Creative Webcam Live Ultra: Creative take it up to Logitech

As a consumer, isn't it great when you have two large established companies competing against each other to bring out a better, more cost efficient product compared with the other. It's a war that has seen NVidia and ATI repeatedly trade blows in the graphics card market. Well it's no different with Creative and Logitech when it comes to PC speakers and Webcams. Both the Creative Webcam Live Ultra and Creative Webcam Live Ultra for Notebooks have much to offer to the average consumer, and thus delivering a punch to the guts of Logitech.

We have been selling webcams pretty consistently, as it seems more and more people are getting into online chat and gaming. Like when buying any product, you need to balance quality with cost, and it seems that Creative's latest range seem to do that very well. Both of the Live Ultra's have an excellent quality and sensory lens, being able to track the user's head movements. They also have a frame rate of up to 30fps, which will reduce the "staggering video effect" that we experience with the cheaper and older webcams. Many webcams come with an inbuilt microphone, however Creative have opted to supply headsets with both of the Live Ultra's. I think this is a good move, as voice reproduction will be far more even. And finally the price of both of these webcams is very reasonable for what you get. Great bang for buck!
