Review: Works like a charm. Great clarity even in low lighting. Easy set-up. Great software and microphone supplied. What more you can you ask for $35.00.

Highly Recommended.

Summary: Nervous breakdown in a box.
Review: I bought this WebCam based on the glowing recommendations here at Amazon. I realize that every configuration is not the same and there can be glitches and problems. But after hours of installing, reinstalling going online and tinkering, this product simply does not work. According to device manager it is working properly, the green power light is on, but nobody is home. No picture. Nothing. I am using Windows XP Home on a newer high end Toshiba. Also note that the Quick Start brochure is also not accurate, which I had to learn by going to Creative's website. Personally, I actually like the flimsy stand that everyone else seems to hate. It's possible that I just was shipped a bad unit. But as for now it is DOA, so my experience has been very frustrating. A waste of time and money.

Summary: Very good
Review: The imagen's very clear and fast, the resolution is great, the software's very useful and easy to install. The only weakness is the base because it's dificult to find a good estability, but nothing that you can't resolve it.

La imagen es muy clara y rapida, muy buena resolucion, el programa es muy util y facil d instalar. La unica debilidad es la base porque cuesta encontrar una buena estabilidad, pero nada que no se pueda resolver.

Summary: Easy to set-up and use
Review: This is my first webcam. It was VERY easy to use. However, as usual, Creative included minimal documentation. As long as the installation CD "auto-starts," you can just follow the prompts. I use it with Yahoo Chat and it works very well. I cannot comment on the microphone feature as I already have a one in my headset that I use. For the price, I think the NX Pro is an excellent value.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great webcam
Review: This is a great webcam. Considering it's style and performance, it is over my expectation. Works great with Yahoo messenger, ICQ video and Netmeeting. Auto lighting is excellent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Image quality superior to pricy Logitech Quickcams
Review: This is my fourth webcam, purchased because of a promotion in a local store. I owned all generations of the Logitech Quickcam dynasty, from the parallel port, the Messenger, to the Pro, and tried many others, but this small webcam has the best color quality of all.
The Quickcam Messenger, that costs about the same as this NX webcam , is a waste of money: colors are drab and images are blurry. It is basically identical to the ancient parallel port camera with its tiny useless resolution. The Quickcam Pro, which costs almost double, offers much better image quality, and I thought it to be the gold standard. It is a smart design incorporating the microphone into the webcam and decent image size. The downside is that using a USB device as microphone is a tad tricky.
To my surprise, the clunky-looking Webcam NX Pro is superior to all Logitech webcams in the most important category - image quality and color. Using it with MSN Messenger and NetMeeting makes the videoconferencing livlier and less jumpy. Although the supplied microphone is separate, it allows you to place it closer to you and improve the sound quality.
There is a new guy atop the webcam heap, and it is the WebCam NX Pro.

Summary: Great Cam
Review: My cam works well in dim light adn I had *no* problems with the stand whatsoever, installing was simple it couldnt have been easier the only problem I have is my cam flickers from time to time but other than that I thinkits great! and great buy for the price

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth buying (again)
Review: This is my first webcam, and so long as it doesn't break, will likely be my last!
The picture quality is good, with natural colors/skin tones. At night, it does need plenty of light; my one CFL lamp doesn't do a great job. No need to adjust the default settings, though focus occasionally needs some playing around with (have had good focus within my room, ~15 ft).
With the back leg bent, it doesn't sit well on flat surfaces; but stays. Use the back leg as a clamp on some sort of a wall (my PDA's cradle, or notebook LCD), and it sits gingerly, but hasn't fallen off.
I got it with a rebate and another Amazon gift check, so for the half-price that I paid, it was Absolute VFM :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great product
Review: In a few words:
Very good sound and picture quality, especially for the price.
Easy to set up and use and much preferred over logitec's similarly priced products.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great product, good value
Review: I bought this camera for my mom for Christmas based on other reviews and loved it! It cost about the same as the web cam I own and the picture is sharper and brighter than mine. Installation was easy on XP and my Mom and I chat on MSN almost daily. My brother now owns one and I'm about to buy one for myself. The stand is a bit flimsy (that's why 4 stars, not 5), but I find that if you flip the back leg all the way back and stand it up like a tripod on flat surfaces, it's fairly stable. I think this web cam is a GREAT value and I can't understand how the people who gave negative reviews had such problems.
