LQ: Recommend to me a good webcam!

ValidiusMaximus · 07-24-2005, 12:44 PM

I'm using the latest kernel 2.6, i'm on Debian Testing and i want one that will work with Yahoo. Currently i am using Ayttm for my Yahoo client but will switch is there is one with better webcam compatability.

I'd also like it if i could capture video and take stills. That, however is second priority.

If you take a look at the list at

http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/searc...pattern=webcam

and then eliminate everything that either doesn't work, is obsolete or is obscure enough that you'll never find that model anyway, you probably have a short enough list (probably mainly Logitech, Creative and Philips) that you can google for reviews and comments on individual models.

my concern is that since the phillips driver is no longer under development what is left that actually has a driver?
