I've been using a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 for the last 7 years. I get a pretty good picture but it's starting to fall apart so just bought a newer model: the Logitech QuickCam S 5500.
The old cam only did VGA video chatting, but the new one boasts 1.3mp video and 4mp stills.
But I've just logged into yahoo msnger, ISPQ and skype, and in each program my video chat is WORSE!
My skin looks ultra pink, the clarity isn't as good (in the old cam you could pick out my 5 o'clock shadow, the new one is slightly fuzzy/ultra coloured and you can't).
The image just isn't as sharp. And It also doesn't seem to be sized correctly. I'm more zoomed out, and slightly elongated.
I've played with the settings and the only thing I could do to make it better, is in the logitech software, if you are taking a photo of yourself you can select "1.3megapixel quality". Once I choose that, the image is great.
But programs like skype don't let you change things to that degree...
HELP
