Hi people! I just started skyping with some friends and I realized the inbuilt cam on my laptop makes it look like i use a potato to video chat. Then some said i look like im talking to them from a dark room

So i'm wondering is there any webcam in the market that provides good quality pictures? I did google some and logitech came up as one of the best but sigh i'm on a shoestring budget with rm150. So what do you think, is there any that you would recommend?

RM150 sounds about rite but don't expect HD camera. If HD u want check out lowyat.net forum Trade Zone for 2nd hand / pre-loved HD webcam maybe you might find something suitable for your budget.

What exactly is the difference with HD? Better lighting?

Higher resolution if you go full screen. But your gotta have Unifi for this kinda thing coz of the higher bandwidth usage.

Oh ok..just checked out lazada and there are too many choices...

With your budget...can get a Logitech HD Webcam C525

er...you sure you didnt do anything to the settings?
normal camera on the laptop should be sufficient for skype

Maybe stock webcam not up to standard. That's why there's 3rd party webcam with better quality and features.

In the last 5 years, digital cameras have improved by leaps and bounds. But webcams seems to be stuck in the condition they were in 10 years ago.

What's worse, some of the digital cameras from a few years earlier could work as webcams. Those made very high resolution, awesome webcams. Sadly, these days, digital cameras no longer come with drivers to function as webcams.
