Creative Webcam (PD1001) review


Installation & software :
The installation of this cam is very easy , you only need the install the drivers of the card , reboot your pc, and stick’em in :p

The following software is bundled with the cam :
  • Video Blaster® WebCam™ Control
  • Ulead Photo Express 4.0 My Custom Edition
  • Video Blaster® WebCam™ Monitor
  • PixMaker™ & PixScreen™
  • Creative™ Media Ring Talk


    I don’t use much of the software, only the Webcam Control panel, which is a nice simple program to make a little pic or a video clip. The only thing that bugs me is that it is sometimes very slow, although this could be the fault of my pc (only a P3 450MHz).


    The Webcam :

  • Build quality :
    The cam is very light but that’s not a problem because it stands stable on top of my monitor J The cam can be turned to the left/right and up/down on his blue feet


  • Image quality :
    The image quality of this cam is very good only the quality of snapshots is a bit less sometimes, but I expected it to be worse because of the very low price of this cam. The only problem I had with that with the original drivers the image was sometimes over lighted, but with the newest drivers which released on 09/08/2002 the problem is solved.
