FWIW, Dan Lynch in his blog recently bought and recommended a Logitech Quickcam:

"I also bought myself a new webcam and after a bit of a false start I
finally got one which works easily under Linux. I bought the Logitech
Quickcam Communicate Deluxe and I highly recommend it to any other
Linux users looking for a webcam. It wasn’t expensive at under £20
including postage and getting it to work is as simple as plugging it
in, happy days."
