WEB CAM

[levi2]

Can anyone recommend a good webcam heres what i got and the problems with them I have a fuji finepx digital camera which you can use as a webcam the refresh rate is good all video movement blah blah is great no lagging only thing is its a bit poor in low light and and theres no settings you can alter. Then i got a mikomi webcam with 1.3 meg camera the pic qulity in light or dark is brill so is the colours but the picture stutters and kinda moves in frames rather than free flowing i did alter some settings which make it a bit better but still lags behind about 2 to 3 secs so any ideas would be great

I swear by the intel - I have one (Intel Easy PC Camera) with me for the last six years and its still works like new inspite of some bad treatment. I'll recommend it any day........Go for it , you will never regret it.

i have a mikomo too!! same problem ! i thought it might of been the broadband speed,as the higher the resolution the more bandwidth it will consume ,hence the lag !! probably when we get some decent speeds it will iron itself out!! cheers steve

yo oldsage hrmm dont think it will because if you do a test viewing yerself on the pc not linked to anything its still the same if you use windows live messenger go into the webcam option and uncheck the low light box it does perform better but still slight lag of about 1to 2 secs

I went out shopping in tesco,and found one of their brands for about £5. works great !! no different to the other one,but it has a lower res!! although you cant tell!! Steve
