can you recommend a webcam ?

Hi, I am looking at adding a webcam to my laptop, but, have no idea of what specification etc I should be looking for. I want to send and recieve good quality video and sound, but, don't want to spend a fortune. I'm sure there must be a good compromise available.

Laptop is a pentium 4 - 2.8ghz with plenty of ram.

Any suggestions ? I'd be happier buying a webcam that has been recommended by an actual user rather than some sales guy in PC World.

You might well find your laptop has a built-in microphone already (I was surprised too by how good they are when I tried using my wifes to chat on MSN).

You might find a camera is all you need, having said that its been ages since I last used one and the technology must have moved on.

Logitech have always been a respected make and might be worth checking out.

Also many small digital cameras can be used as webcams as well so its something to consider.
