Any recommendations? I need one so I can talk to my ladyfriend on skype over xmas.

Yes, just talk; no dirty jokes Nineblade, thank you. Wink

I don't need anything particularly shiny, I've spent enough money on her as it is. As long as it works, has a microphone and the picture quality is reasonable I'm happy.

This one has excellent picture quality, but no mic (I don't remember if there is one delivered with it):

I actually have it and some other webcams lying around here unsused since my project during my trainee time. Not sure if sending them would be cheaper than buying one, but I'll gladly send you one if you want?

EDIT: Huge pic, how do I make it smaller?

Ok, well Uni holidays do last over a month and I don't want to completely rule it out. Merely figured on this forum I couldn't ask about webcams without comments on that subject and so put in a qualifier. Wink

Appreciate the offer, would definitely take you up on it if you were in the UK, but I can see post from Germany being quite steep. Smiley

To resize images you can use <img src="..."></img> tags rather than bbcode and put in height and width attributes.

If you have a digital camera, check out if it can be used as a webcam. Than all you'd need to do is create something to put it on.

As a side note, he only disallowed Nineblade to do dirty jokes!

Just make sure both the attributes are scaled down by the same %
Otherwise it'll distort

I have a logitech quick cam pro which has awsome image quality and a mic. But the mic, as with most webcams is weak at best. Your best bet would be to buy a cheap desktop mic or a clip on. you could even use your headset you use for gaming? those things have mics right?

The sixth review down says it works with Skype. Another coment remarks that the microphone works well enough.

Happy shopping fella Smiley

also as an aside i saw the page loading and my heart jumped as i thought you had a 5D but then promptly sank back down after i saw it was a 50D instead. You photographers are all living in the past dude.

You will find your camera wont run at full res when in webcam mode (if it has one).

Webcam mode is specifically designed to be streamed so you will find max resolution for it will be 640x480...
