Okay, thank you!

I don't know if HD would be absolutely necessary for me anyway, because even with the Vimcro camera, I only needed it to have manual focus; once I got the shot focused well, it looked just fine.
I use Anasazi SMA to shoot my movies at this time.

The Vimcro camera came in a kit that I bought about 7 or so years ago.
Okay, thanks. I also have a Logitech Quickcam 4000, but when I installed it on my current computer, it would only show in black and white, as of the last time I checked.

Yes, I forgot to make mention of that in my post. But it was the way the video looked that was my point of course.

Do you have some examples of how I could adjust the cord?
Perhaps you may have come across a photo of it in your searches, but in case not, this is what my camera looks like in how it is built, only with a cord coming out the back end:

Also, what do you think of this camera as an animation camera?

I agree with Harborlight. Creative used to be one of the top companies for webcams, but Logitech and Microsoft has pretty much taken over in that department.

Of course, since you said you had a $30 budget, the c920 is to expensive for you. That's why I recommended the Quick Cam Pro 9000. Maybe you should try it again on your computer, and re-install it's drivers and software. I'm sure that the Quick Cam Pro is a much better camera than the Creative and the Vimcro.

Microsoft lifecam cinema might suit your budget.  It creates okay shots.  Not HD but if youre a beginner then that wont matter.

Considering your budget, I second the recommendations for the quickcam pro 9000. I use one myself. Here is a shot I recently took with mine (taken at 1600 x 1200 and cropped to a 16:9 aspect ratio)

If you need further persuasion, this was shot with the quickcam pro 9000:

Thank you for your recommendations. I now own a Logitech Quickcam 9000 as of about 3 days ago.
Now, I do have one question. What do I do to ajdust the focus? This camera is described as having auto-focus, and last time I had an auto-focus camera, my images always looked blurry and I did not know how to fix it.
