For the moment, max resolution in ekiga is about 640x480, so I suppose 1.3MP or 2MP should give the same results. There were 1-2 attempts, even patches (see mailing lists) to let ekiga use higher resolutions, up to 2MP and with H264 if I remember correctly, and it seems it is not difficult, however the work stopped there. > Has anybody done subjective or quantitative comparisons between cameras in > these two classes of quality?
