Depends on if you're doing it for a webcam or security.  If you're going 
for security cameras, you're better off getting a standard security 
camera and a VCR.  If you actually have to use that footage to get a 
face or license plate from at a distance, whoever has to look at that 
footage will have nothing to zoom in on with a digital system 
(pixelated nature of digital pictures instantly obscures detail at a 
distance like a suspect on COPS).
