 |
|
Hello, I have a mac mini and I�m trying to find a compatible webcam. The only one I can find here is the iSight which is ridiculously expensive.
I think my options are to order a cheap one from the net (does anyone know the best online company to use? Will Amazon dispatch here?) OR can anyone recommend a webcam that will be compatible that I can find here?
Thanks

Check out the macam home page. It's a USB driver for OSX that supports a truckload of USB cams (the latest update even adds support for the PS2 EyeToy camera. 
The list of supported cams is quite large, so you'll probably be able to find a cam you can pick up in Korea.
How much was the iSight you saw? I just picked up a used one (in Japan, not Korea, sorry) for $100. Compared to the $200+ they go for on ebay, it was a steal, and it's nicer than any USB camera I've ever used. |

Why would you pay 200 on ebay when off the shelf they're $150?
Logitech makes some compatible cameras but unless you find a driver on the aforementioned page, don't expect to be finding any 30 dollar webcams for the Mac. I'm holding out for the iSight. It really is the best one.
