If you search on ebay for `usb web cam led` you'll see a common list of
no name webcams. I bought one of these (though not off eBay). As off
1/10/05 there was Linux support, which I had been holding onto for a
couple of months.
The quality is only decent in the day light (I couldn't get it working
in windows so couldn't compare the quality). They are dirt cheap, so I
believe they are worth it to play around with. Potentially the quality
will improve as the drivers are reviewed.

Hello,
I'm looking for a good usb 2 webcam supported by Linux. I found the
page at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=9 but
so far couldn't find any USB 2 webcam in the stores except for
something on eBay which looks similar to the Apple webcams and
which doesn't provide any details about its specifications.
Can anyone recommand a good camera I can buy in Australia and
is well supported with Linux 2.6 (Debian)?
I intend to use it for very long distance video conferencing with
Windows XP, in case this affects my options.
Thanks,
-P
