While supporting web cams out of the box is definitively a plus, please keep in
mind that the spca5xx branch of the spca50x is to be considered experimental.
>From their homepage:

Why spca50x ,spca5xx ? spca50x was originally developed by Joel Crip on the
Omnivision OV511 code.it is the official branch .spca5xx is an experimental
stuff, i have begin in january 2003, i don't need to start another project with
the same objective, so when that stuff is know to be stable, it will be
integrate in the spca50x CVS tree. I did not have any responsabilities if that
stuff, become or not in a release, ask the maintener Miah Gregory for that. At
the moment spca50x is know to be very ``static'' and spca5xx very ``reactive'' .

Until this is resolved, i made a mini-howto on compiling and installing spca5xx
