Summative assessment for the TERM 1 1 Reading

KOLYAN 5.0 WEBCAM

Kolyan have created a new version of their popular webcam, which you can buy online. It isn’t available in shops, but you can also order it over the phone from their catalogue.

Kolyan have reduced the price. The old model cost €135, but this new version only costs €109, plus €15 more if you want a silver or gold version. The design is slightly less attractive, but it’s much better value in a competitive market.

This new model also sits at the top of your computer screen, but it’s much smaller than the old one, so you almost don’t know it’s there. You can use it with any computer because you just attach it to a flat surface.

The picture quality is also excellent, and it’s perfect for chatting online. They’ve obviously listened carefully to their customers. I sent some comments to them last year about the old model. The pictures were clear but not light enough. People who I met online thought I had dark hair, but I’m blond!
