webcam recommendation

Can anyone recommend a webcam for a Windows PC mainly for Skype.

Does the amount of internet bandwidth that gets used depend on the
webcam? How much data would get used for a 5 minute conversation?

 

Anything will do if it new, at a store, in 2014. Web cams have been around
for ages. Some have microphones built in that can conflict, but if you
don't have a headset, then this is an advantage because now you have a
microphone when before you did not.

YES!

How much data would get used for a 5 minute conversation?HEAPS if you get a 1080 HD unit and have lots of upload speed. You can
reduce the quality of most cams, but what happens is you like the clear
picture and just use heaps of bandwidth anyways. Your internet upload
speed is a factor. The other end sending to you is another. Add them
together and you get your consumed bandwidth. In NZ on telstraclear for an
hour I used 10 Gigabytes one year. I am sure you can easily go higher with
better quality cameras at higher resolutions and frame rates. You are
making movies... And uploading them. Do you download movies? Double it
because it a two way conversation.

 

Thanks.
