Should have added this for my #12 comment. Still never got this to work.
I have two identical Lenovo Z570 laptops and the same issue exists on
both. I can see the camera operate in cheese, however you need to be in
a really bright light source to see ANYTHING. Even tried a few tools to
blow out the brightness and contrast, but still not much better than
mediocre.

Here is the information on my machine:

dmesg | grep Lenovo
[    1.592905] usb 1-1.5: Product: Lenovo EasyCamera
[   22.925687] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Lenovo EasyCamera (5986:0292)
[   22.927540] input: Lenovo EasyCamera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.5/1-1.5:1.0/input/input7

dmesg | grep uvc

[   22.927776] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo

Any update on this would be great, thanks.

Title:
  Lenovo EasyCamera not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Lenovo EasyCamera is detected in Ubuntu 12.10, 64bits but does not

  Skype, Gmail chat, etc detect the camera (under /dev/video0) but the

  activated.

  I've tried solutions as the one depicted here without luck:
