The Creative WebCam Instant with Eyegames video software has a button for taking quick snapshots, along with a focus ring so you can get the sharpest possible picture. Its claw-like stand means it can either support itself on a desk or grip the top of a flat-screen monitor.

Its basic webcam software comes with stacks of options and, if you're looking to get the most out of your camera, comes with everything you'll need. It can capture video at 352 x 288 pixels and does clever things like using the camera as a movement sensor for monitoring the area around your desk (it'll even email you if someone walks in front of it) or make time-lapse movies. It also comes with simple image-editing and multimedia email software to get you started.

Verdict
Most intriguing of all are the five games you can play by leaping about within the camera's field of vision. These are fun for about five minutes but aren't going to replace your PlayStation.
