...then get the ToUCam Pro. It's cheaper and better. If you can find it.

The Philips Vesta Pro Scan is a good camera, it works well in all lighting situations if you don't mind fiddling with the camera controls. I rank it within the top 5 of the 30 or so webcams I have tested for my company.

However, Philips is phasing out the Vesta Scan Pro in favor of something better, the ToUCam Pro, which is selling for $70 at staples. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find it for sale anywhere other than staples, and the install software is buggy - it crashed on me midway through the install (fortunately it had already installed the drivers at that point). I expect that Philips will have a better installer soon, so this would still be my webcam of choice, it ranked #1 out of the 30 or so cameras I tested. The image quality is superb, and the framerate is unbelievable.
