Which web cam for MSN?

Hi, my brother is living in China for a year and my family would like to get a web cam and talk to him online. Are the microphones on web cams good enough so that we could talk to him as a group, or would we have to pass a microphone or headset around between us? can anyone recommended a good webcam for this? Thanks.

  • i think the logitech ones are more than sufficient, although a headset/mic thing is much more convenient.

    You can probably look out for bundle deals as well, sometimes it's worth it. You could go to Ebuyer and such and look through their peripherals/ web cam section for reviews as well.
  • personally I like my one:

    but you may find you have to shout a bit if you're relying just on the built in mic on pretty much any webcam.

    Looks even less like ET's head unless ET means Enormous T*tties.

    I think a second photo of your messy room is need to explain this ET phenomena
