To tell the truth, as someone who is following the linux hardware support, I can tell you that I didn't see lately any cam from the major player (Microsoft, Logitech, Creative, Philips) that is not supported. Some are supported only partially and some (specially Logitech) are fully supported.
Even the cheapest ones (the ones which you can buy at the supermarket for 30-60 NIS) are supported by Linux. Funny thing happend to me few months ago: I bought a really cheap webcam from the supermarket (it costs me about 30 NIS) for some testings (just some motion detection, quality was not a factor). With Windows XP the machine was crashing entirely (MS knows that but there's no replacement driver) but with Linux (Fedora 8) it worked excellent.
