Dual-mode digicams

[kallenin]

Hey,

I'm looking for a dual-mode digicam for use primarily as video, but with decent stills. I've glanced at the Logitech ClickSmart 510 looked nice, but it only has 320x240 video. I'm looking for at least 640x480 with 30 fps. The Logitech Quickcam pro had the video, but no protability. Then there were those Creative Pc-Cams...I don't know what to think about those...

Anyway, I was browsing amazon.com and stumbled upon this:

What do you guys think? 640x480 video is pretty nice, and I don't expect to be needing high-res photos, so it seems to hit the spot. Any of you guys have experience with this one, or maybe EZonics stuff in general?

I also found this:

It doesn't say how many fps though. Still, it looks pretty normal and decent in most respects.

Maybe y'all know of better Dual-modes?

Some of the Fuji cameras double as webcams. Check them out, not sure which models though. However they may be beyond your budget though. Expect over 250, however their primary use is as digital cameras (2.1mp and up, lcd screen, optical zoom...)
