Embedded webcams are relatively small thus the normal multi-piece lens isn't possible. This results in poor image quality because the lens can't focus on an image with a smaller focal length.
Different types of webcams differ in terms of the image quality they provide. Some of the best webcams today are those that use a high-resolution imaging sensor coupled with a high optical zoom lens.
