QuickCam Ultra Vision webcam
© 2006 Logitech, Inc.
Designed to capture both still images (up to 4 MP in size) or streaming web video with sound, Logitech's $130 QuickCam features a larger glass lens, designed to capture more light. There's also an integrated microphone for use with phone services. Included software allows the ability to edit digital images (e.g., you can put a crown on yourself if you're feeling like royalty). The lens features 78 degrees of visibility so a group can get into the same photo.
$130, Windows XP
