Webcam photo quality?

Does the MS Lifecam Studio have good photograph quality? I need a webcam for still photos, and have a Logitech 525 rated at 8MP, but pictures are just large without high resolution or clarity. What is the true optical quality of the Studio? I have a Nikon 4MP digital camera that takes nice pictures, but want the ease of computer control and storage of a webcam. I like the tripod mounting capability as well. I not as concerned with streaming, video chat, skype, etc.

Here are some places to find a good quality camera. Here are some sites to shop at.
