I'm surprised a 'common' web camera would have that much flexibility, i.e., exposure
time and frame rate. What's the need there? Does it have something to do with color?
Perhaps it simplifies the frame grabber?

A web camera is a camera and framegrabber integrated into one unit. Naturally,
that gives lots more control than a framegrabber alone, which is limited to
RS170/NTSC/PAL video formats.
