Webcam Quality Test Shootout

Indoor - Good Light

The webcams were attached to an Asus Z9000 laptop . Two banks of overhead flourescent lighting gave the ambient lighting. Some extra light came from the laptop screen and a 17 inch LCD screen.

All webcams were on default settings. The webcams were manually focused (except for the Orbit, which has auto focus) on a stuffed koala. The factory lens for the Watchport/V was used.

Clicking on the thumbnails will give you the full quality picture. The stills were taken with the included webcam software from each manufacturer. They were saved as JPGs in highest quality.
