Help with webcam

jase_uk_2

My missus is going to visit her mum for a few days and she thought it would be nice if we could talk via webcam, i have looked on various sites for one but am totally confused with it all, i wondered if any of you kind people could help me out and tell me which would be a good one. Im looking at spending around £20 (a bit more if its worth it) and preferbly with sound. The room where my pc sits is a little on the dark side, i dont know if this makes much difference.

This one will do quite nicely but it is over your £20 whatever you get just make sure its over 30fps thats 30 frames per second or the picture will look all choppy and this one comes with a mic aswell, oh and if you dont have a good connection with any webcam the picture will be choppy anyway.

That's now showing as out of stock. I have seen a PS2 Eyetoy game which included the eyetoy which can be used as a webcam but I don't know if the quality would be good enough as I've only mucked about with using mine as a webcam.

I'll see if I can find it anyway...watch this space.
