Bug Description

On Ubuntu Oneiric Beta, with Cheese set to display my Logitech HD Webcam at 1280x960 (photo and video) the displayed image shows horizontal lines, most of the image is not full colour and a small part is in black and white. If I change the resolution to 640x480 the image is clear and in full colour, although not in HD. The camera is identified as an UVC camera.

This bug also affects me just that my camera is a C300:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:0805 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C300

This model is capable of up to 1280x1024 and symptoms are the same

Same here. My Logitech C270 worked out of the box in 11.04, but it doesn't now. Resolution is 1920x1080, and I am using the proprietary fglrx-updates driver.
