So I'm getting into computer vision as a hobby. I need a convenient way to get good quality input - so I'm looking for a webcam. On paper, they pretty much all look the same. I don't know enough about them to really distinguish which ones are better than the other. Halp!
I really need some great video quality. High resolution is a plus, but 640x480 is all I absolutely need as long as it's a sharp, good quality picture. More resolution than that would be nice, though. Some cameras are more tolerant and still produce a good image under non-optimal light conditions, which is definitely what I want.
Also, I don't care too much about still picture quality and resolution, although I'd imagine that a high quality still picture would be a byproduct of a good camera in general. I don't care about built in microphones. If it has one, I'm just going to disable it.
As for budget... lets say under $100? The cheaper the better, though. I'm looking for good bang for my buck. Or perhaps even some bang for Santa's buck?
