Creative Live! Cam Optia - Driverless USB Webcam Reviewed

Everything USB has reviewed supposedly a unique USB Video Class-compliant webcam from Creative. (Microsoft and Logitech have switched their cams to UVC since the the introduction of the Creative cam.) In the review, the reviewer praises the Creative Live! Cam Optia for its frame rate consistency, macro manual focus ring, hidden Mac compatibility as well as the excellent universal mount. This is like Creative's best cam, but still doesn't rival Logitech Ultra QuickCam in terms of software and image quality.

"Inexpensive and driverless - two words that any computer user can appreciate, especially after having gone through a few upgrades that caused problems of their own. As a basic VGA webcam without a microphone that adheres to the relatively new USB Video Class specification, Creative's Live! Cam Optia fills such a void. Are these enticements worth the hassle? Read on to find out."
