    Can anyone recommend a good and cheap webcam? I'm moving away and need a good one to hook up to a dv8000. I guess the proliferation of internal cams has made these almost extinct.

    Thanks in advance.

    no. they're still around. 50 bucks will still you a decent one. if you spend more you can get better ones like x2p said. there's even better, but they're hard to find in stores, and usually priced like 200-700 dollars and more.

    It doesn't have to be pristine. I'm just looking for something the equivalent to my internal. And cheap. Intergrated mic is not a necessity either.
