Paired with free video chat programs like Google Chat or Skype, Webcams are the best way to stay in touch with friends and family from anywhere around the globe. There's a good chance the computer you have now already has a Webcam built in, but a 720p HD upgrade can't hurt, especially for less than $100.
We've rounded up four HD Webcams for your consideration, and though both Logitech and Microsoft offer wide-screen lenses and one-touch uploads to social networks like YouTube and Facebook, our favorite out of the group is the Logitech C510, a solid device that brings 8-megapixel snapshots, 720p video recording, 360-degree panning, and automatic adjustments that improve the audio and video quality.
For $60, the C510 certainly earns our recommendation, but check out the entire 720p HD Webcam roundup and a couple screenshots below for more options.
