Topic: Webcam vs. Digital Still-image Camera

Which is better? A web cam (like the Quick Cam 9000) or a Digital Still-image (like the powershot)?:/

Re: Webcam vs. Digital Still-image Camera

Quality-wise, digital cameras outdo webcams, period. Most digital cameras require a bit more work in order for them to be used directly through software, but usually the extra effort is worth it. Especially if you already own the digital camera.

Hm.
If you think about to buy a cam, but don´t have enough money, so go and buy the new Logitech C910.
It got a 5MP picture-size, a quite cool picture-colour, manual fokus, zoom...
And - its a lot easyer to handle with as a digicam.

I own the Canon A520, and I shoot until yet my clips with it. I used the CSMC to capture the pics.
But to focuss and all other stuff is much harder than with a webcam like the C910
Ok, the Digicam got a bit better Picture-Quality as the C910, but the easyer way to handle with was enough buy a C910

Here you can watch some pictures captured with the C910

And, at least, the C910 is much cheaper than a Digicam!
