Whats a better webcam?!

[Tazman2]

Bought a "QuickCam® Communicate STX™" for using it on Skype kind of last minute. Apparently its not so great. Has some noise cancellations issues when I have my a/c on, etc. Also turns down my sound accel when its plugged in, etc. Soooooo whats a better camera? Not looking to spend big money but don't mind spending some money. Thanks!

If it has a built in mic and its a USB Webcam (they all are) then it WILL bypass your sound card. If the AC is blowing on your mic and cam, then there's not much to do but stick some spongy foam on it or something.

It wasn't blowing directly on it at all so thats why it was weird. It didn't do it the time before but yet it did more recently. I dunno. I don't like this webcam!

Logitech Fuzion series is okay, as are the higher end Microsoft offerings. You're going to spend ~$70-100 for something that's a definite step up from the STX

I have a VX-6000 and I am really happy with it, and i use it quite a bit, I live in Miami, Fl and my parents and sister live in Jacksonville, Fl. I get great sound and the picture is great. I picked it up on sale a few months ago for like $50.00
