I knew WFBs would jump at the $20 option. You really should watch the  
video I cited to see the difference and understand why people are  
happy wit their $5000 purchase. Might even get you to spring for a  
$180 Kodak or a $900 Canon.

Actually, I was thinking more in line of a webcam that would attach to
the monitor. Also looking for a decent mic for recording podcasts.

You can check out podcasts you like and find out what they use.  I'm pretty
sure guys like Adam Curry keep lists of what they use online.  If you not
I'm sure you could email the podcasters and find out.

Go to Radio Shack with a $20 bill.

  This is about right.  What passes for generally acceptable video or
audio quality in the computer world can likely be obtained with $20
components.  Being a bit facetious here, but not by much.

Agreed.

However, if you have a DV camcorder to use as a web cam, you'll look 
more fabulous than with the cheapo web cam. Don't run out and buy one 
just for the web. The cheaper camera might be better because it has 
terrible resolution, thus will use less bandwidth. You have to RTFM for 
the digicam to get those settings.


Or use an iMac, MacBook or MacBook Pro, or any PC with a built-in camera 
and mic.
