My webcam is really crappy. Can anyone recommend a decent one as I want to get a really good one.

Thanks.

As far as I know (not that much) an new model Sanyo anything in the way of cameras is good.

All these fancy gadgets, you posh bird!

What's wrong with two tin cans and a piece of string?!

CasG

Nothing - but have to have a bloody long piece of string

Don't worry, that Debs can really chat. You just need to open a window and you can here her.

Is that what that noise is? Thought my telly was on the blink

You'll be safe with anything by Logitech but might pay a bit more for the privilege. Also depends whether you want a built-in mic or not too? I got one for the father-in-law from our local shop in town - can't even remember the brand now but it was decent for £20.

This one I've seen in action and seems pretty good - Logitech Quickcam Messenger

I would agree with wmoore, we have the Logitech Quickcam Messenger (using through Yahoo Messenger) and the picture quality is great. I've still no broadband and neither does my parents in Ireland but it works fine, hopefully I'll get broadband installed and it will be even better.

Are you in Oz ? most of the larger stores like Dick Smith and Harvey Norman sell the Logitech Quickcam Messenger for about $80.

Good luck.

We've got a Logitech camera too and its fantastic. Think ours cost around $120 in Harvey Norman. Go through Yahoo Messenger (much better than MSN messenger). Broadband didn't make a huge difference to the picture quality but are now able to talk as well whereas before there was a real delay on the conversation.

I have a Labtec webcam.



It's pretty decent. But if you want something more fancy, like with buttons and such, then I don't recommend this one (instead take a look at the Labtec pro).

WHAT WAS THAT STEVE

Wayne - that is the one that I have already and it is no very clear.

We've just got a bizarre eyeball thingy! Logitech QuickCam Orbit Webcam. It follows you as you move and keeps you centre in the picture (as long as you don't have too much clutter around you). It also has a built in mic that is handy. Ex[pensive - but we got it cheaper on E-bay, (still brand new though). I'm giving it to my mom so we can communicate when we move - (also got her a Multi region DVD last cristmas, that plays Jpgs, so we can send over picture discs that she can play on her DVD) Desparatly wanting to keep contact.

Ignore this if you like but some webcams have to be focussed

I have tried that but it gives a dark and blurred image for the person viewing.
Anyone got CREATIVE WEBCAM NX ULTRA ?
