Best Webcam to buy?

Hi I am going to buy a Webcam, and after seeing quite a few people on them there seems to be a wide range of quality, sone seem to break up if people move! What should I be looking for? I would like a reasonably priced one that has a good quality picture, I am not very technical so do I look for pixels or something?

I`d recommend one of the Logitech webcams. Look for one with at least 1.3 mega pixels for image quality.

Regards Howard.

Thanks for that, I have had a look and there's some reasonably priced 1.3mp cams about, cheers.

you should also be looking at fps rates. 30 is average, im not sure at what point it gets stuttery though

frames per second, it will state it on the box of the camera, i wouldn't go below 30
