Subject: [gentoo-user] LifeCam cinema or other webcams

Hi,

Has anyone used the Microsoft LifeCam cinema HD webcam?[1]  I know it's
from Microsoft, but in my experience their h/w doesn't seem as bad as
their s/w!

I know this question comes up all the time, but if not the LifeCam, what
webcam would you recommend?  My requirements would be:
      * decent (for webcam) picture - not too grainy / lowres
      * usb
      * preferably not spca drivers, as they seem a bit behind lately
      * no logitech quickcams, due to their problems with skype

If any cheaper LifeCams use the same internals, I'd be happy with that -
I don't need the flashy look.  The cheapest I can find one is AU$89.
