So I need to get a webcam for some ichat video conferencing… is there any webcams ( say that would be available at best buy ) that are compatible with macs(OSX) and ichat?

if not, does anyone know if I can use a windows aim / webcam with mac/ichat with a web cam??

I don’t ever use web cams, the guy on the other end will for sure be on mac / ichat. I need a solution to work with that… I have both win and mac machines…

thanks… smith

isights are nice but expensive. They’ll work fine with ichat.

Never used any other webcam with a mac…not sure if they’re all compatible…[look at this](http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/), it gives a list of compatible USB cam and they’re drivers…it also says which ones are avaliable from bestbuy

Not sure about ichat working with MSN, somehow I doubt it would work.
