I will be getting a new webcam, Logitech Vision Pro for MAC. It's a driverless webcam that I can use all platforms such as Apple, Linux, and Doz. No need driver software to be installed.
I checked several reviews on Logitech Vision Pro and it rated the best for all Video chat software on MAC and also Linux. Doz just work fine too even Doz 7 (On Doz, you can download and install software for Vision Pro to run "Avatars", "face Accessories" and "Fun Filter").
I just want to use Skype, Ekigna, and other Video chat software on Ubuntu 9.10 as well as experimenting running ZPC100, Z4 and P3 VP software on Wines ( find out which would works on Nix' ).
My Logitech Fusion (look like Vision Pro except microphone on side) doesn't work with Linux except for older version (It partly works on Ubuntu 8.04). I've tried it on Kopete and it won't show video but vertical tilt scrolling in video window. So that's why I don't want to deal with Fusion's problem. Ubuntu 9.10 already have V4L2 driver pre-installed and it recognize Logitech Fusion plugged in USB but won't run it (type on terminal "lsusb" and it'll list what's plugged in.) I'm giving it to my kid to use as a video toys.
It may be expensive (cost around $130) but I won it it for $78 in Ebay. It's brand new. Worth the money tho.
Bottom line is that I WANTED IT SHUT UP AND RUN!!!
If you are Ubuntu or Linux users, here's the website you may be interested in:

also
Linux UVC driver & tools
This will help you to know if your Webcam is compatible with Linux or not or if you're trying to figure which right Webcam you want to purchase for it too.
I would recommend Driverless webcams. don't buy cheap, just get Logitech Vision Pro cuz it'll works with Skype and many more. Here's another website:
Driver-Free Webcams for Mac Windows 7 Vista Linux
I hope I helped
