I was also recently in the market for a web cam, after a researching everyday on many different sites I decided to go with the logitech c500, which cost me $40.
C500 is packed with an attached 6' USB cable, software CD, instructions and a two year product warranty.

Simplicity at its best, the expandable clip easily attaches to my LCD monitor or it can free stand on the desk. I found that the webcam installs perfectly with or without the enclosed Logitech software. Just plug and play. It paired well with both AOL Chat and Google's Gmail "G Chat", Msn etc.

I was very impressed by the clarity and sharpness of image transmission. The microphone picks up even the faintest of whispers. The jury is out on the product's RightLight technology. I did not see that much difference in lighting over my older Logitech webcam. The manually operated privacy shutter is a nice add on.

Overall for the price and features, I find the Logitech C500 Webcam to be a step up over other internet communication tools in the same category. The C500 delivers on the basics and more.
