Buying a web cam... suggestions? - dj forums

maxboostedsupra · 03-13-10, 06:07 PM

I want to buy a web cam to broadcast on stickcam. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to get. I called around to a few places (best buy, meijer, walmart) and meijer and walmart have some around $30-40 range but he said it wasn't "screen quality". I want to get one with a good video quality but wanna keep lower. Any suggestions on what to get. Thanks

You do know that most cameras and video cameras that are new can be used as a web cam right? just saying if you have one check and see if its supported to do so

I didnt know that. I have a video camera from around 2004, not sure on the model but ill check it out. You just get a firewire to the camera or something? I just started looking at web cams and the whole broadcasting thing the past 2 days so dont have that much knowledge on it. Any more info would be grateful.

I got a bomb-ass video cam.
Logitec C600 is the name.

Best cam i've seen hands down.Not expensive too.

Nice thanks for the input! I just ordered a 4 pin firewire cable and that should work.
