Cool piece of hardware |
| I have this for almost a year now. It works great with yahoo messenger. Its quality is visible to the naked eye compared to other cheaper webcams. The face tracking software is just cool. |

CCD makes a difference |
Face-tracking~wide-area view, etc. is all fine but the essential component of this unit is it uses CCD (charged coupled device) rather than a CMOS. This makes a HUGE difference to (a) clarity of picture (b) Exposure.
In layman's terms - CCD-devices are the de facto standard in every handy-cams/video-equipment in the market today. CMOS is nowhere a match to CCD in terms of quality/resolution/contrast & hue.
I have done a through and in-depth search of other options available applicable for personal/home use within this price-range and found NONE using CCD.
The additional features - digi-zoom and face-tracking is a DEFINITE plus at this cost - in fact again found very few alternatives at this price-range.
One can always check the support site - through the software itself for upgrades/patches/etc.
For a cost-consious buyer who wishes to purchase a web-cam primarily for their near-and-dear ones - this is a terrific buy.
The only caveat: Wish this camera was USB 2.0 compatible! |

great followup to older models |
I had/have the Pro EX model and this NX Ultra holds onto the top of the notebook computer much better. The colors are very warm and image is SHARP.
I've used it on Yahoo and AIM chat clients with no issues as of yet.
Reviews mention that landscaped picture is not sufficient in 1 on 1 video conferencing. Not necessarily true. Yahoo has a setting in the webcam that allows for zoom. This setting held over into AIM's viewing session as well.
Extremely reasonable pricing, which is why I've been buying Creative for the last 2 years. The sale prices(...)and quality of the item is a great impression of the company overall.
I'm very happy with this NX Ultra purchase. |
