I am looking into taking harmonica lessens via Skype, and I need to get set up. I would like to also make videos for posting on YouTube along the lines of what GreyOwlPhotoArt does (with lesser harmonica talent, of course). I have no clues about any of this. Any advice on equipment? I have read reviews on several webcams with integrated mics for about $50. Would these be sufficient for what I want to do? Can anyone provide some minimum specs?

Here is one I was looking at:

Logitech HD Webcam C510 with 720p Video and Swivel Design

Thanks in advance.

Tom, you might benefit from the info in a recent thread:

BTW, a Zoom H2 is also capable of acting as a USB mic for recording to a PC. It's more than $50, but it's a very good mic and recorder.
