The linux-uvc driver doesn't actually support still image capture. It
only supports the stream mode, at whatever frame rates the hardware
provides.  (The difference shouldn't matter in your case though.)

luvcview and guvcview will show you the detected rates and resolutions
with the flag "-L".

Check out this (official Logitech) page and the linked Excel (:-P)
files:

And indeed, you're lucky, your camera is listed with 5 fps at
1600x1200.

Hope this helps,
Moritz
