Anyone have recommendations for a webcam? I have an old logitech quickcam express I had gotten as a freebie at a trade show over 10 years ago, but it doesn't seem to work with with new OS. I started to look on amazon, but I thought I would check here first for suggestions.
If you're on Windows, the Logitech C920 is good:
. It has some features that won't work on a Mac, so for the Mac the C615 is probably better:
(or the C910 if you can find one for a reasonable price. It's been discontinued). The C615 is fine for PCs too, and it's a little cheaper.
One thing to look at is the way the webcam mounts. Some will work better than others depending on where you want to put it. Most are designed to sit on a flat surface or attach to the top of your computer screen. Microsoft makes one that also has a standard tripod socket, which gives you a lot more placement options since you can use any kind of tripod you want:
In reality it's hard to go wrong these days. Most webcams are much better quality than what you can stream live over the Internet.
