Philips SPC1300NC Webcam
Blog I recently purchased a Philips SPC1300NC webcam, and I don't think that I could be any more pleased with it. Unlike the "clip" style that is found on the Logitech notebook webcam series, this clamp works easily, and is very stable, even with very...

More Pleasant Surprises with Ubuntu
Blog I plugged in my Philips SPC1300NC webcam, and although it is recognized and identified correctly, it doesn't seem to work. It will be interesting to see how it handles the Core2 Duo CPU, the Intel Wireless-N networking, and the built-in Logitech...

Great New ooVoo Release!
Blog You can now have 640x480 resolution, if your webcam is capable of that. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the built-in webcam in my Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 will do this resolution, and it looks very nice.

Fujitsu Lifebook S6510 - Wrap-Up
Blog Of course, if you are concerned with video quality you're going to want to use an external webcam anyway; the built-in webcam is nothing more than "adequate", and my Philips SPC900NC runs rings around it both in picture quality and low-light...

ooVoo - The Next Candidate
Blog That means they don't try to dictate camera manufacturers or capabilities to you; if you have a crummy webcam, you'll get a crummy picture, but at least you'll get something. If you have a really good webcam, well, you'll get a decent picture, but...
