    I was just wondering what a good webcam would be for my laptop. I have a Toshiba special edition. My budget is about 50 bucks, but if i can get one that is for a better price than plz let me know. Thank you.

    I use one from Creative that hangs on top of the LCD. It was $70 or so back then (a year ago). I'm sure there are better deals now though.

    I use a webcam by Veo. It's only VGA (640x480), but it's small and uses USB. The camera has a bracket so it can clip on the edge of an LCD panel and comes with a cool carrying case to protect it. If I'm not mistaken, I did pay around $50 for it as I was looking for something inexpensive to travel with.
