Hi David
I cut my webcam teeth on the LPI, which was a very nice, educational, useful and easy introduction to webcam imaging. It is a nice, integrated SW/HW package and the software is easy to use. A big plus is that you get the results there and then - no need for the post processing with software such as Registax.
After seeing the results of others using the ToUcam, I purchased a Philips ToUcam 840K and have not used the LPI since, as the ToUcam has better resolution as nicely described by Hitchhiker (above).
Going from ground zero, I valued my learning experiences with the LPI as overall, I found it slightly easier to use out of the box – it is quite a forgiving system. If you don't mind the steeper learning curve and your focus will be planets and the moon, I would recommend the ToUcam.
Cheers
Dennis
