Have you ever thought about computer chips. All those little electrical components soldered to a wafer of green plastic. Well slap a silver casing, a few buttons and a lens on it and you've got this, a Creative CardCam Value Digital Camera.
Its only 1.8 ounces in weight and 3/4 inch thick yet it still holds 2MB of photos, not bad eh? It doesn't look bad either, in fact I think its a very attractive camera and its very cool.
It comes with a free CD which contains Creative PC-CAM Center, Creative WebCam Monitor, Ulead® PhotoExpress® MCE, Microsoft® NetMeeting. These programs are all really good fun to use and easy to understand. The WebCam monitor allows you to take pictures and record videos when the camera is plugged in to the computer, the PC-CAM Center lets you organise your photos and videos into albums, the Ulead PhotoExpress lets you use the camera in conjunction with your computer and I don't know what the NetMeeting is for.
The camera has a very helpful added bonus of being a webcam as well. You just plug the camera into the computer and load up a program which requires a webcam to start using.
The camera itself has several different functions for taking the photos: High Resolution Single Snapshot (640x480), Low Resolution Single Snapshot (320x240), High Resolution Time-Delayed Single Snapshot (takes a 640x480 snapshot after a 10 second delay) and Low Resolution Multiple Snapshot (takes 5 successive 320x240 snapshots).
As with all good cameras the box contains not just the camera but some essentials as well: 2 AAA batteries, USB Cable, Quickstart Manual, Driver and Application CD (this includes the programs mentioned earlier as well as the drivers for the camera)
Overall I would say that the camera is very good value for money, especially when you see the pictures, and a very good first camera, especially for younger or older people who may not be able to get to grips with a more complex camera (NO OFFENSE MEANT TO THOSE YOUNGER OR OLDER WHO ARE ABLE TO USE DIGITAL CAMERAS)
Advantages: Cheap, great product quality. Disadvantages: Poor picture resolution
Creative's product qualities are superb. I instantly fell in love with it. The software drivers and programs work flawlessly with my Windows98 SE PC.
A monitor program that turns the digit cam into a motion detector also works great. The USB stream video capture is smooth. Buyer beware that CardCam Value has an elementary resolution of 320x240, that's less than 0.01 mega pixels, that's only good for pictures that are slightly larger than thumbnails ... .... ... .. ........ ...... . ...... ... .... ........ ... .... ... . .. ... .... ..... ... ..... ... ....... .. ..... . . .. . ..... ..... ....... ... ... .... ....... . .. . ... .... ... ...

Advantages: The price was fair Disadvantages: Incomplete install
...I was not content with Creative Card Cam Value Digital Camera.
When I buy a product I like to have the install reach completion.When it fully installs it is then that I can really enjoy the pictures I have taken.After all I take pictures so I can see the results.If the install was non effective then I can not do so. ...
