    This sony one is damn good!

    Sony original 370,000-pixel CMOS VGA (640x480) sensor and picture control technology for high quality images

    Sounds good! Any better ones around?

    mark - it's quite amazing how you managed to have a conversation with yourself for like 2 and a half hours.

    just thought i would tell you.

    anyway, with the sony one, wouldn't it be a bit weird - i mean the clip looks like it's been designed only for laptops.

    I have two laptops!

    Conversations with yourself can be the most rewarding

    Well, as long as they are just conversations, and nothing more...

    Thanks... erm do you mean the camera... yeah, I've had one for several years in fact its only just packed up, the audio still works though, and one of its great features is a brilliant microphone.

    I haven't seen many cams that beat its quality generally, although there must be some, but few have the panning motorised movement facility, apart from IP cams, like the Linksys one, which I have too. That doesnt do face tracking though.

    Most of the later Quickcam range are static mounts for laptops these days, it seems there aren't many motorised cams around, but do let me know if you know of any other current high end alternatives WannaBe_80z !

    I meant the thread you responded too was 5 years old.

    I'm not that hard to imitate. Just make some random negative claim at Apple or anything else for that matter and then have nothing to back it up.

    The post even started with a 'Hola!'

    I imagine MarkP to return in a blazing fireball with dry ice with this music.

    Me too, and I thought, what an anti-climatic comeback.
