Dont worry about it....this is very simple. You certainly dont need the same brand.

Pick up whatever brand is the cheapest. FYI, you can get non name brand cams in India which work just as well. My parents have one of those and we video chat every weekend using Skype.

I think you can get it within 1000-1300 in India.

Snapshot allows you to take still pictures, which i doubt most people use. If you have a regular camera, or a cellphone camera, why do you need another picture taking piece of equipment.

Again, don't be taken in by all this, just get a reasonably priced one.

Thx guys. I will get one and try out. Just to acclamatize myself. Basically looking for a good quality picture and audio with no interruptions. Cant say how things are from desh side abt internet connections.
