AFAIK, the terratec-cam should work fine. All cameras supported by our
driver have the same chip inside. So from the electronic
specifications (resolution, compression, ...) there is no difference
between the cameras. There might be differences with respect to lens
quality, design, etc. but I have no idea which one is better with
respect of those criteria. Anyone on the list has cameras from
different vendors? In what do they differ? Anyway, all cameras known to
work with our driver are listed at webcam.sourceforge.net. If you know
of any additional model let us know. The most extensive list of
supported usb-cameras is at www.linux-usb.org.

Have fun, Peter
