Camera Support

Here's a list of some USB webcams and their current support situation (sorted alphabetically). Yes, I'd love to support all of them - and many more :) Before you send me an email asking me to support your camera, please read the notes - they are for you. If you want your camera supported, try to solve the issue mentioned there. At the bottom of the page, you'll find a list of commonly used chipsets and the references I have about them - for the techies. If you know something new (wrong info in the lists, new sources of information, cameras not listed here), please tell me about it! Thanks!
