CeBIT 2007: Creative Improves on its Live! Cam Optia

19 Mar, 2007, 11:59 am IST | Gagan Gupta |

Creative's new Live! Cam Optia AF has some great new features that will be more practical than cosmetic.

Firstly, as the name suggests, there's auto focus in the newer edition, along with face tracking technology to ensure that the camera will always be focusing on your face rather than a flower vase or a poster behind you. Plus, it now has dual microphones built-in along with added audio noise reduction, so your speech will not only be louder, but also clearer.

Of course, there's also that little jump in the camera's resolution from 1.3 megapixel to 2 megapixel.

The expected retail price for this one is a steep $154, but hopefully it should drop before it hits the streets this April.
