So, I'm in the market for a new camera. While my QuickCam 4000 has served me well, I know I can do better with image quality. I've been moving more in the direction of digital cameras rather than webcams, in terms of just browsing, but only have about $200 USD to spend on anything right now. Any suggestions for what type of camera I should? At my school, we have Nikon D40s for YearBook, and I like those, but are they alright for brickfilming?
If you don't mind spending all that money on a camera, get a Canon Powershot A620, or A640. If you'd like to get some other stuff, go for the Quickcam 9000 (there is a version for Mac, under a different name) or the Canon Powershot A85, which I believe is about $120. Use the rest for LEGO, software, or awesome gadgets.
Thanks, just bought a Canon PowerShot A85 off of ebay for $50, with plenty left over to spend on other things.
WOW. I wondered if this would be and good?
The Canon Powershot S3IS it is the same as the 'S5 IS'. And is very cheap of E-bay
EDIT: Maybe the S5 is OK with live view.

If you're looking for a Webcam, spring for the 9k. You'll have extra money, maybe you can grab a mic or something.
If you want a camera, go for something in the Powershot Series.
If you want a camera and price doesn't matter you could get the Powershot A85
Edit: Oh. How's it working for 'ya?
