yes…it depends on the camera’s H/W capabilities.

That microsoft software is not utilizing the full potential of the cam. :frowning: it takes snaps at 320x240 resolution and resizes it. And the quality suffers badly. :frowning: The software that came with the cam takes good pics at higher resolutions but it does not allow timed snapshots. :frowning:

Also, if i want to buy a new webcam from a better comapny, which one will u suggest? i want to take atleast 800x600 resolution pics or higher with it and atleast 640x480 resolution video recording at 30 fps. which one shoudl i buy? :slight_smile:
