laptop webcam

I'm deciding which laptop webcam to get. I prefer to get one that can rotate 180 degrees like the Creative brand, but I also want to have one that has a built in microphone like the Logitech brands.

Creative

Logitech
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10561

If I cannot find a camera that has both of those above features together, I think i will go with the creative one because of the rotational feature.

Also how good are the built in microphones for webcams, are they generally not good, or are some of them really good?

well rotating the camera 180 degrees so that you could take a picture of lets say someone who is sitting across from you.

especially since his/her hand will already be touching the cam.

Its not a laptop webcam but i use the Logitech Orbit and it works great. The mic is great too and it has face tracking software and software to move it. It doesnt move 180 degrees but its nice to not have to move it by hand.
