$55.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this product is one of the few available for the mac----now that macs come with built-in cameras.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted a camera to use for my mac seamlessly and didn't want to pay the $200 or so for the isight and feel i came out ahead.
from www.amazon.com
if you go to the ecamm site and have all the updates that you need (i have an apple - so i needed to update quicktime -recs if u have quicktime pro - camera works thru that - had to make certain i

Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro Personal

$131.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this product listing is a bit misleading in that the mac can't really take advantage of the high resolution of this camera.
from www.amazon.com
it is a bit pricey as to what's outside in comparison to pc cameras, but it's the only camera that i found that worked on a mac and beautifully.
from www.amazon.com
this product works perfectly with my mac.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this camera so that i could actually use it with ubuntu linux (8.10 intrepid) & not a mac.
from www.amazon.com
if you have an older mac, or as i do, a non-apple flat-panel monitor, you'll need to supply your own camera if you intend to use video ichat.

Creative Labs Live! Cam Laptop

$42.00 Est. at Amazon

from Dan from Madison, WI, clickfrom.buy.com
the image quality isn't amazing (it's no apple isight), but again - worth the price of admission.
from Norm from San Antonio, TX, clickfrom.buy.com
of course i don't get all the fancy features/add-ons since logitech is not real mac-user friendly, but i probably wouldn't use them anyway.
from www.amazon.com
even though it is not listed as mac compatible, i plugged into my powerbook and without loading any software or doing any configuration, it has worked perfectly.
from www.amazon.com
i am very happy to report that this camera works fine with skype on an intel mac running os x 10.5.2 - i did install the free sourceforge mac cam driver but that may have been unnecessary.
from www.amazon.com
it works with osx 10.4 out of the box using skype, but lacks the nice brightness and color control that the xp drivers give but the quality was still nice.

Microsoft LifeCam Show Webcam

$74.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the picture quality coming out from those webcams made by logitech, creative, and apple (built-in isight) are pretty much the same, not good.
from www.amazon.com
i have an 2004 powerbook g4 that's running leopard.
from www.amazon.com
also, boasting a good number of fun features, easily outnumbering the amount of features found in logitech's quickcam software and even apple's visual effects.
from www.amazon.com
but before we hooked it up to my wife's laptop, i plugged it into our apple laptop and get this: no stupid loading of extra apps or software: plugged in, went right to ichat and it worked flawlessly!

also, they included a java applet for people who use firefox.
from www.amazon.com
the trendnet instructions give second class treatment to mac users, but the setup on our airport extreme wireless with a few macs on our wired/wireless home network was not difficult.
