What’s great about it: Easy, Easy, Easy, and Easy….did I mention easy?
What’s not so great: Not as compatible as it claims
First things first, the price was good and that’s really a big chunk of why I bought the Creative webcam in the first place. I thought I’d give it a try and, if I didn’t like it, I could always return it and opt for something a little pricier.
When I got it home, I had a look at the installation instructions and figured that they must have been joking. It seemed too easy. But, I did what they said to do and the whole process went through like a breeze. Worked on the first try, was quick and I’ve never seen easier. It’s not just the installation that’s easy, either. You know those original portable MP3 players, with the 100 functions and only 3 buttons. I could never get one of those things to work. Them I bought one of the popular ones with all the commands on the dial. The difference was amazing. Both machines do the same thing, but one might as well be from Mars and the other practically runs itself.
I had the same sensation working with this webcam. It is just too easy to use. The only problem I really came across was trying to install it on the new laptop I got my daughter for school. It runs on Vista and I couldn’t get the camera installed. I am still not sure if the problem is compatibility or if I am doing something wrong, but it’s the only complaint I have.
