So i found this webcam at a thrift store for six bucks, I thought is was the 9000 but from a little research its not unless its a old model, so can someone tell 1: What is it. 2: is it any good for animation. 
I believe that is the Logitech Quickcam Fusion. It was released in 2005 so depending on what OS your computer runs (officially only windows 2000 and XP are supported) compatibility might be a problem. It doesn't have particularly impressive specs with a 1.3 megapixel sensor (not enough for HD I think) and it's maximum resolution is 1280 x 960. One thing that is pretty important to know for animation is whether it has full manual settings (including focus). I can't seem to find out but now you know what is it called, find out yourself! 
...So can any one tell me if its any good for animation?
I dunno, why don't you try it out yourself? 
It shouldn't take long to plug it and check image resolution, test out different settings, and see what's manual and what's not. How about taking about ten minutes to find out in real life, instead of surfing the internet for an answer?
