Try acroname.com or lynxmotion.com They're not the cheapest out there, but very reputable and have most stuff that you're lookin for. We've purchased alot of our robotics components from them. Of course, there are alot more resources, but it just depends on what exactly you're looking for and where you live.

I'll be working on a project sometime soon that involves image capture and processing. See below for brief description. - I want to be able to view the video from a webcam in a GUI. - Capture frames from that video. - Process the images. That's it! Has anyone written an application similar to this? Can anyone recommend a language best suited for this type of application... Visual C++, VB, Java? I'm in no hurry to get this project started, and I'm able to learn new languages fairly easily. I've completed a project similar to this, but in assembly language. I want to step it up to a higher level language with a GUI. Thanks!
