Here's a $9 one. I've tested this one on Linux and Windows. No need to install drivers. It's 640x480 with manually adjustable focus. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OB883F6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00…

I've also tried a couple of Logitech cameras (C525 and C922) with the Ultra96v2 with both Ubuntu (Pynq) and PetaLinux. I'm currently using the C525 (use the C922 on my Windows box). I guess you need to…

THanks Ralpha. I order the C525 since I noticed you got it to work in one of our Pynq implementation.

I guess you need to determine what resolution, frame rate, and other features (auto-focus) that you want. The C525 seemed about the right compromise for cost but it is an older camera that I bought a couple of years ago. I'd probably get a C615 today. I've had reasonable luck with Logitechs but YMMV. For lower resolution you can't get much lower cost than what Sean recommended.

I am using Logitech C922, but it is definitely not the cheapest. It works great for my project.
