Best webcam with mic

Hey, what's the best webcam with mic out there?

My laptop didn't come with one and I am looking to buy one that isn't too expensive and over-priced. When I look around I see alot of references to Genius Eye 110, but that is only 1.3MP and it doesn't have a mic.

honestly any mic that built in to a monitor or laptop or webcam... pick up way too much noise, an u better off gettin a external mic or headset if u plannin (if u using it for skype etc)... u'll be amazed at the quality difference. and webcams, IF u looking at one for calling (skype etc)... 1.3 more than enough, cuz it doh transmit nowhere near the full potential of the 1.3's out there.....

daz jus my 2c, hope it helped.

Which brand/model to look at? the Genius 110 good then? What about for the headphones? Wired or bluetooth better?

i cant say for the webcam. my laptop has a 1.3mp built in. once u buy a good brand it doesnt have to be a great model. the problems are more related to driver compatibilty etc. and u know if u buy a known brand, u'd get the suport u need. i bought a logitech quick cam chat i think for like 30cdn$ and it works just as good as the logitechs for 100cdn.

the mic i also have built in, but the sound on the other end is balls, so i dont use it.
headphones, what ever u find most comfortable. again logitech is a good way to go. (..basically anything from them)

Get the MSI Web Cam with night vision/ Infared. I got it for $100 at Marabella.
350i is the model I have.

Only problem was I had to download an updated software for it, the cd installation was not compatible with my PC.

The infra-red in that MSI camera does actually work good? I see it selling for $150. IR is kinda cool for a webcam, I could see how much heating my laptop giving off. :lol:

-Roach-, where you get the 370i? I see seeing the 350i in k-tech for $150.

I myself have a MSI 370i. Works very well in the night. The mic built in is very sensitive as well. Have it at 1/3 volume and still can hear throughout the house through msn. :oops:

Good buy!
