Sup guys

My gf is taking off overseas for a bit, and I was thinking of getting some Skype video-chat going on.

Sized up some Webcams at WoW Sight and sound, mostly the Microsoft range. All I really want is a built in mic, half-decent quality and easy to use. They had an alright one there for $79, which isnt too bad. I wouldnt want to pay much more cos i'll be buying two.

Anyway, anyone know any brands/features to avoid? Experience with the same product? Videos of you getting your cock out etc?

my friends sister is an msn cam whore, her camera is pretty decent & has lights built in for night time whoring. I can't imagine her paying too much for it I can snoop through her stuff on the weekend & grab the brand if you haven't bought one by then.

edit: sms'd my friend it's an MSI star cam. He didn't say how much

I got like the $70 Logitech QuickCam and its pretty decent. I often battle their retarded website trying to find drivers though; they're all up there but they just have a dumb system for finding them. Or I'm dumb and can't use the Internet, also possible.

Quality is good though, nice and simple.

Windows doesn't have built in drivers for it? My quick cam works with windows' built in things in MSN/windows media encoder.

Maxe> I recommend you buy the webcam I sell to Umart. (I know some might not like umart much, however I can warranty it direct for you if it fails) it's a 4mpix webcam and it's s***-hot! :D

has all the features you want, and won't cost you an arm and a leg.

email me cjmensforth at optusnet dot com dot au.

I'll give you a quality demo on MSN if you wish. (I won't be getting naked or anything... my pecker's not worth bragging about)

model is the speed s8800i webcam.

This one?
Looks alright for $55

I'd get one but noone would really want to see me.

Then again I could make a 'watch me scratch my balls' site that accepts paypal donations. I'd make TENS of dollars surely.

What's with that stand? Looks like it would shoot everything that moves.

it's a tripod that allows for easier angling the camera to where you want it pointing :)

it does however look like something out of a sci-fi movie, that's just about to f*** you up with giant frickin lasers. :P

they really are awesome quality. Someone else buy one and vouch for me! :D

It's for filming those hard to reach spots/angles

hmm Anyone played with the IP Cams ? ... I could setup a cam to point at my fish tank so I can see it from work or something.

There it was, Obes. The funniest thing you'll ever say, and only QGL was there to see it.
