Does anyone know of an HD webcam that is available to purchase? I've looked everywhere and it doesn't seem like there is a single webcam that supports 16:9 at 720P or 1080P. Ideally I'd like a cam that records at 1280x720 (720P) at 30FPS. Its weird that there is nothing like that on the market, especially with the popularity of YouTube. I did find one camera that fits my needs, but its not for sale anywhere. Its the Genius eFace 2025. I found one short clip of it, and it looks great:

Only problem is that its like the camera doesn't exist. No reviews, not a single retailer, nothing.

Anybody know of any webcams out or coming out soon that support HD?

Looks like Logitech sell webcams that capture at 1280x1024?

Yeah, but thats still 4:3. I am looking for 16:9. I guess it could be cropped in post, but I'd rather have a native 720P webcam.

My Logitech Sphere offers 16:10 capture (1280x960@15fps) as well as the 4:3 resolutions. So I would assume these newer cameras would offer different capture aspect ratios as well.

Yeah, thats what you would assume, but then theres just nothing for sale.

Check out this thread that you posted to earlier, would an 8megapixel webcam help your needs? I think you need to start looking at asian exporters if you want the latest stuff. Perhaps where you live isn't the country/nation with the latest cutting edge stuff anymore? Jim Rogers moved to asia for a reason. Your xenophobic reactions will only cost you going forward Cyber.

Logitech has some new stuff too, you don't use google search often do you?

Here's the Amazon link for that Quickcam 9000 Pro

Thanks Martin. The Logitech C600 is exactly what I am looking for. I did try google, not sure why I didn't catch that. The premise of my thread is still valid though. That camera doesn't come out until next month, so as of today there is still no 16:9, 720P webcam on the market.
