    Hey guys, apologies if this is in the wrong place, have never posted in this forum before.

    So I'm looking to buy a webcam in Argos today as it is the handiest and I need one quickly so haven't time to shop around.

    I have narrowed it down to the Creative Live! Cam Chat HD and Logitech C270 HD Webcam which are both the same price.

    I want it for webchatting primarily so which would be the better one in terms of quality, lighting and is easy to set up?

    unless you have a dual core processor and a high speed/large bandwitdh connection, don't bother with the HD cameras. They've no hardware encoding, therefore it's all done on the PC, and the hi-def picture will need a faster line. I have one of these and it does the job perfect, and a 1 hr video chat can use over 400-500 MB. but if you have enough pc power, go for it. I'd check online reviews before deciding though. They're all easy to set up,
