    Long story short, my wife has a MBP-15 & video chatting on gmail is light years ahead in terms of PQ compared to both my Vaio's (Z1390X & SA290X). Is this normal? or am I doing something wrong? All I've on my laptop is a freshly loaded OS and all drivers installed.

    Did you check both cameras in the same lighting conditions? They should perform better when it's brighter. Still, I think the resolution of the VPCZ1's webcam is only 640x480 which isn't really that good.
