What web cam should we use?

All systems now come with a camera and built-in microphone, but maybe the one that comes with a particular system is not good enough - especially the in-built microphone - for online teaching. One can use a headset, but I don't like to. 

My system does not have a good microphone and the camera gives a bit of a grainy image, so I use a USB webcam -  a Sony BRU-200. Like me, it is a bit old, and works well, like me, but unlike me, is not available anymore. Some reviewers have said that it was too expensive for the specification - but then how much do you pay for quality?

I could be wrong, but I don't think that Sony sells webcams anymore.  I would be interested to know from readers what web-cam they use.
