Spec me a webcam

Scougar · 17 Sep 2010 at 12:30

So I have a Creative Webcam that they refuse to write drivers for W7. Vista drivers (Can't remember may only be XP drivers) don't work so stuck with having to buy another one.

Need a cheap but hopefully reasonable quality picture webcam please.

Any recommendations, hopefully under £30.

Note: I'm annoyed that I have to buy another webcam, and that they won't support there product as let's be honest all webcam's are essentially the same, and drivers would probably be a case of altering the device Id in most cases. I understand them not wanting to do any more work and sell more camera's but for such a simplistic product they really should have better support.

This is what I am looking at. I am in the same position with a creative webcam which does not work except on my windows XP laptop.

Creative are generally poor with updating drivers.

I don't use webcam's that often so I'm not keen to fork out loads, just to have to dig out more when they fail to support it. I shouldn't really grumble, it's just annoying for such a simple device.

Thanks for the link.

Picked up a cheap vx-5000 as i needed a camera for tonight. Not expecting miracles for £25 but hopefully has good low light performance.
