I didn't need a good quality webcam at a high price so stayed on budget and bought this D-link webcam. It works great for what I need. I plug it in, it installs the drivers with a few clicks of the Next button and you're done. Now I can have netmeeting chats with other people with video and I can finally show my friends how I look now without an expensive plane trip, digital camera or scanner. Recommended for people in my situation.
