I have a cheapo HiVal usb webcam. I bought it primarily because I was using it with my laptop and it was the best I could find that was designed for this duty. I have thus moved it to my desktop and am really disapointed with its quality. Its dark as hell. Theres no settings physically or software wise to change it. The room is not dark, but the light does come from above. So shadowing occurs. But I can't believe that its totally a lighting issue because my workspace is flooded with light. Will a better webcam make a difference? Is it worth it to go out and spend $100+ for a new one? Any thoughts, suggestions? The lighting will not change in here, so please aim answers towards cam issues. Thanx.
