HP's Elite Webcam

I have a 2MP webcam that I hardly ever use, but seeing as how I always want the newest and best, I may take a closer look at HP's new webcam. I normally stick with Logitech. I haven't had any problems, and their webcams are great. My current Logitech webcam is the Logitech Pro 9000 and features high resolution videos and pictures, face tracking, and the usual webcam features.

It come as no surprise that the 3MP Elite is equipped with the same features, but with a nice upgrade. Compatible with all the major PC-based, video chat solutions out there such as Yahoo, Skype, MS Messenger, and AIM, the USB 2.0 cam clips onto your monitor and features a 3 megapixel camera capable of shooting video ranging from 640 x 480 pixels at 30fps quality on down to 1,600 x 1,200 at 5fps. It also brings a built-in stereo microphone, face tracking and Magic-i video effects software, and 3 programmable buttons.

And there won't be any hidden camera videos if the person knows that this cameras also features a sliding "privacy cover" so one can ensure they are not going to be on air. Great idea HP! Want to know more? Take a looksee right here.
