.3 megapixel Webcam on Asus Eee PC T101M? For those who have this model, what has been your experience with the .3 megapixel webcam, versus higher resolution models on other netbooks?

This has been the determining factor for me when purchasing. I don't understand why Asus has a .3mp when 1.3mp seems to be standard and works fine. .3mp is a disaster. I was thinking of buying an Asus with USB 3.0 but not now.

Yes, I'm using Hikvision/Dahua 3MP cameras running in 2048x1500 resolution (higher than 1080P) at 20FPS and it's doing great. I have 5 cameras going into an Intel I5 based PC and it says it's using 32% CPU. Loving this software.

Download the driver from ASUS web site and install it. Then your camera will be 1.3mp in windows xp. The camera is the same on all models but xp sees it .3mp untill you download the driver.

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM

"Best?" ? Who knows which webcam is best for your needs? But let me quote a couple of the reviews of this webcam:"....I purchased 4 of these Logitech 961400-0403 Quickcams for use with friends over Skype because of the price, performance and features. The resolution is very good for VOIP,...."".... Once I figured out how to adjust the resolution, it has worked well with SKYPE and...."

I suggest buying a 17.3 laptop with even more features just to be on the safe side. I have another 17.3 inch and it works perfectly in this regard for video chat rooms. As I use Skype video calls it work great. Another alternative you can buy a Logitech webcam that has 1080p. This has a great rating and I am purchasing it soon. Well later and Best Regards.

Thank you so much. This 'zooming' was so infuriating, I was tempted to hurl my Asus eee against a wall. I am very grateful for your solution and the wonders of the internet where real people are infinitely more helpful than the 3rd rate customer support most computer manufacturers offer.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

I got mine from Fry's. It is the newer model with 128mb. There was some lagging in speed because the images were too high of a resolution. The quick fix is to use the WindowsXP powertool call ImageRiser. Free to download. Shrunk my 5.0mp images from about 1.7mb in size down to about 30k (at the 800x600 setting). Images now slideshow much faster and with a left over 512mb SD I had laying around, I could easily put thousands of images on it. Could not get the videos to work though, would be nice but no biggie. On the images where the pictures are bright and sunny, it looks great, but darking indoor images, the contrast is not so great. From 6 feet away, it is very watchable, up close at 2 to 3 feet, you can see the pixels.

Worked for me using logitech webcam - Please run CPU-z app & reply how much TOTAL RAM YOURS has, & speed of processors. These appear to be falsely advertised specs?

Thanks. I am assuming from all these answers that the Eee PC processor (Atom N270 or N280) is beefy enough to show the video without jerkiness or other problems?

Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

According to other sites, the webcam's resolultion maxes out at 1600 x 1200 at 30fps. 2 MP. I could not find any official stats using a quick google search. Not like it is printed on the back of the camera.

As far as I know, I am not familiar with that exact model of the webcam. - Try it you can always return it.

TThanks for the info. From what I now know, webcams are "VGA" or about .3 megapixel. I bought the N800 and found a 'snapshot' application. Under ideal conditions like office florecent lighting and a still subgect five feet away it captured a nice image. The default webcam seemed to blur horribly with moderate movement. I don't know how much that could be corrected with improved software, but seems to be common in devices like the 'flip'.It's a great feature, but no replacement of my heavy cannon powershot.t.t.

Hi There, i'm trying to decide what net book to buy, do you know if allowd to up grade the ram to 2 gb is it a ddr3 ? how it works with skype ? does it has a mic ?

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.
