Thanks for your tips. I was reading the Webcam's box and it says it has "5MP
resolution (interpolated)"
And in the webcam's instructions, it says it has "1.3MP Resolution
(interpolated)" I believe I'm going to
complain at the store because, they are selling cameras mentioning one
resolution in the box and other
completely different in the instructions.
That's no Fair.
