All USB cameras suck. > Any recommendations? or suggestions? For $100 you won't get a decent setup. $40 will get you a random USB camera like the cpia or ov511 stuff.

If you want to do anything serious you either want firewire+dvcam or a good quality second hand composite video camera and a bttv card
