Looking for a webcam
I'm new to the forums and would really appreciate a recommendation on a webcam. I would like to keep the price below $40.00. I'll be using it for Skype under Ubuntu 8.04. I am not sure if the under $50 ones are any good.
Here are the two I am considering: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826105033 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826193045 I don't think my needs are too demanding in that I just need it for Skype video calls. Thanks! |
Actually, I wouldn't spend any more than $20.00, if you can avoid it.
I bought a cheesy little Gigaware USB 2.0 webcam off-the-shelf, and it's worked fine everywhere I've used it. Including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora ... and Windows. None of these are the exact model - but those in the $15.00 - $30.00 range should give you an idea of what I recommend looking for: http://www.radioshack.com/search/ind...kw=webcam&sr=1 'Hope that helps ..
