i need new webcam

bigl2007 · 10-22-2008, 08:58 PM

ok my old webcam is prettymuch broke cuz it doesnt display me with the right color and lighting like it used to i even reinstalled the driver and it didnt help none so i think i droped it way too many times so thats why its not working for me now cyz i had it resting on a flatscreen lcd monitor prettymuch and it kept falling alot of the time.

i was wondering like if i want to do instant messnger like yahoo messenger webcam and stuff while im chatting with buddies what webcam would you recommend that i can take pictures with as well as chat on messenger and get good frames? and how much would it cost for this particular webcam i have in mind?

i used to have this webcam tho i might want to try something more flatscreen friendly or something lol also i would like one to use for video as well that has that feature too

by the way i had the gray model of this

This is the one I use...there are cheaper ones but I am really impressed with the quality of picture it delivers. Microphone works well, clear and loud sound. Looks good in all types of lighting also. I just plugged it in and it worked with everything, Yahoo messenger, Skype and still pictures. Great web cam, had it for about 2 years and works like new still.

Mine is pretty much the same as ScOuT's except his has double the picture size and is from Logitech.

I'm pretty sure during setup you can disable the cam's mic. If not, then I'm sure there is a setting for it somewhere.
