Decent Web cam?

[GregoriusM]

Hey!

I'm looking for a DECENT (read: good but low priced) web cam for my laptop (used as my desktop 'puter).

Any recommendations would be great!

I am on broadband ADSL.

Also, what is the best way to talk to/ see someone about 100 miles away when it comes to software? MSN, Netmeeting? ????

Thanks people.

NOTE: Low cost / great product (as usual!) Also, if it fits on the top of a laptop, that would be good, or does that limit my functionality?

:later:

It will be interesting to see what people post.

I researched this a couple months ago and found nothing but a raft of complaints on the Logitech forum. Some threads were started years ago and there was still no resolution to the problems posted. Creative Labs forum seemed to have somewhat fewer complaints.

Most digital camera's have a usb webcam function as far as I know. That's likely the route I'd go if you can as you'll also have a decent cam to use as well as arguably a better quality webcam.

I should add that the problems people were posting on the Logitech and Creative Labs forums were primarily software related. Driver problems or conflicts with XP.
