Web Cam for ~$50?

[Apothikary]

Hey guys, looking to get a web-cam so I can join in on the video-related antics and whatnot... Was looking at this in particular.

Any recommendations on what else I might look for?

Well, Logitech sells a couple in the $20 - $30 range, but they're all very low resolution.
If you want a high res one, the Microsoft one or this one: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/webcams/hd-webcam-c310 would be good.

Is that the life cam one? I bought one for my sisters for Christmas a couple of years ago, I think theirs was red... but we video chat a lot and it works great.

Also something to consider: the tinychat video is pretty poor resolution if you're buying it namely for that kinda thing, you can get by with a potato pretty much.. If you're looking for high-res, I've always been a fan of the logitech cams, and love the c920 that I bought for Skype with the family. The one Hairo linked is 720p, and should be plenty good enough for video with guildies.

I'd suggest the Logitech C310 too, though I suggest you get a refurbished one as they're a lot cheaper and still work great (usually half price at newegg).

Here's a good deal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AT0AT5650 only 23$
Though I recommend you get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104650 35$ for 1080p.
