    My dad got a Logitech Quickcam 4000 SX or something like that, very nice cam, extremely clear image even in very low light conditions, face tracking, built in mic, reasonable price, and the usual suspects.

    - Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX ~ £35.78

    - Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 ~ £36.30

    - Logitech Quickcam Fusion ~ £47.93

    All good, I'm gonna be getting the Pro 5000 next time I'm up at Scan HQ - check this out for photo and video examples.

    EDIT: The Creative Live! Cam Optia ~ £32.04 + £7 cashback, looks pretty good (see here)... although it has no mic.
