VF0050 Vista driver ! It works [Posted on 2007-07-09]
I was also about to give up trying to find a Vista driver for this great webcam, when I finally tried out the default Xp driver from the creative website.
After installing the driver, the last screen got stuck. I then logged out, and after logon, plugged the Webcam just to check, and ... it detected it correctly!
Works with MSN and Skype as it did running Xp !
sucks [Posted on 2008-02-08]
poor image quality. cant see anything unless it is daylight, or you have ten lights on. its stand is akward and doesnt really fit on anything, and the cord is a little too short.
Poor image quality, poor design [Posted on 2008-05-28]
I know, this is a cheaper camera. We're all trying to save these days. Still... this one is really bad.
The design: cheapy. Sorry, I couldn't come up with another word for it.
When my daughter went up to adjust it on the laptop, the base broke like it was made of sugar.
The video quality is really poor - both pixelized and choppy. So you basically can't use it other than as a talking head, and even then, IF you're not moving your head, your mouth, or breathing, then you *may* get a recognizable image...
For this price range, it's not the worse, but frankly, it's not doing very much for you. For $39.99, you can get an IPEVO POV webcam, that'll have much higher resolution, better frames per seconds (30fps, standard on all chat services), solid design so you aren't afraid it'll fall apart within 1 week, and you can hand it off to your kids to show grandma the dog without fearing for your $30...
Overall, very disappointing, even for that price.
Great Web Cam [Posted on 2008-06-24]
This may not be one of the best Web Cams available, but for the price it is a very good camera. Quality is great. If you have a high speed connection then you will enjoy using this camera. I have this one and I also upgraded and purchased the Creative Notebook Pro.
I am happy with both the products. Will definitely buy again.
Works on Linux [Posted on 2008-11-26]
I plugged it into my Ubuntu 8.10 system and it worked flawlessly and immediately without the installation of any drivers or other nonsense.
For anyone looking for an inexpensive webcam for use on a Linux system this is an excellent choice.
I haven't tried it on a Windows system.
