I have a lot of friends that live far away and a broadband connection to the 'net. Now I want a good webcam so I can see my friends while I talk to them. Is there a firewire webcam that is considered the best available? I don't have the cash for a dv camcorder or a digicam, I'm interested in a straight webcam. Any suggestions?

I have the ADS Pyro firewire webcam and it is very good - but to get it to run under X I had to download the Ioxperts firewire webcam driver.

Not sure of the US $ cost, but I paid £75 in the UK.
