I believe the Casio QV3000 will look like a wd* to the usb drivers. At
least it does this under M$ according to quite a few reports.  That
camera about $700 though.

The quickcam-like things that I saw all seemed to take pretty awful
pictures (very noisy, bad colors, very substantial barrel distortion
etc).

Basically the cameras with CMOS sensors all had awful quality.  The
ones with CCD sensors always could put them to shame in an A to B
comparison.
