That's usually caused by a mismatch between the power supply frequency and the 
sensor sampling rate. Have you tried in plain daylight ?

You're welcome. Thanks for the report. I'll update the supported devices list 
as soon as Berlios become responsive again.

Your hub is probably running at full speed only (12 Mb/s), and the camera
