WEBCAM! Which one is the best? What should I get??

Asked by oratio (8940points) August 18th, 2009

I am looking for a really good web cam for video calls. Not notebook!. If you would share your experience or tip me off to something you know is good, I would be grateful.

The priority is not price, but quality streaming with good picture and colors.

I’ll appreciate any input.

Thank you.

Find the cheapest one. Except for some bells and whistles they are all the same.
I would say ball park around $50 .
Especially if you are doing video calls for the most part.

You could buy the built-in iSight, which comes with a free Mac :)

I just saw this earlier today. It looks pretty good.

Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP does a nice job, from what I see on the other end. The MS cam does look promising, but it’s not shipping.

Logitech, Microsoft, and Creative are all favourable companies for webcams. Which of these is the best I’m afraid I don’t know.

I got a Logitech Quick Cam. I like it. It does the job and it wasn’t expensive. I got it on sale at Staples for US$25.
