Using 12.10 and 13.04, I tried what Scott O'Nanski just mentioned. Using guvcview (or any other webcam software) other than cheese works perfectly on several types of webcams. Juts tested an HP 1080p camera and a Genius one. Both work perfect. But if I use cheese with them, everything looks lagged. Feels like 5fps instead of 30fps. This only happens with cheese.
