Not at this time, but if I found such a site I'll post here... or may be better in your new Web Cam/RAW mods for Astro, Digital Cinema camera use? thread?

About the high sensitivity camera - DXB-9200EX is a good one on paper and theoretically you can replace the sensor in a CCD webcam with this one and use the USB2(IEEE1394) connection already on webcam.
Two examples:
a Sony ICX414 onto the front end of a standard modified webcam
replacing the ICX098 CCD in the Phillips Toucam with a ICX424

Be aware that the Philips SPC900NC (one of the most expensive webcams today) is a USB1.1 device! VERY BAD because the sensor is quite good - Philips SPC900NC
Some e-shop sites claim that this webcam is USB2.0 and capable of 90fps,but when i see the screen shots from the drivers interface, I see 640x480@15fps is the maximum!
