Need Recommendation of Camera for Computer
I would like to get a camera I can attach to my laptop computer so I can use video phone calling and other things. I have one but it's meant to be stuck to one place. I'd like one I can clip on to the laptop and remove when not using it.

Hi! My name is A. and I purchased my camera for similar reasons as you. I got an inexpensive Philips PC camera. I got it at wal-mart for less than 10 dollars. it plugs into a usb and has a clip on the base. The base has a 'socket' joint so you can also rotate the camera in any direction. pretty neat for a cheapo. lol
hope this helps

Hi M.,
I recommend the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. It's great and gets really wonderful reviews - excellent video quality, built-in microphone, easy set up. It also clips on to the laptop and is easily removable when not in use. You can check it out on Amazon.com or research it online.
Hope that helps!
S.

We also have the Logitech quickcam pro 9000 and LOVE it. WE have tried many others and this has been the best by far. It clips to the top of the screen and easily detaches. We got ours from Staples. Good Luck!

My daughter purchased her webcam from Wal-Mart earlier this month. The only problem she seems to have with it is the program her friends use to chat has about a 5 second lag time built in to it. Wal-Mart has many different models of webcams in a range of prices.
