    among these:

    Microsoft LifeCam VX500 /VX1000 /VX3000
    Microsoft LifeCam VX5000 /VX6000 /VX7000
    Microsoft Lifecam NX3000/NX6000/NX8000
    Logitech E2500 / S5500 / S7500 / Pro9000

    Which has the best video quality/resolution/etc for it's price? I've only seen the review for the VX3000 and it seems ok.

    I wish I knew the model of the one I have, its a logitech. I got it after having a video conversation with a friend that had it. It was by far the best looking & sounding of any webcam I have seen and it was pretty cheap.

    It is a logitech, I just looked at it and cant see the model listed on it anywhere so I am going to go look at pictures on google really fast and see if I can spot it for you.

    Edit: mine is the S5500 the lower model of the S7500, it worked great for me even in my very dark room.
