How good is good? Whose opinion is best? When is bad simply due to poor lighting, a cheap camera, or a camera that is not adjusted correctly?

In the Tim and Niklas Fireside Chat presentation shown at AlwaysOn conference showing off the new Skype Video Application (watch it here ) was the wash out of Niklas due to his wearing a white shirt (that’s a big no, no) or poor colour rendition by the Skype Application (maybe Tim Draper’s tie settled this point)?

I don’t wear a tie anymore, and I certainly couldn’t get my fellow beta testers like Carlo and Peter to wear a tie, let alone a tie like Tim Draper’s . (grin) So we are designing some test tools and scenarios to evaluate and compare video applications. I thought I would share some of those tests with you today.
