I have reviewed many a cam site in my time and Cam Contacts is a good one. It's a combination of sex and community type of sites. At first, because there isn't a typical home page filled with little live cam boxes I wasn't quite sure what this site was all about, until I saw the "who's online now" button. I clicked it and everything started to make sense.
What appeared was a page filled with categories and little thumbnail pics. The two main categories are adult and non-adult, although within those two there are many sub-categories as well. For example, in the non-adult section, you have categories like friends and long-term or marriage, whereas in the adult section, you can see chicks home alone, lesbian, couple, dudes home alone and gender benders to name a few. You can be having dirty nude chat one minute and then chatting with a possible wife the next. Pay attention to the categories because in the non-adult section, there is no nudity at all. Not to worry though because if you want nudity there is plenty of it in the adult one.
In total there are over 38,000 different chat hosts registered with the site, but they are obviously not all on at the same time. These are real people, mostly amateurs, who do this from their home and also make their own schedule. When I was online, there were about 80 available in the non-adult sections and about 500 in the adult ones.
Although you do have to register and have a credit card (to confirm you're over 18), it is free to browse around, check out who is online, read their profiles and see photos they have taken during their cam shows. However, if you want to watch and chat with anyone live, you will have to pay, even for the models that don't get naked and are just looking for friends or a relationship. Since each host works for themselves, the prices do vary depending. However, in general, every one I saw ranged from about 79 cents a minute to 2.99 per minute, with most hanging out in the $1 to $2 dollar range. The prices were a little more for the private one to one chats, but even then, $1 to $3 dollars is what you can expect.
Finally, I should mention that even though each host is independent, the quality for the most part was actually pretty good. If you have a cam, you can do cam2cam chat with the host, so she or he can see you. If you decide you want to be a host, all it takes is a camera, a filled out form, some software and you are good to go. With the great variety, the sexy real amateurs, the quality cams and the low prices, Cam Contacts is well worth your time.
