Aqua-Soft ForumsHi all, I have a Powerbook G4 15" and a AMD 3200 based PC, and on my PC, I have a crappy web cam that I got years ago for free when I signed up for DSL. Anyways, I was interested in buying the iSight around Christmas time but it disappeared, and I am not paying more than retail on the already high priced item.
I also work at CompUSA, and my apple rep said that the iSight being pulled in the manner it was was the first time in history an apple product disappeared without notice. So he thinks at this mac world they may announce a new one or whatever.
Anyways from what I can tell, no other web cams will work natively on the mac without special software, so does anyone know of one that will? Or would it be worthwhile to buy a nice logitech camera with some software? I am looking to get as much functionality out of the webcam as I could with the isight, specifically iChat. I never had much interest in this feature cause only one other person I knew had a mac, also with no webcam, but this Christmas a few of my friends got the new mac books with the web cam built in.
So if someone could shed some light on this it would be great. I am looking for a high quality cam, in the 50-100 dollar range, for the same functionality as an iChat. I have been eying the Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks, Deluxe and Pro versions, as we sell both in my store, but I am weary that I will have difficulties.
