I would love to know. I have a creative webcam plus and it also uses cmos. The picture quality could be better and it also has an artifact which appeared on my cam and at least one other persons. So beware that model your looking at could have the same issues.(re the creative labs one) I see the other uses cmos as well. There are other cameras like thease afik that do support ccd and they may provide a better picture. With corrective measures taken to deal with the artifact et al this is what a pic from my cam looks like(this was under a varient of the xawtv webcam app and I've now switched to came and yes thats me in the pic): http://members.shaw.ca/arienadean/current-pic.jpg -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught." - Oscar Wilde -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
