I'm using slackware 14.1 on a lenovo T430s laptop.
I'm looking for a webcam that I could use on skype.
I was wondering if the logitech C270 would work.
I saw somewhere on the web that all uvc compatible webcams should and
this one is on the list.
Does anybody use this webcam or could you recommend another one.
that definitely not "cheap", but nowadays hits - chinese cheap "gopro clone" works also as a webcamera - i test it on slack64 14.1 on a skype.
price on SJ4000 is about 100 USD, but it is a very good as you can use it not only as webcam, but also a fullhd action cam too
Doesn't your T430s already have integrated webcam? I was under impression that all recent T series models have them. At least my T430 does (and it works on Slackware).

Just my $0.02 - I have a Logitech 310 USB that iirc cost around $40 USD that worked out of the box. All my comm apps work fine excepting Skype having one minor annoyance. I have to go into Options each time I launch Skype and change the mic from "USB Device" to something else, and then back again. As I understand it this is because I don't use PulseAudio but it is minor enough for the few times I use Skype that I don't mind.
I have a couple Logitech C300s I use on Raspi's running Slackware Arm and operating remotely with wireless. Work out of the box, reasonable image quality, and most important for me they don't require much power although I haven't been able to sort out how many milliamps they actually use. You should be able to still find them in a box at swap meets or on ebay.
