For the record: I have a Logitech QuickCam Express (046d:0920, there
are other models of the same name), and it works with spca5xx. The
driver does not support compression (yet?) on this (and many others)
webcam, and so it's quite slow - around 4 FPS (it's USB 1.1).

I never used myself the 4000, but I also heard that it's much better.
