Isn't bad quality, it's color disorder.

I have the same bug. This is almost certainly a Cheese bug. The issue on my x220 Thinkpad does not exist in skype which rules out the kernel. I don't know what other package to test with.

ii cheese 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam
ii cheese-common 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 Common files for the Cheese tool to take pictures and videos
rc libcheese-gtk18 2.32.0-0ubuntu2 A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets
ii libcheese-gtk20 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets
ii libcheese1 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base library

But if it is.. my webcam is:
