The Creative LIVE! CAM Optia Pro is not MAC OSX compatible - Alexandra Athanassiou, Jul 13, 2009

I found out that the Creative LIVE! CAM OPTIA PRO is only compatible with Windows. It is not compatible with the MAC OSX operating system itself. I was misled by one of the reviews preceding mine. Glad I called [...] for that. The person who used this webcam on a mac has probably windows installed on the MAC, hence was able to use this webcam.

Neat webcam - B. Stoica, Jun 06, 2009

The camera works plug-and-play both with Windows XP and with Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (tested it with Skype), so no installation is required. The cd (which I only tested on Windows) comes with a whole bunch of stuff, some of which cool (motion detection capabilities, time-lapse pictures, etc), but most of which useless so be careful what you're installing. The image is really clear and the built-in microphone works well. The mount is designed so that it works both with thin laptop LCDs and with thicker desktop LCDs, but it's not very stable on laptops, in that it tends to fall off if I move /shake my laptop. It hangs on without a problem if I don't move my laptop though. Overall, definitely a good buy for its price.

excellent cam - Smita Modi, May 21, 2009

this is a great webcam! i was looking for a webcam that would work with my Powerbook (MAC) and was getting disappointed with the resolution of the cameras i was finding. This cam works great, did not have to install any software. just plug the USB in the computer and it give it a couple of seconds and there the picture shows up. the resolution is great, picture is clear and colors are great for it being a webcam. I love this purchase.

Great web cam and very easy - Mark in EDH, May 16, 2009

This Web Cam was super easy to install and use. I used the Skype software and I was upand running in no time having video conferences with my kids grandparents. The image is stunning and the communication clear. This is a must have and at a great price! I highly recommend.

Excellent Webcam - I. Marquis, May 13, 2009

I have been through a few webcams so far, and I finally found that this one fits my needs perfectly without any hassle. There is no set up, just plug and play. The head swivels in all axes, which I didn't know beforehand but was pleasantly surprised to find that out. The video quality is excellent, I use Gmail video chat. The built in mic works well, the people I talked with said that my voice was clear and loud.

I also like the mount, it fits my thicker LCD desktop monitor and my laptop screen. Overall, I'm really glad I bought this model. It is of high quality, and a great value.
