What webcam are you using?

[pooky2483]

I have been doing some shopping, looking for decent webcams to use with Xeoma and I am really struggling.
I'd like to know what you, the other users of this great piece of software are using. What webcam are you using and what’s the quality of image under different resolutions (screenshots would be appreciated) and are you using one with night-vision capabilities.

Thanks
Pete

Right know I'm not using any. But I used an old Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision SE, it can handle resolution up to 960x720 at 10 fps without problem (if I'm not wrong it can hadle 15 fps but most of the time I used at 2 fps, it was more than I need). It's not a Day/Night camera but got an accepted quality with low light.

One note: I never let Xeoma handle the camera, I use MJPG-Streamer to do the job, it allowed better handling of the camera, for example turn the camera led off of the webcam.
