On ubuntu, guvcview can use the camera at full resolution. (Sometimes it cannot open the device; unplugging and plugging the USB cable usually fixes that)

guvcview -d /dev/video2 --resolution=1600x1200

The 'cheese' program should also be able to do it, but I cannot figure out how to get to the 'preferences' in i3, to change the resolution (default: 640x480)
