MacGizmoGuy : Cheap Mac Compatible Webcams For OSX Tiger & Leopard

http://www.webcam-for-mac.com/ -- A look at 2 cheapo UVC webcams comparing stark differences between the two. The first segment a rip-off knock-off webcam with very dissappointing microphone and color balance, but good sharpness -- and a cheap Logitech UVC cam with a soft image but much better microphone response and light management. Perhaps both prove why paying up for Logitech's QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac makes it the #1 choice for Mac webcam QUALITY - and at the low end, you sorta get what you pay for with trade-offs in image quality or sound.

FYI: All UVC cams absolutely REQUIRE USB 2.0 Speed ports! If you have an old obsolete Mac with USB 1x ports - look for a used Apple iSight.

God what a KRAPPI (tm) microphone on that 20 buck cam. I can't hardly stand to listen to the first segment.
