I'm looking for a heads up on USB Cameras under Linux now and how easy
are they?
RH7.3 specifically.

One of our local rags (newspapers) has just come out with a four sheet
"saleathon" for advertising post christmas sales. Strathfield car radio
has multiple pages (cheap Cds (35c+), etc) and includes two Digital
Camearas for $58 each. 

There is the StarCam, which is clearly shown as USB capable and the Agfa
digital camera[1]. Both are claimed to do 640x480 pixel. I'm not looking
for a digital camera, but more webcam type cameras, i.e. something I can
just connect up to the PC to capture images.

At $58, I think they are worth buying for a fiddle. 


[1] It doesn't look to be the same as the agfa mentioned at
http://www.mit.edu/~mkgray/ephoto/ or http://photopc.sourceforge.net.
Curiously, Agfa (http:www.agfa.com) says that they have decided to
discontinue their digital cameras at the end of 2001.
