Preferably not too > expensive. :-) The linux-gspca-kmod driver supports a large numbers of cameras so if you pick some of the inexpensive models from Creative or Trust chanches are that they are supported. Avoid those stating "1mpixel" or more because they are likely not to work with the driver - often they require USB2 isochronous support which is not available in FreeBSD. I had reasonable experience with the 'creative notebook' http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?product=629 using the linux-gspca-kmod port. This camera goes to 640x480 natively on usb1. cheers luigi
