It was one of first USB webcam chipsets, if not _the_ first one. If you are not committed to CPiA then you probably could explore other options. All depends on what do you want to do with the camera, and whether you have any existing requirements that need CPiA. > I have a set of cameras...Can u suggest which one would be the best to buy Usually people advise to buy a supported Philips camera instead. Their chipset is better in many respects, and the driver was written with Philips' own specs in hand. You can either use an open source driver with some functions (decompression) omitted, or you can use binary driver that has everything. See http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ for the list of Philips cameras. Dmitri
