What is the Best Webcam?
Hi, I want to be able to take the highest quality video possible and store it to my HD. I bought a logitec webcam for 60$ about 2 yrs ago and I think there must be better ones by now. I was hoping to see an expensive fire-wire version but they don't seen to exist.

What is the best webcam to take the highest quality video possible?

Welcome to Dev Shed.

Next time, try Googling "Webcam Reviews" first.

I need high quality
I did, I have read hours of webcam reviews....

I am not satisfied with my current 640x480 camera, it just feels wrong to buy ANOTHER 640x480 camera...However if the immage quality is much better that would be worth it.

I have found a few firewire cams, not sure if they are worth it.

PS thanks for NOT helping me....

If you want to be taking high quality video, then I would recommend NOT to use a webcam.
