Webcam recommendations

[Zico]

Looking to pick up a new webcam for the household pc (i5 750 @ 3.36Ghz 4Gb Ram) so that they can use Live Messenger/Skype to speak with family in Austria & Cyprus.

I always tend to look at the most expensive and flashy bits of kit (FV TouchCam N1 and Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 - both about £90 each) but it would probably be wasted on the rest of the family (or broken inside of 5 minutes).

Anybody have any recommendations for a decent webcam?

Logitech Pro 9000.

Be careful with the latest HD things - a lot of them are utter rubbish, despite high price tags.

I bought a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema HD 720p Widescreen Webcam for my Dad. He seems happy with it. Price has gone up about £7 since I got it though. :(
