Webcam specs are so confusing as is CCD vs CMOS..............can't decide if all the hype on CCD's is justified........CMOS has come a LONG way  |
Generally the ToUcam was so good because it was responsive down to below 1 lux (even below .1lux) and it had did 640 x 480 uncompressed. The basic control software was re-written by many people to give better control...things like
WcCtrl.
But that was like 3 years ago. I reckon that newer fire-wire interface web-cams would be better at giving much higher frame rates at higher resolution.
All that said. It's the sensor chip that really matters. One of the links shows a comparison of sensors.
I think most people moved on from web-cams when the new crop of DSLRs could do HD video!
