This one offers the compatibility at a reasonable price. I have been looking for a certain time for a MAC-compatible web cam. There are not many available and most of the time they are very expensive.
I purchased this so I can use this with Ichat (using iUSBCam v2.2.5 software). By purchasing this camera you also get 5.00 off the purchase of the iUSBCam software.
Anyone with older hardware like me with definitely enjoy this camera. This setup is a great alternative to purchasing a firewire camera (iSight).
I purchased this for my old 600Mhz G3 Ibook (10.3.9). This camera is definitely worth the 29.95 I paid for it.
Just remember its a $29.95 camera so please do not expect a Mercedes at a Honda Civic price. That particular laptop only has USB 1.1.
Everything works great.
We've used it twice (tried to use it twice). Is the price right for something that doesn't work well. We think this product is a turkey. Finding the button, or combination of buttons, to actually send video has eluded both my wife and I. Probably not. The Macally Portable Goose Neck USB video met the physical demands of the counter top our Mac sits on, but that's about all.
The gooseneck is very convenient, and for a cheap camera, it gets the job done. Picture quality is a bit fuzzy, and it doesn't see a wide area, but you can't expect a lot from a webcam in this price range.
And it uses a driver. I usually trust and buy Macally products, but why bother making this camera at all. try something else.Macally Portable Goose Neck USB Video Web Cam - ICECAM there are plenty of driver-less webcams out there. it had a horrible photo. It looked like I was playing with Photoshop's image washes.
