 A good choiceJul 04, 2005
By M. Brodsky
I just installed Creative's Live Ultra Webcam and Live Ultra Webcam Notebook Version on my two computers and tested our videoconferencing with each other. The true USB 2.0 connection struck me as an advantage in purchasing this item. For the most part, I am happy. The quality of the video is good. I activated the feature that causes the camera to zoom in and out automatically to track the face of the user, and it worked quite well in "continuous" mode. There is one clear glitch, which is that on both of my computers (Win XP) I cannot get the computer to recognize the cam without disconnecting and reconnecting the USB connection each time I reboot. Creative's tech support people initially suggested just reinstalling the software, which was the lazy way out and did nothing but waste my time.
I used Yahoo Messenger to arrange the videoconferencing. I found the instructions for doing this pretty useless, but eventually I figured it out (I think). Making the connection is one challenge. Getting the connection to work at a tolerable speed (what Yahoo calls Super Webcam mode) is darn near a mystery, though with enough trial and error it happens. (Given that Creative Labs promotes Yahoo Messenger and vice versa, I cannot fathom why so little attention was given to instructing purchasers of this webcam how to use Messenger. Companies that make add-ons routinely make silly mistakes with instructions that only serve to drive up their costs of service and aggravate their customers, but that's a broader subject.) I have a personal firewall via my virus software, and I think it may have helped to ratchet that back.
Modest irritants aside, the product itself seems very solid, and once you get it working it's easy to use the features and the quality is good.

 Totally impressedMay 15, 2005
By John the Italian
I only wanted to spend 50 bucks for a webcam, and I saw this Creative Labs Live! line. I actually intended to buy the regular Live, and not the Ultra, based on what people were saying. When I got to the store, though, all the info people kept raving about was mostly actually details about THIS camera, that they had confused with the more basic version. I haven't used the Live! but I can tell you this is worth the price so it's certainly worth the difference in price.
Not only is it quick and easy to install but the picture quality is great. For some people at high-res video it might be a little grainy (colored noise I mean) but it's nothing you pay attention to. The thing that surprised me is you can EDIT the video with sliders! Color saturation, gamma, contrast, etc... like the basic Photoshop of video, even while the feed is taking place. Comes with a cute headset, plenty of options and file formats. It even looks cool. This feels ritzy to own, but because of how functional it is, and how good it is at doing what it's supposed to. Pleasantly surprised, and glad it worked out this way.

Software ConflictJun 12, 2005
By Carl William Sisco
"Carl"
I purchased the Creative Labs Live Ultra WebCam VF0060 for my home PC. Unfortunatley, it would never give a video picture. I phoned Creative Labs and their Tech. support people indicated a conflict with Haupauge WinTV. The only choice offered was to delete the WinTV software or return the webcam to Amazon. Before I chose to return the webcam, I tried it on my daughters laptop that does not have WinTV loaded. The video and audio feeds where excellent. The moral: If you have WinTV loaded on your computer, this isn't the webcam for you!

Not a Five Star CameraAug 12, 2006
By R. Straw
I trust Creative Lab. We have several of their electronics, from speakers to Mp3 players. Infact, my first computer housed Sound Blaster.
I am female electronic junky. I have computer knowledge. I wanted to buy a webcam, the most expensive, top of the line. I was impressed with what I had read on the website, and I bought the Laptop camera, and also bought this one. I thought it'd be fun to make movies for Youtube, and others, and was told this camera would be able to make movies. So, I bought it.
It installed in minutes, and supposebly, it registerred. I was expecting some of the fun software on the website, to be available with this camera, but, with several emails to Creative, come to find out, this webcam doesn't support the Advanced Effects software, downloaded for free from the web site. Lucky for me, I have Windows Movie Maker, and also Adobe Photo Shop. The little home made movies worked great on the computer, but on You Tube, there wasn't a high enough frame rate, unless you use the time lapse recording. As for still pics, my Nikon L3 Coolpix works much better, and can also make short movies, with great sound, and looks great on other websites, but doesn't double as a web cam. Hence, the reason I bought an actual webcam.
The microphone with Webcam Ultra has good sound quality, but is only useable with Yahoo Messenger, not very well with YouTube, or other fun websites. To me, it should also be workable with AIM. The lighting, for a webcam, isn't too shabby. The shadowing could be improved, though, as in low light conditions, or tricky lighted conditions, the webcam doesn't do well. In motion, the Webcam doesn't do as well as it should, but for the price, it's not too bad. I gave it four stars due to it's inablility to make decent moving movies. The webcam also can be a motion detector, and time-lapse recording, and also can do remote detecting. Though, it needs a longer USB cord for doing any of this.

Creative Labs - Live Ultra WebcamOct 02, 2005
By William A. Morehouse
Installation was simple except for one flaw in which I had to email Creative technical support for help. The installation went fine and I was able to record video after the install. However, I didn't have any audio to go with the video on playback. I sent an email to Creative Tech Support describing my problem and they responded within 24 hours and provided a weblink to their Knowledge Base that lead me directly to the symptoms of "No Audio". I followed their knowledge base instructions and corrected my audio problem. I just wondered why during the installation they didn't take me through the audio set-up if the audio was not automatically configured during installation. Other then that one incident I've been enjoying this option on my PC and in-spite of this initial problem and would recommend this device.
