JMac Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Hi Guys, I was looking into investing in a webcam and was wondering if you guys could recomend any... Quote
krit86lr Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I use a digital hp that I like. It really depends on what you need one for I guess. Just stay away from Logitech. :D Quote
krit86lr Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Oh! And I would suggest getting one that has a built in mic on it as well. Quote
JMac Posted August 11, 2006 Author Posted August 11, 2006 ok i noticed microsoft got into the webcam market. Quote
Capman Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 My brother has this one Jmac: Logitech webcam. And I know for a fact it is awesome. Quote
JMac Posted August 11, 2006 Author Posted August 11, 2006 Capman thanks for that but a few posts ago krit86lr said stay away from logitech :D Quote
Capman Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I know, I am not sure why, but she must have her reasons. I personally have tried the one that I suggested and found it to work great. Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted August 11, 2006 Administrator Posted August 11, 2006 I've used a Logitech before (borrowed) and it worked great. Krit, why do you say to avoid it? Quote
krit86lr Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I said that because DjLizard said that to me once. No other reason really. I have a Logitech and a HP. I prefer the hp, but use whatever you like. :D Quote
zaphirer Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I use an old Intel PC camera, which works surprisingly well and works every time on plug and play. Strange for technology, newer is not always better :D Quote
Mangix Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 i currently use a Logitech QuickCam messenger and it works great. there are a few problems with it such as Skype not being able to display the video(Skype's fault because other programs can) and it doesn't work if you have IE7 installed(the drivers probably rely on the explorer dlls that IE7 doesn't use.

I have IE7 installed, and I don't have any problems with my hp...so that is a good reason to not use Logitech then. roflmao j/k They'll come out with an update once IE7 is final I'm sure. But I will try it with my Logitech and see if I have any problems. Quote
Mangix Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 well, untill they do, i'm not getting my hands on IE7. IE7 is truly worse than IE6 :D Quote
JMac Posted August 17, 2006 Author Posted August 17, 2006 After some consideration i think i will look about getting the one CapMan suggested Thanks again guys Quote
