    Hi,

    I am really interested in either the Samsung Q45 or the Q210, but want to know what the webcams are like, not sure if people are replying them threads, so I want to ask how are built in webcams on Samsungs generally?

    Specifically indoors with indoor lighting. When you do a webcam chat or recording, does the receiving end of the video say the video is good, or is it blocky, blurry and low framerate because of indoor lighting.

    I had a Asus F9E which I returned because the built in webcam was next to useless. The size of the lens was like a pin head, hence not letting much light in causing really bad pictures. In daylight it wasn't average either, even my cheapo £10 webcam was 100 times better than the Asus.


    Many thanks for the help.

    I can't comment on the quality, but you can see the size of the lens in this picture at Trusted Reviews.

    The camera on my Q310 is great. Fairly large picture and fps is good. Although you need good lighting to get the 30fps, without good lighting it's more than acceptable.
