The webcam I use is cheap one I found at a discount store, I think you can pick them up for around $7au,
it appears to be a ZSMC USB PC Camera (ZS0211), Vimicro Cam, ProductGUID=3B61539D-2361-4962-8A23-2BE11965D32D, ID 0ac8:307b, it's not to bad does 320x240 or 640x480, works with most apps I've tried, they come in all shapes and sizes, it's a bit hard to see what your buying as there isn't much info on the box that it came in, the name on the box of the one I have say's "PC CAMERA", that's it , the mini cd with the drivers is an orange color that say's "PC CAMERA Product Driver, this contains Vimicro Windows and Mac drivers, I think it could a hit and miss experience in obtaining a cam that does work.

Hope that's of some help to you
