Wishlist #2: Webcam

My CMOS webcam, that I bought a year ago, has broken down after a few months usage. It’s been a while that I didn’t use it. When I plugged it to my laptop, what I got was a blur picture.

Go to Photoshop and set the gaussian blur to 10, it is roughly like that. I have no idea what is wrong, so the IDR.170.000 webcam has been kept inside the drawer since then.

I have forgotten about the webcam cause the boyfriend can’t use the Macbook’s webcam in MSN. So, we’ve been searching for messenger that allows video call for both PC and Mac & really works one. We tried video chat with YM! for million times but didn’t work. I could see his video for about 5 seconds and then PUFF! Gone already. -___-” Oh my, how I wish I could get an iMac or mac mini at that time.

Until recently, we tried again and it worked! That means, it’s time for me to get a new webcam! I don’t say I must get the pink quickcam from Logitech (although it will be great if I do ). Any webcam will do. As long as it can work and the picture is not so lousy.

I shall spend some time checking out the computer shops at Plaza Medan Fair for the best deal, since most of the computer shops in YangLim Plaza has closed down already.
