Good computer camera

Postby gries818 » Fri Aug 07, 2009 12:46 am

A friend of mine is going into an intensive cancer treatment in a few days and won't be allowed to leave the hospital for a few months and wants a camera for her laptop to use with Skype. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good model? Probably on the cheaper side of things, but something good enough so that her family can get a good picture of her while she's away.

Thanks for the help! ^*^

I use a fairly aging LG which was low cost and gives quite a good pic, but I think the things to look for are best possible resolution and as wide an angle as possible. Other than that...price obviously. Lighting on mine is important, and I have to adjust that by placing lamps where there's not too much glare on me but enough light to pick up and transmit images OK.
