webcams when I bought my Creative Labs Video Blaster Webcam 3. I knew I wanted a USB connection, and decent visual quality. Aside from that, I wasn't really sure what to expect. Now that I've had the thing for a while,...
Pros: Cheap, Easy, Convenient, Well Made Cons: Video Quality Not the Finest
For many months and a few years before entering university, I looked forward to the mind-blowing internet speed with the prospect of video-conferencing that actually looks decent. With that in mind, I watched the sunday newspaper ads for awhile,...
Pros: Reasonable webcam (for netmeeting) Cons: Very bad Software, bad image quality for digital pictures
This has not been my first webcam. Just few months after having bought a regular (not a"Go") Webcam III, Creative Labs came out with this new one. I really liked the idea of combining a webcam with a digital camera and I was annoyed by the fact that...
Pros: Simple desgine (USB), small Cons: Bad picture quality, bogged down a PII 400 mhz
I just bought this product. And I am going to return it ASAP! I was looking for something cheep, yet good. This camera seemed to have what i needed. When i installed it, the picture quality was VERY poor (esp compared to OTHER cameras of the same time,...
Pros: Versatility using the webcam and digital camera features. Cons: No flash, no expandable memory.
This camera makes a nice web-cam on its own, but add the extra feature of a digital camera and it's a superb value. I used to have a Connectix QuickCam VC (parallel port), and was always unhappy with the lag time when videoing, but lived with it. I work...
Pros: cheap, usb, nifty "monitor" software, decent image qualtiy Cons: severe lighting and contrast problems
The WebCam 3 seems like a great webcam at a first glance. 640X480 resolution, full color, usb, $39. I decided to buy the thing and give it a shot. Now that I have it, I can say that although this isn't bad, it did not live up to my expectations.
...
Pros: nice netcam for the price Cons: image quality not as good as higher priced models, doesn't do well in low light situations.
Video conferencing used to be for only big corporate tycoons. But now that computers are getting faster and more capable, with fast processors and hard drives keeping up with the demands of video capture, USB buses with a pipeline big enough for video to...
Pros: usb/parallel connection, up to 640x480 Cons: none!
Great webcam, Great price!
Learn what's a WebCam and how to set up one easily!
The answer is quite simple: a Web page which hosts images or even live video streams served by a digital Camera attached to a computer. Thus, a WebCam....
Pros: Now costs about $37, Decent picture, Good software bundle Cons: Focus is a little hard to adjust, No VMAIL software included
The Creative Labs Webcam 3 is one of the cheapest PC cameras you can buy today. When I bought this product, I paid about $50 dollars, which was the cheapest available anywhere. Now, it is available for about $37 online.
Pros: Both a digital portable camera and webcam... Cons: Not much of a digital camera...
I think this is an average to above average product, but I think you can probably find a better solution to what you are looking for if you take a little longer to check out the competition.
Pros: none Cons: poor image quality, difficult to focus
Here was my thinking. Buying a megapixel digital camera is expensive. When using a digital camera, I usually resize my pictures to less than 640 x 480 for the web anyways. Why not get a camera that shoots 640 x 480 pictures and save some dough? This...
Pros: Great picture quality, decent price Cons: so-so software package
When I bought this camera, I was a bit sceptical. I had used Creative webcams in the past and hadn't been very impressed. When I plugged the webcam III into my machine, I was pleasantly surprised! The picture quality is AMAZING. The camera itself...
Pros: Cheap, Great quality, USB interface makes it work well Cons: Can't be set to look up, Doesn't work too well in low light
When shopping around for a webcam to entertain my mother's idea of videoconferencing, I sprung for a cheap Webcam 3. To my surprise it turned out to be an excellent webcam. There are two aspects that must be addressed. First there is the hardware portion...
Pros: Cheap, detachable Cons: Blurry, low quality pics, eats batteries like a madman
It's a disconnectable digital camera AND a live cam! Very nifty idea, but the technology was spread a bit thin to get both out of it because neither one is remarkable. The web cam is only mediocre and the same goes for the detachable...
Pros: Easy to use, good software package Cons: focus ring hard to use, pictures may not turn out well
I did spend a good deal of research when I bought this camera last year. I was looking for a camera that had a high resolution and a USB connection for fast transfer speeds. At the time, the Webcam 3's 640 x 480 resolution was one of the highest...
Pros: cute little gadget Cons: won't send live pictures? correction
Since I can't write another opinion, ***this is my 3rd update. The WebCam works!! DO NOT CLICK ON THE WEBCAM ICON. DO get the NETMEETING download from MSN. Then, be sure to put names in the directory of those you wish to "talk" with. When you bring...
Pros: Easy installation. Cons: Poor color and picture quality overall.
We purchased this webcam for use with a PC in our home. It is one of three different brands of webcam that we're using on a regular basis and is the weaker of the three quality-wise. I've found it difficult, if not impossible, to tweak this camera to...
Pros: Price, Software Bundle Cons: Buggy USB drivers, Images are average
One of the first webcams I used was the Creative Labs Webcam II. It was an inexpensive webcam that produced good quality images considering it used a CMOS versus the superior CCD technology. As soon as the CL Webcam 3 was available I bought one. I...
