Any real answer on a webcam yet?

The problem with no-name cameras is that they often have both poor sensors and poor optics. The cheap sensors in no-name cameras result in poor handling of low light and side-lighting conditions.  This can lead to poor tracking.

Logitech cameras are usually a good bet.  I suggest you look at C930e or C920/C922/C925e.  Any of those should work well.

I would agree. I doubt the camera quality matters *that* much. It just has to pick up your eye positions, mouth position, head etc. As long as it can detect that, job done. You don't see the video afterwards. Lighting might be more important than the camera. If there is not enough contrast etc in the footage, then it will have troubles.

Hi Vincent. I have been a videographer for 20+ years and I can say that the subject and message are more important than the quality of the camera. I use a $40 web cam for my CH work and it is fine. A $20 would probably look just as good if I could have found one.If you plan to use the web cam as the video source then I would say a $40 cam would be adequate if it is FHD resolution (1920x1080). I have made great videos using my cell phone. I have used $4,000 cameras and when all is said and done it looks great. However, I would want to show it on the big screen. I hope this helps.
