Summary: Poor product, terrible software
Review: I am quite computer literate and tried this product under both Windows 2000 and RedHat Fedora Core 3 Linux.
Win2K install is relatively easy. The webcam is so so if your light level is poor, but I would expect that from a webcam. Now the software that comes with it is horrible. I crashes randomly, sometimes after just 3 seconds!
Now is you want to try it with Linux, tough luck, as this webcam manufacturer didn't give away any driver or documentation to people willing to make a driver. Definitely not supported.
I would not buy that camera again and you should definitely try another manufacturer.

Summary: love it, love it, love it !!!!!!
Review: This camera is great. I tried the Veo Velocity Connect Web Camera which I thought was already a decent web cam, but the NX pro blows it away. It is easy and fast to install. Very user friendly for people who just want to stay in touch. All the settings are easy to adjust to your needs.
The only thing that is a little tricky is attaching it to my flat screen monitor, but it's no big deal if the monitor is not moved around a lot.
The picture quality is great, even in low lighting it stays clear. I absolutely love it.

Summary: Let's Get real
Review: I am computer literate and have modern, fast gear. I was unable to get reasonable performance from the NX pro. My friend's logitech works somewhat better. Any movement at all created image problems on this unit. The manual is poor, support online weak. Creative products continue to operate as if it's still 1995. Even the driver hung up on two systems! Move along, folks...nothing to see here.

Summary: Great Camera for the Price!
Review: I am highly impressed with the lighting quality of this camera. It auto adjusts and does a phenomenal job even in dim light. I am also very impressed that the tripod legs sit great on my thin laptop screen. The video does tend to be a bit delayed and slow, but some of that may be due to internet connection. Overall this is a great buy for personal use.

Summary: Works great, easy to use
Review: My first attempt at buying/using a webcam was a cheap fifteen D-Link that I couldn't figure out how to use at all. I read the reviews on this cam that were sterling & even a reviewer had a link of a saved simple movie he did which had great color & clairity where you can read what he wrote on paper that was a good two feet away. It also automatically adjusts to changes in light & motion. Focus is done simply by manually moving the lens piece. Adjusting tint, color, expolsure, backlight, etc. is very easy to find in the software & understand. The video capture to either pics or saved movies (with sound if you want)& saving software is very easy. It works fine & great with Win XP & works great with Yahoo & AIM.

Summary: Very solid camera and can't beat the price with rebate!
Review: Just purchased this Creative Webcam NX PRO and it rocks! First webcam purchase though, so that's why it's 4 stars---can't compare it to anything else. I have a nice Canon A70 digital camera that CAN be used for short periods as a webcam but I haven't tried that function.
Kudos to Amazon.com for INCREDIBLY fast shipping! I know they have warehouses in different locations for different items but ordering an item on the 16th of December and receiving the item on the 17th of December!!! Unbelievable...and there was no shipping upgrade...Free SuperSaver Shipping...during the Holidays? That is amazing! Tried out the camera and since I have overhead lighting, it was kind of disappointing but understandable that my face was shrouded in shadows. I have to fix the lighting situation. A nice lamp behind my monitor should work.
As mentioned in other reviews, the stand is hopeless! The weight of the usb cable can pull it down unless it is cleverly managed. Creative needs to put some money into their products and give us a solid base--or a solid clip and name it a notebook webcam.
As for length of cable...it is fine. If you want to keep it somewhere else...buy a USB extension cable duh! Creative can't possibly provide everything and keep the cost reasonable.
The only thing I was disappointed with immensely was the lack of USB 2.0. I don't know when this camera was originally manufactured but the lack of affordable USB 2.0 cameras is astounding...especially at the end of the year 2004.
Haven't tried the software or microphone yet...maybe later I will update review.
I just plugged in the webcam and put in the NX PRO driver Cd when XP PRO asked me for a driver location. It installed it and then I loaded up Yahoo Messenger and it activated my webcam effortlessly. VERY EASY. I'll load the Creative software later if I have time to dabble.
Very good deal for (...) total after a (...) rebate. Excellent work Amazon.com and Creative!
