As a reviewer the best bits of info I can give you about webcam sites is details on the girls, ease of interface, video quality, and site design. It's much tougher to get into entertainment value because that all depends on the individual girl you pick and how much fun you can have with her. No doubt a key point about all webcam sites is the pricing structure. I clicked on a whole bunch of the Cams girls and private shows will usually run you $4.99/minute. If you're a choosy shopper you may be able to find a few at $3.99 or $2.99 I ran across one chick at $1.49. Pre-recorded archived shows are offered by some girls and those are $0.99/minute. Live cams are always one of the most expensive forms of porn with the big selling point being live interaction with a chick.
Cams.com features sexy amateur girls performing live from their homes for pay-per-minute viewing.
Cam Girls Live is yet another live cam site featuring over 1,100+ live amateur girls, with somewhere around 150+ available online at any time. Getting right to the basics here, an average live show will cost you around $3.99 per minute and $.99 for a pre-recorded show. You do not have to be a member here to check out the site itself, you can browse around and look at the girls, see their bio pages and even a handful of small screen shots (non-nude).

I've reviewed a handful of webcam sites and Cam Girls actually has a pretty high number of girls online. As I browse the site there are 130+ to choose from, certainly a respectable number.
Once you have become a member, credits here can be purchased in $20.00, $50.00, or $100.00 increments, and the model page (or who's on now? page) is separated by the girls offering free video teaser chat, live nude chat, and a handful of recorded shows. You can also select a niche category and browse from there. The nice thing here is, if you are a premiere member and check out a models gallery pics, you have the chance to check out some really cool pics.
Obviously not the best quality "cool", but hardcore "cool". Like this one model, bluestar, she's way hot and her gallery page offers dildo insertion shots, great boob shots, anal beads, plugs and more. Wow, I am likely to take this chick into private without even thinking, that's some good stuff! And to be perfectly honest, I did, I used the rest of our "reviewing" credits on her (it's a good thing the others have already completed their reviews here or I'd be in trouble:).
She was way hot too, not shy in front of the camera and worth every penny (okay maybe not cuz this stuff isn't cheap but if you have some cash to burn, then hey, why not). She touched herself for me, asked what I wanted to see, played with her boobs and even took off her tiny little shorts to play with herself for me and that was all within the first 3 minutes! This girl doesn't mess around! If I was a little less shy (me? shy? I know...) I'm sure I could have gotten her to do a lot more!

The main page refreshes every minute or so, updating who's on line for free and who's already in show-mode, awaiting more paying customers. Even the girls in free chat are wroth checking out and will give you a nice little stiffy at the very least, but don't expect them to stick around long to get you off, once they've got a paying customer, show's over! The overall quality of the picture here depends some on the girl and her equipment (I am assuming) but the stream can often times be highly pixilated and choppy. Speaking of which, there are 2 sizing options for viewing: large (640x480) and small (320x240). Overall, though, what it's going to come down to here is $$$$$$. You can't join a site like this and not spend some money and it's real easy to get carried away and end up spending more than you probably intended to, especially on 1 girl (I did! Damn that bluestar). You can find some really interesting entertainers here too; people who are give lesbian shows, group shows, fetish shows, couples, mature and more.
The video for the both free and paying viewers plays in your browser in an embedded Flash window. There is no difference in the speed of the video for free versus pay, which I'd estimate to be around one frame per second (though some will be better or worse depending both on the speed of your internet connection and that of the model you are watching). Obviously this doesn't quite look like streaming video but it seems to be on par with what is offered on similar camsites.

Joyandvision tips:
Cam Girls Live is a good option for a camsite if you're interested in a large collection of models. The video quality is fine, nothing to write home about but no worse than what you'll find on other sites. The biggest drawback to Cam Girls Live is the price. Personally, I can't do it. $5 a minute is just too much. But that's really a personal decision. If you do find the girl of your dreams you may feel $5 a minute is well worth the pleasure and privacy of a site like this.
