Recommended Webcams?

[jisoo22]

Hello all!

I'm in the market for a new webcam and I wanted to ask everyone if they had any good recommendations. The last webcam I used was a Logitech Quickcam Express. It was a decent cam but my peeves were that it didn't handle low light conditions very well. I saw the Quickcam Pro 4000, which looks very nice and is well reviewed but I don't want to spend $60+. Does anyone know of a decent cam for around $40?

Thanks,
Jisoo22

Resolution's not a huge problem as long as the picture is clear. It's not like a need a 640x480 video screen for conferencing =)

I have seen a couple of "Best" awards given to the Trust spacecam 380 in our UK PC magazines.
These are USB2 devices so offer better than normal frame rates and fall into the sort of price bracket you are talking about.
They don't have a built in mic tho.
