Cool Web Cam, which one?

Spanners Jr says he would like a web cam to talk to his mates!

I have no idea on such things, are they much of a muchness? Or are there vast differences, guess drivers could be the biggest issues.

Running windoz xp home edition, P3-600, lots of ram/hdd space, Creative anihilator 256 using nvidia drivers, Networked to my pc by x-over cable and nic's for internet sharing which is broadband.

Any experiences, suggestions or otherwise most welcome.

spannersatcx,

I have found the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 USB WebCam to be a very good Webcam.

Specs:

Interface: USB2.0
Sensor: 1/4" VGA CCD(1.3 mega)
Frame Rate: 30fps@(160x120&320x240),15fps@640x480
Max. Resolutions: 640x480(24 bit color)





Take Care,

Richard

Me just bought a Q Cam (USB).
Half the price of others and very capable.
640 x 480 pxels, 30 FPS and looks the biz.
Highly recomended.

Spannersatcx,

Had a couple of web cams. Very little difference in them, apart from price. Broadband makes the difference obviously. I chat with friends in Canada on a £25 camera bought from local QVC shop. Almost tv pic quality. Wouldn't spend too much on one !

T.I.M.
