Intel CS430 Web Cam

Pros: Takes good looking pictures, video input, works perfect under low light.
Cons: Does not work with Windows XP!

I should have reviewed this product at least five years ago at the height of its popularity. Due to my lack of timing I have perhaps missed out on all the glowing remarks the Intel CS430 deserves. On a Windows 98 platform, the CS430 was the ...

Pros: small size, shutter over the lens, clarity, quality, light-sensitivity, mobility, video input
Cons: the cord length

The Intel Pro PC Camera is about the best value out there for the money for a person seeking a great quality webcam for a reasonable price. The quality of this cam FAR exceeds that of the most expensive Logitec cameras. I have mine set to refresh on my...

Pros: Shutter, Tripod-mount, Video-input
Cons: discontinued

I have had this web cam for over 3 years. I bought one at Office Depot for $20. Later I bought two more from Fry’s Electronics for the same price for relatives. We have used this web cam for a lot more than what we paid. Most of our family back in Ind ...

Pros: Great Price! Adaptable! Great Bottom!
Cons: Typical Resolution

I had the previous version of this, and was I ever happy about discovering the new function of this little gadget:
- Feeds images/video from TV/Camera/Video machine.
This feed depends on how good your TV/Video/Camera is.
The little...

Pros: better-than-expected picture quality; easy to use; relatively sturdy
Cons: requires very good lighting conditions; occasionally locks up on Yahoo messenger

I decided to pick up a webcam just for the hell of it, to have a way to videoconference with some of my friends on Yahoo Messenger and to take basic digital snapshots if I needed. The Intel Deluxe PC Camera has definitely fit the bill, and has better...

Pros: Excellent optics
Cons: Being discontinued by manufacturer & support announced only until Sept 2003 No microphone

We recently ventured into webcasting and videophone with this product. At first, we purchased the Video Pro model, but found that the only additional feature was a built-in mic, and this was available at 1/3 the cost of the higher-end unit.

It...

Pros: Crisp video & pics, tripod mount, external video-in jack
Cons: None!

Umm? I would like to inform every one that I am successfully using this cam on winxp & have been for 2 years now! All I did was plug it in & it was ready to go! I've owned this cam for approx 3 years & it is the best I've ever owned! Everyone ...

Pros: Resolution Color Compatibility with XP Reverse Scan Converter
Cons: None

Hi, Yes, there is a software problem with the software that came initially packaged with the CS430 Webcam back when Windows 98 was the OS. That software does NOT work on Windows XP. And Microsoft is so good, that they have recorded that (and ...

Pros: Composite Video Input, Tripod Socket, Privacy Screen, XP Compatable without drivers.
Cons: Discontinued, support suspended, no microphone.

It's a shame that Intel is out of the PC-Camera business, this is certainly a great product.

I purchased it while it was still in production at $135, and now that it's available at discounted prices it's an even better value.

The...

Pros: Love it and searching for another as a gift
Cons: None in my range of usage

I have both the CS330 and CS430 and have excellent success using them with Sightspeed for as a videophone on my XP systems

Pros: 30 FPS, good video capture resolution, lens cover
Cons: Included software not XP compatible

I have one, It is great for a personal web cam. The video in jack is a big plus. I use XP and the camera works fine using windows movie maker, or any Instant messenger service. The create and share software however, is not designed for XP. You can run the "program compatibility wizard", and it will usually work. I found using movie maker to capture video clips , compile and edit them is very simple. XP will recognize the camera just by plug and play, and will allow you to take snapshots with software control, but the time lapse and other features are not available. With 98 all features are available and the included software works as designed. The camera itself is one of the best, too bad it's been discontinued!

Pros: GREAT DEAL
Cons: HELLO :)

HELLO THERE IS THIS GUY WHO I PURCHASED FROM HIM THIS CAMERA LATELY HE IS SELLING BRAND NEW INTEL PRO PC CAMERAS AWSOME DEAL :)

Pros: Lens cover (privacy cover), cool color, small, excellent quality
Cons: none

My friend has one of these and the quality is awesome; even better than the Intel Deluxe. The quality is there and the price isn't bad either!

Pros: The lux ratting on this camera is wonderful.
Cons: No it does not have a mic built in.

I personal feel the Intel PC pro CS430 Is one of the best web cams ever made for the money, No it does not have a mic built in. but the best and most attractive feature is no the RCA input jack on the back that excepts video from a cam corded or VCR, but the fact the camera works at such a low lighting level, The lux ratting on this camera is wonderful and will deliver video under candle light. I have used the camera on windows 98, Me, and XP. There have been no major conflict issues. I have purchased other cameras much more expensive and returned then to the place of purchase, I have not be able to find a better camera for the money.

Although in all other ways it continued to function rather well, the actual camera broke in about four months of recieving it, which was a big disappointment. There is a port in the back of the camera that allows you to connect a normal camcorder to the computer. I have used material recorded elsewhere in the software included with the webcam. I have also used the camcorder in "NetMeeting".
