Hi,

I am thinking about getting a webcam, but I am not sure which one to get. I have searched all over the web, and there aren't really that many good reviews about webcams. I thought about putting this thread in the off-topic forum because I assume that a lot of you have webcams, and could help me decide.

The webcams I am trying to decide are:
Logitech QuickCam Pro 3000 --- I have heard that the camera is lighter than the cable, thus it tips over a lot. Not very good in poor light
Logitech ClickSmart 310 ---- I like the fact that you can use it as a digital camera, but I am not sure about its quality.
Creative Labs PC 300 ---- I heard good reviews about it, and I like that you can use it as a digital caera, but I am not sure about its quality.

Please help me!!!!
Thanks for the input
:)

I use the Intel Something Pro, got it off ebay for 16 shipped. Does it's job ;) Either way, just make sure you look for reputable reviews, since most customers don't know enough about using webcams to make a statement on quality.

the logitech is probably the easiest to use.

There are a lot more webcams than the 3 you listed...

I've got a Logitech QuickCam USB Deluxe that I bought way back at the end of 1999. Still works beautifully- never any problems. I recommend Logitech and Intel.
