Comment: Creative announce two new webcams from as little as £25. Both are due out in September.

Creative WebCam NX Pro, the versatile all-round solution, and Creative WebCam NX, the first choice for new users, are the latest additions to Creative's WebCam range

Creative, the worldwide leader in digital entertainment products for the personal computer and the Internet, announces the WebCam NX Pro and WebCam NX, the latest products in the company's award-winning WebCam family. Their innovative design includes a unique multi-purpose desktop stand, which can clip securely to standard monitors, flat panel LCDs and notebook displays. Built using top-quality materials, the WebCam NX models are available in bright, modern colours and will bring an element of style to any desktop.

The Creative WebCam NX Pro is a powerful system that offers users outstanding image quality. Built around an advanced 640x480 CMOS sensor, it delivers full-size VGA video or stills up to 1024x768 (interpolated). It comes with a separate microphone that can be clipped to a monitor or to clothing to give high-quality audio when the user is recording video clips or joining a videoconference. Connecting via USB, it's easy to install and comes with a full suite of software for videoconferencing and messaging, still image and video editing, sharing and management, video e-mails and even live 'spycam' use. The Creative WebCam NX Pro will cost £39.99 incl. VAT and will be available in September.

"This is the ideal solution for users who want to get straight down to sharing high-quality images for fun or for business," comments Geraldine Lee, European brand manager for WebCams with Creative. "Its high-end resolution and comprehensive software bundle make it a great 'all in one' buy."

The Creative WebCam NX gives a fast-track entry to video-based communications. It will capture video at up to 352x288 and stills at up to 640x480 (interpolated), enabling users to add images to on-line communications and explore the world of videoconferencing on the Internet. Connecting via USB, it's easy to install and comes with all the feature-packed software needed for a quick start. Available now, the Creative WebCam NX costs £24.99 incl. VAT.

"This is a superb WebCam for people looking for a faster, easier entry to videoconferencing," explains Geraldine Lee. "Its advanced features include automatic exposure control and white balance, and the software bundle enables people to use it in a variety of ways straight out of the box.

"People trust Creative to deliver value and quality," adds Lee, "and these new cameras confirm this commitment. Whether users want to enjoy videoconferencing and messaging with video, or just want to capture and share high-quality images, these WebCams will perform. And because they can be mounted on just about any screen, they will adapt as users follow the emerging trend and migrate from monitors to LCDs, or from desktops to notebooks. It's this sort of attention to detail that makes these systems special."
