I don't have a webcam for my desktop so I'm looking for recommendations. I'm eying this one.

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Portable-1080p-Webcam-Autofocus/dp/B004YW7WCY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1385992396&sr=8-4&keywords=webcam

Can anyone recommend it or a better one at a comparable price?

Note: I'll need it to be able to clip on to a flat screen monitor.

I've been using this one for a few months now, no complaints. I'd definitely recommend it, especially at that sale price.

Fantastic price for that hardware, but Logitech's non-gaming drivers are a bit bloated, so keep that in mind.

This is the webcam I used before I got a really over-the-top one:

I'd highly recommend. I can post a vod of it in use when I get home.

Just out of curiousity, what do people use webcams for? I don't think I would ever really use one.

PlatypusJust out of curiousity, what do people use webcams for? I don't think I would ever really use one.

I have a lot of internet friends I skype with, and I stream. Also it doesn't cost too much more than a standalone mic, so people often just get the webcam.

I said I'd post a video of the C525, here's me on stream with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhC_krJW7wM#t=446 It looks pretty nice with good lighting, and the mic's not all the bad either. I think it records in 720p.

That's pretty much why I'm planning on getting one. The mic I have is really shitty and I'd rather have one that's just fixed in one place rather than rubber banded to my earphones (don't ask). Thanks for the input.

The mic on it isn't really very good, but would be easier than a rubber banded one prolly

I make videos like this one but they look terrible if I use terrible webcams.
