Aloha, First, a moment to thank all of those who contribute their
time and talents to the continued updates to this project. Mahalo nui loa
(Thank you). May I solicit commentary from the list members regarding
1.3MP vs 2.0MP webcams? My university is beginning to roll out desktop
video conferencing (not only internally, but to off-island locations as
well). Is there anything to be gained by spending an extra $50-$80 to
upgrade from a 1.3 megapixel camera (e.g. Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000) to a 2.0
megapixel camera (e.g. Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000)? Has anybody done subjective or quantitative comparisons
between cameras in these two classes of quality? I’m planning on
utilizing H.264 extensively, but falling back to H.263 for compatibility when
needed. Thanks again to all of the developers, testers, and
users. John |
