Logitech hasn't released a USB webcam for the Mac crowd in years ever since Apple was shipping FireWire iSight in 2003. Now that the external iSight is no longer for sale for over a year, Logitech finally offers the QuickCam Vision Pro as its best Mac webcam solution. The Hi-Speed USB tethered camera is reminiscent of the Pro 9000 and Pro Notebooks in many aspects, including from an auto-focus Carl Zeiss five-element glass lens; CCD pixel sensor; so-called 720p (960 x 720) video recording at 30fps; RightLight 2 sensitive low-lighting compensation; and a universal clip that mounts on any Apple Cinema display or iMacs. The built-in iSight - found only all Macs with integrated display - comparatively has a plastic lens, is fixed-focus, and uses a CMOS pixel sensor. The Mac QuickCam requires 10.4.11 or higher and at least a G4 800Mhz. One thing that may disappoint a lot of us is the lack of software that traditionally handles the video overlay effects and YouTube clip upload on Windows, yet the Mac version without the software costs $30 more. Granted, iChat does a good job of the video backdrops; so perhaps the only omission is the avatar effect which may not be that big of a deal depending on your usage. But still...
