Is this a good netbook for web camming?

Hi, My particular Acer has a fairly low-resolution webcam built-in, but has more than enough power to use a seperately purchased USB webcam for around $20-$40 from Amazon. Look for one around 1.2 or 3 Megapixels - this will run it fine.

Yes, it works well. The webcam however is not the greatest, nor the volume but works.

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

Webcam is alright, it's not horrible so your face should show as long as there's light. Oh yess I'm usually using both sony vegas pro 11 and photoshop cs6 at the same time while browsing on chrome and some other mundane things with no problems. It has never crashed on me. I'd go as far as to say medium gaming. It can play skyrim flawlessly on medium settings. Actually it can run in ultra but whenever a dumb mage uses a lightning attack, fps drops to like 3 so I always keep it in medium lol. Yes it shows bluetooth in the network and sharing center, but I never use it so I'm not entirely sure if it's what you want. Hope this Helps Rina.

Its a great netbook for that price. But It depends on what use you give it.Recomended for just browsing internet, facebook games, Word, and netflix. The Ram its small for this PC. I'm running it in all low quality to get more performance. Oh, and the wifi, have problems whit older routers, watch for routers who works with windows 8 wifi.

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.

well, for what I need (basically skype) it works perfectly on bright light.. it's not full HD and don't expect go-pro quality, but it's pretty decent. I can't complain about the focus. Again, this is not a ultra professional camera, it serves as a great wide webcam and you'll get good value for the price.

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

Assuming it has a USB slot, I would think so, but being only 720P in it's rating, it is probably a bit below such equipment for clarity and definition. I would think the Vieras could dummy down to it, but that would be a Panasonic specification capability question. If you spent that kind of money on a TV, I would think you would want a higher caliber web cam. This is perfect for what we use our's for on a antiquated HP Pavilion a820n.

Yes, I also recommend IP Cam Viewer as it works with a great many camera models.The web interface also works just like it does on any normal PC too.

You won't really have enough control over it but it is amazing while it lasts. Just buy a cheap student light and that should fix it! But on the other hand the webcam it self does what it says it will do. Basically it is in 360P - 720p and you could use it for some good quality skype calls and or omegle but for making video and uploading them this won't work as good as a 1080p webcam. I highly recommend this product for basic use and you should unplug the webcam so the children don't brake it because it is really breakable so be careful! I would say 8.5/10 get it :) VERY GOOD FOR THE PRICE :DD You won't really have enough control over it but it is amazing while it lasts. Just buy a cheap student light and that should fix it!

Is the general consensus that this is going to be a good to very good machine? I like most of the specs, but you never know until you have it in your hands...would love to hear thoughts of those considering purchasing this netbook.

Yes it has a good web cam built in I think it is 10mp.I have had problems with SKYPE in that the camera works fine until I connect then it quits. The USB Ports are pitifully under powered and this may be part of the problem.
