    You can have the best webcam, but if you do not have a lot of video memory in your computer, you'll not get a really good quality image.

    Of course, you need to check the settings in webcam properties. Sometimes you get better results with everything on auto default settings. Sometimes manual adjustments of white balance, brightnes, etc. will help.

    And the last thing. A lot of people do not realize that to have an image you need light. If you are using a webcam under very low light conditions, forget about good quality.
