I'm wondering about buying a webcam for my live streams, but don't want to spend much on it. Would want to buy a normal webcam but not a bad one. Which webcams do you use?

Thanks for your support :)

Can't go wrong with Logitech. Maybe check their stuff out?

i have read a bit about cameras, it seems that logitech and microsoft are the best, but logitech is a little bit higher in terms of quality. For low budget, however, it seems that the best option is Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000, what do you think?

You've obviously done more research than I have, and Microsoft is a good brand so it's probably a good choice. Go right ahead!

Download droidcam on your smartphone and use it as a webcam.

pseye: 60 fps, more in-sync with gameplay than other webcams, fairly cheap on ebay/other online stores, colours are pretty dull and washed out however with sufficient lighting it should be fine. only has small resolutions like 640x480 though it shouldn't matter if it's placed at the corner of the live stream
drivers are harder to find now but meh, if you do get a pseye google around for cl eye drivers

before this i had a logitech c270 which was slightly more expensive. it has better colours but the delay between webcam and gameplay was fairly noticeable, though quality-wise it looked better overall, motions just weren't as smooth as they were on the pseye

tl;dr: pseye for accuracy and 60fps swag, logitech _____ for quality

oh yes forgot to mention it's the ps3 eye, don't think the newer ones are supported with drivers on pc

Best choose is PS3 Eye . It has 60 fps + it costs 2-3$ ;)
