Advantages: good price, does everything you need it to do good sound and picture quality

Disadvantages: nothing

When i had my old laptop, i didn't have the convenience of a webcam built into the computer, and as i had recently started uni at this point, i discovered Skype, which seemed perfect to keep in touch with all my friends and family.....so for Skype, i needed a webcam. This webcam can be picked up anywhere between around £8 and £20 depending on where you look to buy it, this was of course perfect for me as i didn't have a lot of money to spend on such things being a student and such.

So i ordered it online and a few weeks later it came, it was in a small box, i opened it and had a look, and it seemed extremely easy to set up, took me almost no time at all, when i first started using it the quality didn't seem that great, but if you just play around with the brightness, contrast and colour levels a bit you will end up with clear bright video images, perfect for skype! It will clip on to the screen of your computer with no fuss, and has a built in microphone so you dont have to worry about trying to find one of those. The sound quality is very good, and clear, this is everything you want in a webcam for just under £10, i cant understand why people spend so much money on these when one like this is just perfect.

The quality of this camera is a lot more than you would expect from a product that cost so little, i have not a bad word to say about it. Complete with a snapshot button for taking photos, and all the cables needed in the box, this webcam is simple but faultless and perfect. A cheap, easy to use webcam which performs all the functions you could possibly need to a good standard. I actually still have this webcam despite having a camera built into my current laptop, and its still in full working order, ive had it for around 2 years.

Summary: the perfect webcam