Pros: the design is just adorable Cons: all it IS is a nice thing to look at
Well, I am sure that many of you are wondering what exactly I mean by the title "Creative Paperweight." I simply mean that it, for me, was mearly nothing more than that. The Creative cam was actually the second web cam that I purchased. The first...
Pros: good pic quality, good price, easy to use Cons: I can't think of one
This is one GREAT Camera for the price! It shows a pretty nice picture, although a little light in the background or in front of the subject does help to make the picture brighter.
It also comes with some photo software that has some really...
The best way to describe the product is AWFUL. Creative had a great idea here; A USB Webcam that could be detached and used as a not-very-hi-res snapshot camera. The case design is interesting in that it bends in the middle to facilitate placement on...
It was the spring of 1999. I had money in my hands and yearned for new toys. CD-RW drives were still out of my price range. This is how I came to buy Creative Labs’ WebCam 3.
Features: USB/Plug ‘n’ Play compatibility, 15fps at 640x480, 30fps...
Pros: good picture for video and stills, good price Cons: not the best for uploading to a web page directly from the camera
If your looking for a descent camera for sending video over e-mail, or taking stills, this Camera would be perfect for you. The controlability for adjusting the camera is easy, you don't have to worry about it moving around by itself on you because...
Pros: Small, supports 640x480 video, close focus, audio & video Cons: 640x480 videos limited to 15 fps. No zoom
For years I've wanted to get images on my computer. I've tried various things, even hooking a camcorder up to my 3dfx VooDoo3 3500 TV's composite input. But none of the pictures I have gotten have ever been as good as this little camera.
Some...
Pros: very good software. easy to use. Cons: diffucult to get unblurry pictures. pictures are still aren't so great once unblurred.
Pictures are worth a thousand words. Well most of them. The pictures this camera produces is worth about a thousand BAD words. Of the 40 or so pictures I have taken with this camera, most of them are blurry and muddy. They also suffer from lack of...
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Set Up, Cheaper than Digital Camera alternatives, Easy to use interface Cons: Grainy pictures, especially if you lack adequate lighting.
For my own use, I bought the Creative WebCam both for videophone use and to snap quick pictures for posting on the web or sending to friends. For these purposes, the camera is sufficient, although not astounding. The video is smooth and not...
I thought what it would be like to see and create my own video and still pics. I have learned from watching other people do their stuff. I bought this video cam at the store and downloaded the software. Found out I can not only record and take pictures...
Before I bought this camera I did a lot of research about many brands, and at last I decided on this one because it was the cheapest and it had the most specialties. I read a lot of review about this camera and most of them said that the images were...
Pros: travels well, good webcam, great home monitor! Cons: eats up batteries
I recieved my Webcam Go as a gift. I wasn't sure what I wanted, a web cam or a digital camera. This was an inexpensive resolution to my delima, that has allowed me to decide which I will use more often.
Pros: it's cost efficient Cons: the software stability is horrible
Greetings!
I bought the Creative Webcam 3 recently, and the actual webcam itself works ok. My complaint is about the software that was included in the package. The Video Blaster Webcam Control / Monitor software both malfunction to some...
Pros: Easy to use, Setup was a breeze Cons: Confusion over supplied drivers, sometimes the brightness isn't great on the automatic setting
Installation was very simple. I just plugged the camera into my USB port, Windows 98 prompted me for a driver, and it was working. The camera itself was simple to set up. The only down on the camera was the benefit of the two drivers that come with...
Pros: Inexpensive, good resolution , easy to install and use Cons: bugs in the software
Do you want a good camera without getting ripped off? well then this is the camera for you. I think it´s a good product that will allow you to put up your own webcam on the internet with ease. It can also be used as a digital camera to take still...
Pros: nice color and very easy to use Cons: ehh i didnt like the size it could have been smaller but hey its still cool
I purchased this product not to long ago being pretty suspicious of the standards it gave and how well it would perform. Although i am very happy to say this product is the best cam i have ever used and trust me i have used many i have cams i never...
Pros: Easy Installation, sharp picture Cons: May die on you.............
Hi folks, I bought a Creative Webcam 3 and I must say that the installation, associated software and results were all very good. There is plenty of scope for adjustment and the picture quality is quite sharp.
We actually bought 2 of these, 1 for my in-laws, 1 for us; as I already have numerous Creative products,we felt it would be safe to get the creative camera--we were very wrong! Yes, the camera is USB, so it should be convenient, but it turned out to be a...
i bought this as an inexpensive alternative to the 3com home connect cam for a cam page on my site. this could not have been a worse decision. trying to 'document' dorm life in a poorly lit room was nightmarish. never did i get a good picture -- not...
I found this to be a great little webcam for the price. with just a little searching i found it for under 50 dollars. it comes with some great extras and is relatively easy to use if you have a normal system. if your system is held together buy tape,...
Pros: Clever software turns the camera into motion-detecting security system; decent (but not great) quality.
Cons: It is quite tough to focus and images appear reddish in colour.
I think in this case you get more than you pay for. It was easy to install and the software package is a good idea. It does have a slight red tint, and takes awhile to get focused. Maybe it is not the standard of most Creative Labs hardware, but you'd do...
