Thanks. But doesn't some of the logitechs use the phillips driver. What I would like is a camera with quality like the phillips or Logitech Qiuckcam 4000 pro. Anyone know of such a camera not depending of the phillips driver?Hello Hasse,
I've read in a Linux magazine today that the Logitech Quickcam Express would work (I have no idea about the prices though), requiring an external module. The Logitech Quickcam Messenger would /not/ work.
Also the Philips PCVC720K/00, Kensington VideoCam 67016 and Creative PD0040 would work, and the Philips PCVC840K and PCVC 740K would work if you compile en external module yourself. Sweex Mini Webcam would work as well, but V4L2 apps are not readily available.
Stay away from Aiptek Pencam Ultra (freezes your system), Logitech Quickcam Messenger, Trust 360 USB 2.0 Spacecam, Creative WebCam Instant, Creative WebCam Live! and Sweex Webcam USB2.0.
General remarks: not every Linux distribution will give the same results and of course the kernel version and parameters in use can make a world of difference, as we can see by the messages in this forum. Furthermore, some applications will work whereas other applications will not work with the same hardware/software setup.
So the answer is: it depends. Check www.qbik.ch/usb/devices if you see something you like.
Best regards, Edward
