Looking for A good Web Cam

Hi all, I'm looking for a reliable, high quality web cam but one thats relatively inexpensive (say $100 US). I've done some looking and found that most web cams only offer 30 fps for video feed. Are there any that are higher, megapixel rating isn't as important as a higher frames per second rate.

Why do you need higher? I think analog TV feeds are only 30 fps, and for a $100 camera, that should be more than adequate...

But if you still want a 60fps webcam, the Philips PCVC750K (Philips Webcam Pro 3D) states that it can do 60fps at 640x480, and interpolated stills at 1280x960
Don't know if it's available in the US though, nor how much it costs (around £70 in the UK)

I wasn't sure what the standard TV fps were and wanted a nice feed. If 30 fps is over-the-air TV quality then i think i found the one in the Logitech QuickCam 4000 ($99 US). Thanks again for the input guys. I really appreciate it. Later.
