i want to buy a webcam

but do you get what you pay for?? how many megapixel do i need?
do i have to spend $100 or more to get a decent one?
what brands and models do you have and do you like yours?

i saw one on sale for $65. i would like to spend even less but i am afraid it would be wasted money on a crap camera. cheers people. cool

If this isn't being used to show us your assets, I see no reason in posting a helpful response.

There is only one name in webcam Logitech. They can be bought for around 40 dollars or up. You can buy them off ebay for less.

If you stick to the webcam I told you to get, you will be very happy, that's one of the best to use with messenger programs and much of the rest of the internet webcam stuff.

I mean, if you wanted a better image, for the price you ain't going to get better, but if money wasn't an object I would tell you to get a miniDV camcorder that can also be used for webcam. However this is overkill.

that is true, however one of the cheapest logitech you can get your hands on is still far better then most of the wannabe webcams on the market. Logitech is been at making webcams for much longer then most.
