Hi Loki,

I got a Logitech HD webcam (c905, they say it's one of the best
webcams together with the 9000 pro) but I still wasn't happy with the
frame rate and picture quality :(

At the end I settled with one of those little flip-cams:

I got for one for 99€ discounted.

Example of the video quality (never mind my performance):

Audio quality is abysmal but I can record with jack and multiplex over
its original audio.

I loose the ability to encode raw frames to the format I wish but the
USB bus can't sustain 30 fps HD frames anyway, so I think it's a good
trade off.

Cheers,

-Giuseppe
