Skype Camera for Monitors

[Ray Alvarez]

Hi Everyone,

I am interesrted in buying a camera for my computer so that I can Sykpe instead of teleconferencing.  I don't want to get a new monitor with a camera because I have a very expensive monitor due to the fact that I also do our marketing materials which includes creating TIFFs, EPS, etc in PhotoShop.  Any recommendations for camera purchases?

Almost anything nowadays works...getting a camera in the slightly higher range will yield better and less-grainy results. I actually go to to Gamestop and buy old Playstation cameras for $2 a pop, then use them as they were originally $75 Logitects (but thats because I'm a tinkerer).
