webcam recommendations please

[RedStilettos]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a decent quality, not too expensive webcam, that runs well on a Mac? I've got a G4, running OS 10.2.8.

Thanks,

This one got a good review, works with the Mac, and is not too expensive. And the shape is, how shall I say, interesting.

Here's a site that shows many cams that run well on a Mac. We have the Logitech QuickCam IM (about $30-40), and it's worked very well, especially for the price.

When I was researching, I found this site to be incredibly helpful as well.

Anything logitech. logitech can be a bit pricie but then as durable long lasting and are pretty damn good. thats all i know to use with macs. for PCs you can buy anything that has the name logitech or Microsoft on it.

its best to set a price range ahead of time (how much you are willing to spend) then going to your nearist computer depo store (best buy compusa) and asking some one there.

oh and if you want really good look for something that has a higher frame rate.

I have the same set-up as you do. I just use my DV camera. But Apple's isight is great, albeit a little pricey. But if image quality is important to you then you should spend a little money.
