I use this camera -- I found one for cheap and just wanted something
to put a live picture on my website with.
I got it working quickly, but I haven't fiddled too much with it, so
the picture quality isn't great. The auto-contrast and -brightness
don't work, so the picture can look a little washed out depending on
the light near my computer. I don't care enough to mess with it, but
if you're videoconferencing you might care.
My friend said he was going to buy one yesterday for $12US, so even if
it doesn't work too well, it's cheap.
