The major difference between the ToUcam and the LPI is the ToUcam uses a CCD sensor while the LPI has a CMOS sensor.

The CMOS used in webcams (which is a cheaper and inferior version to the CMOS used in conventional digital cameras) is about half as sensitive as the ToUcam's CCD sensor.

I'm also not sure you get as much control flexibility with the LPI.

However, you can still achieve acceptable pics from it.

You'll just find yourself looking for something better pretty quickly. It just depends what your expectations are and what you want to achieve?

Plenty of guys buy them and sell them in a fairly short space of time.
