    Yes but there are several major webcam chipsets that get great image
    quality.
    Like Philips PWC chipset that is in zillion modern webcams, Divia NV802
    -- same.

    3-4 supported chipsets would make a great difference already.

    FreeBSD should be fully suitable to run as home PC and w/out webcam
    support at all it hardly can.
