WebCam test. Did i get a good deal?

Post » Mon Aug 23, 2010 10:53 pm

So after getting my webcam i made a video real quick to see how good the quality was. it seems to be fair, for the 20 dollars i paid.

don't mind the dog rope thing.

I actually switched to this camera because i had a linux OS called Ubuntu as a host for a long time, and it wouldn't use an older webcam. Forgive my ignorance, but are webcams getting better? i think the one improvement on mine is how flexible it is and the LED lights.

No I'm just baffled as to why you decided to take a video of getting yourself hit by a rope.

Camera quality seems Ok-ish. You got 20 dollars worth I think.

i am not very good at fitting in some times. btw, what is the point of the focus piece on the cam? why not always have it turned to the sharpest?

I'm with tesfanner here...that is both weird and disturbing. What's wrong with doing something that isn't violent?

focus doesn't mean sharpest and dullest quality, focus is to adjust the focal lens to the distance of the intended subject, like when you move a magnifying glass closer and farther away from something

That's not even worth $20. I'd take it back. The quality was beyond horrid.

I think you've gotten all the feedback you are going to get, and a bit of spam on the side, so I'll just lock this before it goes further down the road to Spamsville.
