They all should work fine with Processing. I recommend anything in the Logitech Quickcam Pro series, as they have a decent framerate, and great low-light performance (ie they work well with just a room light).
Bit pricey though.

I have used a Sony DV cam and the frame rate is great. I have also tried an iSight and the frame rate (with JMyron) was crappy.

Hi,
I'm experiencing also a low frame rate and bad quality (the cheapest ass messenger Webcam from Logitech) but how can i attach a DV cam for better performance like Venner? Trough Firewire? Jmyron works fine though a bit unstable sometimes.
Can somebody help?,
Cheers,

Note that you will generally get a much better framerate if you turn auto-exposure off. Also note that setting the exposure time to longer than the current framerate can cause slowness.
