  • Image quality struggles in low light; buggy software; face tracking feature is useless
  • If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better -- and slightly cheaper -- webcam ...

  • This is the best Web camera that we laid our hands on. It has Auto focus that works really well, 1.3 MegaPixel native resolution and 8 MegaPixel interpolated, which will be good for anyone. It can record video, it has great sound and the most important...
