Recommend a cheap webcam for skype on linux (Fedora 16)

Question

linux

Recommend a cheap camera for skype chatting in linux (Fedora 16 latest kernel).
No special requirements, the main thing is that it works out of the box!
And the price - up to $ 10, well, in extreme cases - up to $ 15.

I would like to hear the opinion of people who actually use such cameras
on the same or similar OS.

UPD. I bought today such an ESPERANZA TITANUM TC102 for $ 5 in the nearest store - it worked immediately after connection. Everything works great, there is only one problem - when you turn off the light in the room, it turns on its 6 LEDs that blind your eyes! Can this feature be disabled somehow?

Answer 1

Take any that does not come with drivers on the disk.
They have a completely standard interface.

Answer 2

Fedora is not present, but there is an experience with Ubuntu
Logitech Webcam C110 www.ulmart.ru/goods/239495
bought recently. no problem. works in skype and google hangouts the quality is much better than the $100 camera from five years ago.
The fact is that cameras under linux either work or they don't. most work. there is a standard USB protocol UVC en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_video_device_class
there are probably cases that it works halfway, or does not work in Fedora. but I haven't come across such reviews about it.

Answer 3

Here is another good service, I used it at one time cammster.com/
But it has a slightly different functionality than yours

Answer 4

In theory, any camera known to run UVC under GNU/Linux.
From what exactly works, the mother who sits under Ubuntu GNU / Linux bought DNS-1302W, the same one was bought by one friend sitting under the same one. It works, everyone is happy.

Answer 6

On ubuntu 10.04 and newer I take logitech c270 720p for 12 euros. The picture quality is excellent, not much worse than the more expensive Logitech Quickcam Fusion.
