Question Advice Please: What webcam?

Wife wants one, purely for occassional Skype use

Nothing fancy, I was thinking of Logitech, but for no reason other than I know the name)

Any suggestions? Around £20 less I guess.

We have a laptop and I was thinking of the Quickcam;

Logitech QuickCam for Laptops: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Good enough?

I wouldn't expect a serious answer in here with wife and webcam mentioned .

I've always thought logitech are decent enough .

I think we need pics of your wife to best judge which product would give the best results.

Best thing to do is go and shop around, go into PC world and stand there reading the individual makes of camera, you want the one with the highest frame rate and megapixel count you can afford otherwise you will get a crap picture with pixelation everytime you move. There is nothing worse than watching a webcam that has low resolution and frame rate, they are usually to dark and the pixelation is terrible, everytime the person moves it all goes **** up as it can not refresh fast enough.

If you are going to get one you may aswell get a decent one.
