Between the two webcams from Logitech, which one do you recommend and why(as
far as video/image quality/frame rate wtih MSN Messenger or Yahoo! Messenger
is concerned)?

Thanks in advance,
James

I have a Quickcam 4000 Pro and agree with all the comments. I have yet to
find a way, however, to superimpose text on the picture using Logitech
software.

Sounds like the 4000 Pro is the better one?

about 22kb
2- Midnight pictures acquired in psp program from exact spot best I
could. 4000 looks to have a tad wider lens.
Orbit on the left - 4000 on the right
Full Automatic ... single 9watt straight fluorescent tube / enclosed under
eave for light.
Looks like Orbit does slightly lower light, moved them around on the
patio looking at diff light levels - on the orbit grain starts to show as
light levels dropdown low.
`Yea,,, I booted & rebooted laptop because I thought something was odd with
color too.

They both look awful close when not side by side here in the house to my
eyeballs.

might have to back off the pic file name and just go to the directory,
not sure about fortune city mythology lately ,,, just a quick upload page
various snap shots - I think.

You know actually my problem with my Quickcam is getting it to talk
to my ftp server correctly. So far I haven't had any problems with
the pictures themselves - just getting my ftp server and my Quickcam
software to work with one another. So far I'm halfway there....
