Pi ribbon vs USB camera (lifecam 3000) vs ethernet

We need to do some testing on the pi ribbon camera / USB camera and decide if it's good enough. Questions include (but are not limited to):

  • Does the Pi camera do annoying things like auto-whitebalance? (some googling will probably answer this)
  • What's the colour depth like on the ribbon camera? Is it "rich" enough? (probably need to look at the two camera feeds side-by-side).
  • What's the overall quality of the image like (sharpness, lens distortion, etc)?
  • How bad is motion blur on the ribbon camera? ( can probably google "rolling shutter" vs "full-frame". We can probably come up with a way to test it, take a still while waving it around).
  • Other relevant questions?
