The Creative PC-CAM 600 comes with a host of new features such as a dual aperture, focus-free glass lens for quick and easy snapshots and brighter clearer stills and videos, as well as an advanced XGA CCD sensor. Its configurable intelligent strobe flash ensures that the "red-eye" syndrome - a common occurrence when photos are snapped using the flash - is almost eradicated. With its whopping 16MB of memory, users can now store over 200 images at 640x80 (VGA) resolution, 85 images at true 1024x768 (XGA) resolution, or 20 images at 1.3 Megapixels (1280x960) hardware scaled resolution.
The flexible Creative PC-CAM 600 also serves as a desktop PC camera while tethered to the PC, enabling video e-mail, video conferencing, sharing images over the Internet, and includes motion-detection spycam features. The Creative PC-CAM 600 enhances pictures taken on the move to a further 1280x960 resolution for higher quality and superior pictures. Thanks to its ability to hold up to 75 seconds of video and 60 minutes of audio, the Creative PC-CAM 600 is perfect for the easy creation of mini-movies at 352x288 resolution complete with realistic colours and smooth `live` full-motion video and audio.
