Hi folks,

I'm looking to buy a webcam to replace the attrociously bad one I bought a while ago (Mustek PC Line, blue lens). I wondered if anyone had purchased or come across any webcams that are particularly clear, bright, and if possible, not too 'grainy.'

Typically, I'm looking for a high quality cam in the region of £20-£30 but will be prepared to go slightly over this budget if necessary.

640x480 resolution, and 30 FPS is generally what I'm looking for, and preferably I would like it to sit on top of my monitor, which is a standard monitor, not a TFT one.

All help appreciated, thanks in anticipation. :)

Philips Toucam Pro.....mainly as this is the one you can use in a telescope, making it future proof.

You really shouldn't be helping to destory the worlds forests Gordon

Think of all the trees that have to be cut down to make those log Itechs! :rolleyes:
