Cingular Go Phone: Veo Stingray - Web camera - color

I bought this camera because it was the cheapest thing available and I only planned on using it one night to video conference with my family on Christmas Eve.For what I paid for this, I am very impressed.This camera does as well as any camera double it's price.There are 4 quality settings on the camera's software.The highest setting is very clear but also very choppy.I do not recommend it.The second setting also pretty clear and the video is pretty smooth.This is my preferred setting for video emails and for video chatting if you are both using high speed connections.The third setting is very smooth and a little blurry.This is ideal for video chatting if either user has a dial up internet connection.The final setting has perfectly smooth motion but is very blurry.I do not recommend this unless you are having a hard time video conferencing due to bad connections.All in all, it's more than worth the money though.I am active duty military and live 1500 miles away from home.After I got this I bought 3 more for relatives so that we could video conference together.It is just like being there.The Veo software uses Microsoft Netmeeting for video conferencing, but I personally recommend the MSN Instant Messanger.This had the best quality with the least amount of delay.Besides video conferencing though, you can send video email, take personal videos, or take snapshots to save or email.If you are looking for great quality, spend the extra money and get one of the Intel models, but if you just wanna spend a few bucks for a decent web-cam, get this.WORD OF WARNING...This camera requires a lot of light to operate efficiently.A single desk lamp with a 120V bulb is not enough for good quality.Mine only really looks good when my 2 main lights in the room are on.This, also, is something that may make you want to spend the money on a better model by Intel.
