    How does the HP's built in camera stack to the competition? Any reccomendations on any specific brand that has a superb camera quality? I'm looking to breif vid-docs of myself on them and i'd like decent visuals.

    The built-in web cam on my HP is 1.3 Megapixel, but I actually don't think it's very good. The image is way too dark.

    These are webcams, none of them will beat a standalone digital camera in still picture quality.

    Well that is of course given.

    So they have improved the camera from the 6000t to the 6500t?

    Here is a sample of the webcam on a dv6000t, from the review over at laptoplogic

    That's what I've heard. Apparently the new cams on the dvx5xx series are an improvement over previous versions.
