Hello!
Can someone help me?
I'm looking fo a nice webcam (actually a couple for me and my mom), nothing fancy or expensive just enough for chatting and that you dont look like a robot (poor frame capture?)
I'll appreciate any info on the matter :) !!!!!
Thanks,

Gianna

Umm,
If your systems have USB, grab anything with the USB plug..
There are only MINOR differences, in most of them.
1 feature you cant see is the Quality and amount of CCD..
other feature you MAY want, but isnt cheap(and SHOULD BE) is a focus ring..

NOW, if you look around..
there is a company that makes a 3.1 mega pixel camera, that works as a net cam.. Its in the $80 range and takes Ram cards also..
But using the USB plug you wont get past 15fps on High speed.

Any brand you think will be good?
Someone had recomended Genius or logitech, both have 30fps cams...

I have teh Quickcam Orbit from Logitech and love it. It's their more pricey webcam, but the other models use most of the same elctronics, so I would think they would be safe.
