Blurry Blurry Blurry Blurry Motion

The IBM PC Camera is one of those cameras that gives web cameras and video conferencing a bad rap. It hardly qualifies as a "video" web cam because the video produced by this camera is similar to setting a camcorder to 1/8 second shutter speed, which...

Don't EVER buy one of these.

 

Don't EVER buy one of these.

This is possibly the worst "webcam" that has ever existed on this planet. For starters, unless you are using the camera in bright (and I mean solar-flare bright) light, you probably won't even get a recognizable image. Most of the time what you will...

You get what you pay for....

This isn't any worldbeater, but if you just want to take some vain pictures of yourself and send the odd v-mail -- which is all I do -- this camera should be adequate. If you're looking for a video conferencing beastie, look elsewhere. The model I have...
