THE NEW FUMIX WEBCAM
Fumix have created a new version of their popular webcam, which
you can buy online. It isn’t available in shops, but you can also order
it over the phone from their catalogue.
This new model also sits at the top of your computer screen, but it’s
much smaller than the old one, so you almost don’t know it’s there.
You can use it with any computer because you just attach it to a flat
surface.
They’ve also reduced the price. The old model cost €125, but this
new version only costs €99, plus €10 more if you want a silver or
gold version. The design is slightly less attractive, but it’s much
better value in a competitive market.
The picture quality is also excellent, and it’s perfect for chatting
online. They’ve obviously listened carefully to their customers. I
sent some comments to them last year about the old model. The
pictures were clear but not light enough. People who I met online
thought I had dark hair, but I’m blond!
