An order of magnitude better than any competing webcam, Logitech's QuickCam Pro 9000 captures stellar video at a variety of resolutions under almost any lighting conditions. It's light on the bundled software, but what's there is good. And at $99.99 (direct), it's priced in line with its main competitors, the Creative Live! Cam Optia AF and the Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000. Unless your budget doesn't reach that high (in which case the $25 Hercules Deluxe Optical Glass is your only worthwhile alternative) there's no reason to consider any other webcam.
