Hey all -
When I started shooting my Joes, I was using a cheapo webcam I've had for years -- it works well up close, and I didn't even bother to consider why before I tried to upgrade.
Long story short, the camera I ended up with sucks for close-ups and doesn't have a macro setting.
Can anyone recommend a good one under $100? I don't need more than 1024x768 or so, just something that works well for detail up close (low focal length? Can't remember my optics from HS physics ;)).
