Reviews of the Creative Live Cam Optia AF
-
CNET Review
The Good: Can do remote monitoring and time-lapse video; ball-and-socket joint provides flexibility; camera rotates 270 degrees; stand works equally well on top of desk or atop a monitor.
The Bad: Image quality struggles in low light; buggy software; face tracking feature is useless.
The Bottom Line: If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.
