usb_cam image resolution and quality

Hi,

I changed the video resolution in usbcam (through imagewidth and image_height) to SXGA (1280x1024) and the image has indeed that resolution, but the quality of the image doesn't seem to improve compared to the default (VGA). I tested this with my laptop's integrated camera and in windows I clearly see the quality difference when taking pictures with different resolutions. Any ideas on this? Thanks!
