Changed the owner of /dev/video0. Now I'm getting this (as normal user):

[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ pwcview
Webcam set to: 320x240 (sif) at 5 fps

And this message goes on and on. I get a new pwcview window on the desktop 
with a billiard green color but still no image.
But it is already more than before !

With the Creative webcam5 still nothing. So I guess i will have to abandon 
that one and stick with the Logitech.
