Or GoPro, which you don't need a USB interface for. Works all the way back to hero 4 apparently.

A GoPro performs horribly in bad light though. And it costs serveral hundred dollars as well.

If you already own one, then it might be an option. But buying a GoPro to get a better webcam doesn't really make sense.

Neither of those things is true. You might have to mess with it a little bit in truly dark rooms, but if you can read comfortably you'll be just fine. And far better than any webcam.
