    without know what u need it for can't really suggest one over the other, but TBH why pay £60mine cost me £17 it's creative (not sure of model) and it does everything I want, good video and pic quality, only thing it lacks which i think the ones you mentioned do have is a built in mic (built in ines are usually not great anyway), and face tracking capabilities.

    I'd buy a cheaper one and spend the rest on a mic headset combo... if u need one, or just on beer!

    thats what I did.

    hope it helps.

    TTFN

    Tried quite a few using Argos's no quibble money back system and the best one IMHO is the Logitech 4000 (now Named 5000).

    Even Logitech's other models did not get near to it.

    I have the logitech quickcam ultra.

    Not cheap - Amazon have just brought it down to £65 or so but the picture quality is second to none. Plus intergrated mic, no echo etc.

    Wait a month and the quickcam pro 9000 will be out for around the same price. Specs are excellent.
