I've got Creative as well.. huh.. can't tell you the model, though..

I would imagine they're all pretty much the same.. mrs squirrel gets nice clear pics, but I get blurry blotchy ones using the web cam center, so that's not so cool.. better live streaming I guess.. got the face tracking and some other stuff to make it easy to adjust horizontally and vertically

umm.. but I am going on here.. get anything, I guess.. the limiting feature isn't the camera but the internet I think

Those Lenovo's look right nice but some pricey...

Kind of like this one, don't know why, but it has a talk feature and it's a Sony Very Happy Not cheap, though.

yeah, some have mics built in which could be cool (as long as you didn't get an echo from your own speakers)..

Why do you need their software?

Walk down the aisle and read the specs off the side of the box.

640x480 x 30FPS is nice and won't overload most internet connections.

320x240 x 15 FPS just plain sucks for quality but is fast if you are transmitting to someone on a dial-up connection.

1024x768 x 30 FPS is sweet but will soak up a lot of bandwidth.

How bout it Bum, can you adjust the settings so when I'm camming to Thailand w/ a blazing speed of .5m there won't be a bandwidth problem?

yeah, you can choose the resolution, plus chatting programs let you set them to be optimized for speed/quality. should be no problem.
