    Remember you also get 5% cashback via Quidco if you decide to get the item delivered but Woolworths charge £4.95 delivery but now apparantly you cn order your goods online and collect them at the store but unsure if the Quidco money will track properly if done this way

    I'd be interested to see what this is like. In my experience you've got to fork out
    at least £40 for a half decent one with some good features.

    I agree, something like this!

    Hi, we bought this webcam weeks ago and it is rubbish, save your money! i am giving mine to my son as he is not bothered.it has a poor picture and does not cope with any dark room at all. very small pixels so not worth the trip to woolies.

    Tihs is the one we went for from Amazon and it's superb.

    £5 might be a good price, but like any poor product- it's £5 down the drain if it's rubbish.
  • Thanks, i dont need a good Quailty webcam, so this should do for me :D

    But even the "good quality" ones aren't stunning. The poor ones are really poor and when people can barely see you there's surely little point.
