You’d say most webcams are all the same, having poor picture quality. In fact, that’s true as 99% of the webcams with so-called digital zoom, which only does pixel enlargement.
The DC-NCP130 works differently from all other webcams. Instead of offering only digital zoom that only enlarges pixels, it features a 7x optical zoom lens that can be affixed onto the webcam itself, especially good for those with close ups of your surroundings. This USB-powered webcam boasts a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels and can record video at 15fps.
My advice, if you’ve been webcaming using poor quality webcam and then you have a switch to DC-NCP130, be ready that you might give a big disappoinment to all your webcam friends, since it will unveil all your pimples & scars! No words on pricing and availability yet.
