Q1ultra and video capture

My main gripe about the Q1ultra is the lousy video capture ability of the built-in cameras. So I tried plugging in my Logitech webcam and voila - no problems capturing video using Windows Movie Maker. So my guess is that the driver for the built-in webcam might need an update? Not sure if this is the problem and there is no later version of the driver on the Samsung download site. Will go in search of forums to see what others say about this...

The main point, of course, is that you want a device that makes it easy to record evidence for portfolio purposes and at the moment, the Q1ultra ain't it. Far easier to use one's own mobile phone camera...
