Integrated Camera |
The Integrated cameraAlmost all recent ThinkPads have an integrated camera above the display. This camera (typically called a webcam) is USB attached. On some earlier ThinkPads a proprietary camera was used, but later models use a standard UVC camera which is supported by the uvcvideo driver. |
Because of their location above the display the cameras all share a long and thin board layout. But the exact shape varies. Often several models share the exact same form factor, but with different resolutions. DIY upgraders can sometimes use higher resolution cameras from later models or cheaper camera modules from earlier’s.
Also their connector varies. The 4pin connector usually carries two USB data lines and two lines 3.3V power.

ThinkPads (not) prepared to carry a camera module
For the X-series, the X60, X61, their -s models and tablets, which came out in 2006 and 2007, were not prepared for a camera module. The X200s had a camera with smaller screen resolutions, but not with the largest 1440x900 screen size
The W-series, being a relatively young line, has only models ready for cameras.
For other series, please edit to reflect when cameras became available.
