recommendations for webcam?

[Maverick2002]

In one of my classes my final project is a java program that uses motion/color detection to allow a person wearing specially colored gloves to virtually paint a picture on the screen. One of the requirements for this is a webcam. Can anyone recommend a good USB2.0 webcam for under $100?

alright, looked around and it's either Logitech QuickCam Zoom or Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. The price difference is about $10. The only advantage (I found) with the 4000 is the bundled software (useless to me) and 1280x960 still captures (also useless as I have a good digicam already).

I just picked up the Pro 4000. Image quality is excellent and the software allows for a range of adjustments. It's a good unit. Just get the cheaper package--it appears that the camera is the same unit with the 1.3MP CCD. If you can wait just bit, order from amazon and save yourself some $$. All the local B&Ms in my area were selling for just about $100 for the 4000.
