Blue Microphones Eyeball Webcam
The Eyeball Webcam is a cool-looking piece of gear for people who use VoIP or video chat services on-the-go, but there are better choices for the home.

Ipevo PoV Web Camera
Middling performance and oddly lacking software overshadow the Ipevo PoV Web Camera's excellent macro mode. Don't buy it unless you need a Webcam for the express purpose of recording close-up still shots or up-close-and-personal video chats.

Creative Live Cam Optia AF
If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.

Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks
The Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks provides unmatched image quality, but its design could be improved. While the clear, bright video output will amaze, the constant readjusting of the camera atop your laptop will annoy.

Microsoft Xbox Live Vision Camera (Xbox 360)
Microsoft's answer to Sony's EyeToy camera, the affordable Xbox Live Vision Camera for Xbox 360 may not yet be a must-have Xbox 360 accessory, but we suspect that as Microsoft upgrades Xbox Live to include more Vision features, it will be.
