Help! Need advice on a better PC cam, a.s.a.p.! =)
 

I'm currently using a Quickcam PRO 4000, but the picture is really grainy no matter what I do. I am a semi-pro photographer, and know how to work lighting, so that's ample.

The only way to get a really clear picture from this thing is to use the low backlight setting, but that drops the frame rate, then I get mass amounts of motion blur! :mad:

Can anyone suggest a better camera? Or some way around this problem? I've tried everything! And I cant make good vids with the way this thing looks now.

Help would be greatly appreciated!!! :)

Actually I'd rather know the answer to this myself lol cam's have always been a major pain in the ass and always seem grainy as hell no matter what lol

in other words I have no advice lol

my girlfriend suggests turning the Sharpness all the way off, and that helped her some, good luck

Tra la brand new handle, and first post , dang I rock

If you want to take decent quality photopraphs buy yourself a digital camera. The Canon EOS 305D / Digital Rebel XT is a great entry level digital SLR camera. Even a basic Canon A75 will do much better than most web cams.

Yes, to get really good quality still shots, you'll want at least a 3.0 megapixel digital camera.

However, if you also want the webcam capability, here's a good choice, assuming you're in a well-lit room (something other than a single 60-watt bulb in the ceiling). I use it and like it.

I find that strange actually, I just recently picked up the quickcam pro 4000 myself and mine's clear as can be, infact I was rather impressed wiht the hquality
