GPhoto2 and for X11 frontend, GTKam. GPhoto2 often (always?) provides
its own drivers to access and operate the camera and transfer files, and
now supports many models that nothing else can consistently. Some
cameras, particularly the pricier ones that can be confused for
traditional photochemical cameras when you only look at the front of
them, can also be accessed as usb-strage devices, but I find that if
WebCam is part of the name, chances are that it isn't that high-end.
