Webcam - uvcvideo

[Asmo Koskinen]

Hi,

I just made finnish Wiki page for Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 - that 
model has Carl Zeiss optics. It uses uvcvideo module, so Ubuntu 7.10 
works out of box. Some highlights.

1. Two programs to watch.

3. Microphone

Microphone is not bad at all for podcasting or something.

4. Ekiga and Skype worked too

5. Finnish Wiki page - http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Logitech_QuickCam_Pro_9000


This webcam is not a cheapest one but this time you can really do 
something with it - record podcast, stream and capture video and chat 
with your brother who still use some strange OS ;-).
