I have a Logitech QuickCam 9000 that I've been mostly happy with for about 20 years. It has good enough resolution and good image quality, and I'm sure I could have lived with it for a good while longer. And yet, even though this camera doesn't have a case and doesn't have a microphone, it has just replaced my old webcam.
Things I like about it:
* Much higher resolution than my old webcam (12MP vs 2MP).
* Good image quality. Yes, you can see the compression artifacts if you look closely, so it's not going to replace raw input from a $2000 industrial camera. But for a webcam, it looks really good to me.
* Less lag than my old webcam.
Of course, if you're going to use it as a webcam, you'll need a separate microphone, and you may need to get a little creative with how you mount it (see my photo!) But once you've dealt with those things, it does a great job.
