hi,
For low-light environments, you should avoid CMOS-sensors, they make a lot of noise. The common CCD-sensor USB webcams are the Philips PWC740 and the Logitech Quickcam pro 4000.
I have a "Logitech QuickCam Notebook Pro" which uses the same sensor. The image quality is very good. I bought it because there's not many webcams on the market that works with Linux...
There's a problem with these webcams; they need a binary only decompressing kernel module, supposedly optional. :-(
