If you want a great camera, pickup one of the new $200.00 jobs from from Sony. It takes awesome 16 gigs-per-photo clarity. Insane. It's a CAMERA and thats what it does.

The Webcams and the cams on iPads, ipad2s, iphones etc, all have tiny lens, and super tiny sensors. The tiny lens require the cameras to have lots of light. Without lots of light, the soft shutter has to stay "open" longer just to get a bright enough picture which generates noise (or grain) in the image.

Really this is basic camera-stuff 101.
