Looking for a good webcam

Hey all, I'm looking for a good webcam, but specifically one that has really good light pickup. What I often find with my current one is that I have to up the gamma making it very grainy and distorted looking. A friend of mine recently bought a Mac and her iSight webcam is -really- good for light pickup and quality.

So I'm looking for one that may be comparable, but preferably not quite so expensive.

Any tips appreciated! 🙂
 
If you have a firewire port, you could actually get an iSight. They are not inexpensive(and the mic won't work on Windows); but it's a useful backup plan.
 
Logitech's Quickcam Pro 4000 and Quickcam Pro 5000 both tend to get very good marks for their low-light capabilities. I'm pretty sure that they're both a fair bit cheaper than the iSight.
