Creative Live Cam Optia Webcam Review

by Alan Stafford

- The $65 (as of 2/14/07) Live Cam Optia is a small, compact Webcam that's designed for portability: It has a spring-loaded clip that you can use to attach it to a laptop's screen, and the lens body rotates 270 degrees so you can capture video or still shots either of yourself or of someone directly in front of the laptop (or the stars above, if you prefer).

Reviewed by: rumple21

Duration of ownership: 5 Days

Strengths: Hardware is great.

Weaknesses: The provided software does not want to install and connect with the camera. I'm told this can be corrected by support. I get "Error Loading V027oCvw.dll the specific module could not be found"

Overall Evaluation: Great camera awful software.
