Tell me about webcams.
What's the bare minimum I need for decent Youtube posting and do I need special software for it?
I'm gearing up to start putting some guitar playing on Youtube. I've been practicing more recently and have come across a lot of terrible, but highly-rated, versions of some classic guitar pieces. I want to throw my hat into that ring and see if I can't raise the bar a bit. Usually, I am truly humbled and awed by some of the stuff I dig up there. But I've seen some butchering and it's moved me to start putting my own stuff up there.

I can't really be much help on what to buy, but most should come with capture software. I have a $50.- Creative. Works for me with Skype, quality is good.
Windows Movie Maker can capture video as well.

I have one of these:
http://www.theflip.com/ $130, good quality videos and you plug the thing right into your USB port. You could use it on your bike or car too. |

Do you have a digital still or camcorder with a USB port?
Most of them can be used as "webcams". Webcam is not really something you need for youtube. Just a way to capture and transfer to the computer so see 1st sentence.

Surely, some of you guys must have these. I'd like to keep it under $100, if it's possible to get a decent one in that range. There are about 5000 of them on eBay. I don't know where to start. I'll go by Pelican product reviews before any other.
