CompUSA.com has the Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 for $21 with free shipping using code SHIPITFREE. It supports up to 640 x 480 pixel resolution, at a nice speed of 30 frames per second. [BizRate]
If you want to use this with your mac, look for the freeware driver package "macam". Even with that, it's still a bitch to get a non-Apple camera working with a Mac. Which is lame.
hows the top of the line webcam now a days? The last one I had was about 6 years ago when it was grainy at 320 resolution. This doesn't seem bad though.
I have this LifeCam. It has decent quality. Its not the best but its good for the price. If you're planning more than just using for chatting with a friend, then I would recommend another cam. If you mostly just use this for IM's then get this Cam.
This is a great deal. I bought mine from newegg 3 months ago for 35 bucks. Works great, it has auto-face detection so it follows your face when talking. Autofocus works well.

how many shipitfree deals are there going to be today?
Is this a good deal? Never have MS webcam before.
I think logitech is the way to go. MS has never been great with hardware
The M$ keyboard and mouse are nice.
This is a good deal. Microsoft is a better brand than Creative which is what I have. Creative webcam sucks...
totally agree #6. Crative webcam sucks
i personal like the logitech cams but how does LC work now?
