I have a T40, T41P, and a Z61M.  The T series is thinner and lighter.  The 
difference between the 40 series and the 60 series for the Ts aren't that 
much.  I have seen a few T60s both Ps and non Ps.  The T series is 
significantly lighter than the Z series.  I work on the Z61M all day long and 
then pick up the T40 and it seems so small and light.  I couldn't justify the 
Z61P for one the additional resolution would make the font really small in 
Windows (which I don't use), and the additional almost $600 wasn't worth it 
to me. I made this decision after playing with my wife's T41P which had the 
comparable resolution to the Z61M on the narrower screen.  It seemed about 
perfect for what I needed.  

I have zero complaints about the build (I have the black  one), it is very 
substantial and very solid.  For a laptop, I would probably choose a T60 
instead, but for a general workstation, I really like the Z61.  What I don't 
have is the camera so I can't help you there, but really I don't think I 
would use the camera even if I had it, not sure what I would need it for 
except to show my boss that I am working in a T-shirt ;-).
