Webcams are a popular side of the digital camera business. They are inexpensive, and can be used to immediately send photos or video to friends or the world. Webcams allow busy mobile professionals to video conference in the office or on the go, and give families a chance to have video conversations with relatives who live far away. You can participate in video chats, or create video podcasts. Here is a list of the top digital Webcams.
1. Logitech QuickCam Orbit AF Webcam
Wolf Camera
There are some major coolness factors to this webcam that make it stand out from the crowd of popular webcams. This high-end webcam will actually follow you automatically with a motorized auto-tracking mechanism. It features pan, tilt and autofocus. It produces high quality images considering it's a webcam, and you also get some fun video effects. For example, you can use avatars and face accessories to mirror facial expressions and motions.
2. Creative Labs Webcam Live!
Wolf Camera
This Webcam, with a sleek and fun design, is the ideal choice for video conferencing. For one thing, it features an extra wide angle lens to capture a broad image for pictures or video. But it also has a directional array microphone to better capture audio. Video is captured at 1.3 megapixels at 15 frames per second, and pictures are captured at 5 megapixels.
3. MacAlly Portable USB Video Webcam
The great thing about this Webcam is it works for both Macs and PCs. It's also lightweight and portable, and designed for people on the go. It works with Yahoo Messenger and iChatAV, and features a flexible cable for adjusting the camera position. It shoots both video and still shots.
4. Logitech QuickCam Communicate Deluxe Webcam
Wolf Camera
If the Orbit above is outside your price range, you can still get many key features (such as the video effects). This webcam also alerts you when you're live on the webcam, and it can be used on a flat surface, a monitor, or a flat panel display.
