The Creative Live! Cam Optia enhances your web experience by providing awesome video streaming capabilities. Similar to Logitech's latest line of Quickcams, the Optia has a 1.3MP sensor for taking still photos. Though the stills are interpolated, they are still of good quality. In terms of video recording, the Optia allows for 640 x 480 sizes for recording.

With Windows XP SP 2, you won't need any installation drivers for this accessory which is a really good thing. The real estate design of the Optia allows you to sit the camera on top of almost any computing surface, be it a desk, a CRT monitor, or a thin LCD monitor.

The Optio will cost around $129.00.
