Compatibility issues, Genius Webcam FaceCam 1000 or 3000?

[Volodya]

Hello people,

I'm looking for a new webcam, since I bought an incompatible one five years ago and the drivers for Linux haven't been developed yet (1b17:6111).

Now there are two options where I live, Genius FaceCam 1000 (US$ 30) or FaceCam 3000 (US$ 55). Which one is better (more compatible with Puppy or Ubuntu, better performance) and why?

What about the relation cost/benefit? Although both say they are HD video capable (720), what's the real hardware difference between them? Because of the 25 dollars difference.

Perhaps somebody has experiences with them?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
