Does the older external iSight Web Cam produce better quality video than the built-in iSight in current computers or is it about the same?

I am starting to do video blogging more and have built in iSight on my MacBook and MacBook Pro. I also have the old iSight external web cam that was made prior to them being built into the computers. I never used the external camera because when I bought it, web cam's weren't popular and I couldn't get anyone else to learn to use one to skype with me, plus back then... I had no idea nor no use for video blogging. Before I pull it out and try to learn how to use it, I was just wondering if anyone else has used it and whether the quality from the external camera is significantly better than the built in cameras - enough to warrant using it rather than the built in.
Thanks for any suggestions!

USB camera substitutes for internal isight web cam

I am exploring the possibility of using one of two usb sources as external chat cams for ichat/AV (as opposed to internal isight, which I find inflexible on my desktop imac).
I have connected both sources, but neither are found as external cam options when I open up ichat.
My two options are (1) canon powershot A85 digital camera (2) macally icecam (which worked fine on an older G3 powerpc imac).
I am wondering who has successfully used powershot A85 or icecam as a webcam instead of isight in 10.5 environs, how you got them to function, what circumstances have you tried that did not work, and any retrospective insight as to why one or both worked.
I'm just beginning the learning curve for leopard. I have used macs for awhile now, but I am hoping to maximize my knowledge towards incorporating some purchases that are less than 5 years old in order to reduce waste and reduce personal expenditure.
Thanks in advance for both good and gloomy information regarding this matter.
Best to All!

Your exploration will not go far since the iMac's FireWire ports will not work with your cam.
(you'll need an extra hub in between, then it will work)
USB 2.0 is very fast, a USB webcam that is UVC compatible will work, almost as good as your built in.

But you should also give a spin to Oracle JDeveloper - a better Java IDE - that costs much less.

Apple iSight...

Does apple still make the iSight web-cam?
I recently purchased a Mac Pro, and was hoping to buy an iSight to use with iChat AV.
But I can't seem to find the iSight firewire camera in the apple store.
Does anyone have any possible alternatives if the have indeed stopped making it?

Hi Matti_boi,
No Apple have stopped selling it for several reasons.
1) In-builts.
2) Regulation changes in Europe.
3) have added USB Video Class to 10.4.9 (No Drivers needed for compliant cams

What web cams are compatible with OS X 10.4.11 for 1.33 GHz 12"PowerPC G4? I want to use it with Skype. Please advise!

I wish to purchase a webcam for use with Skype. I have a 12" PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4.11, 1.33 GHz. What inexpensive webcams are compatible with my laptop? (Mine is the metal case. The model number is: PowerBook 6,4) Please advise.

Also consider Apple's iSight web cam. It connects via Firewire which is faster than USB2, has a built in microphone & is self focusing. Here's an old review http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1383357,00.asp
I have one.
You can possible get a used one for $30-$50 on Craig's List or eBay. Be sure & get one with the laptop mount. The first versions only came with a table mount.

(newbie and technophobe here) Help with speakers and web camera ...

Hello, everyone!
I've had my G-5 since I ordered new in November of 2005, and only now am I geting around to purchasing speakers and musing about a web camera.
On speakers, the kid at Best Buy yesterday told me that speakers aren't really operating system specific. That is, that they plug and play into any computer and don't require any software; like speakers do to a stereo. However, I just noticed the speakers I bought (Logitech Z-10) for $120.00 do not have "Macintosh" listed on the box as it does for a PC on the Requirements listing. Before I open this box and find out they don't work properly, do I really need Mac specific speakers?
I also went to the Mac store here in Fashion Valley and they no longer carried any web cameras. After visiting three other computer retailers such as Best Buy, and Frys, I came up dry on cameras for a Mac. I do however have an Ebay merchant selling a MacAlly iceCam Web Camera Mac right here in town who I can drive over and purchase one if I want to. However, after going on Ebay, I noticed that the $300.00 Mac iSight camera is there for sale, so I was wondering what the difference was. The MacAlly one is around $27.00, whereas the iSight is close to $300.00. Is the iSight worth the price in other words? What can it do that the MacAlly can't? Would the MacAlly suffice just to talk to another across the country?
Thank you.

Martin, Rod:
Thank you for your responses. I think I have Panther(10.3.9), so will iChatAV be in that system, or will I have to upgrade to Tiger in order to make full use of an iSight camera ? Can I web camera with AOL subscribers, or am I pretty much limited as to who I can conference with?
Thank you for clearing up the speaker thing. It looks like I'll be returning them to Best Buy tomorrow, and then start a search for Apple specific speakers. Thanks again.
iSight question: It looks like I'm going to have to purchase an iSight web camera at an overinflated price at a site such as Ebay since Apple no longer produces them, so my question is, Does anyone know whether the camera came with software or manuals (In case the seller doesn't have any) ... or does one actually need any?
Keychain Question: What's this annoying keychain box that pops up everytime I use Safari? How do I get rid of it? What's it for? What am I supposedly unlocking? I don't think I have a keychain password.
Thank you all for your assistance,

Web cam for mac

My grand kids have just got an e mac and have set up msn messager to talk to their friends. I thought about buying them isight web cam for them for Xmas but the are expensive. Maybe this is not a good site to ask this question but anyone know of a good alternative which is more affordable?

The Mac version of MSN Messenger does not support video. Yahoo messenger's software supports video from Macs, and iChat supports video chatting with AIM.

E-bay Isight and USB web cams.

Two questions.
If I am looking at an apple isight on ebay is there a way to tell how old it is by model #? is there a batch that I would want to pick over another?
Is there a link or web page that tells which usb webcams are most compatible w/ macs.
my laptop and desktop both need webcams
thanks for the forums help

The M8817LL started being sold around july 2003. The M9330LL was sold around Jan 2006. That makes it a newer version of the iSight external camera. Here are the links to Amazon for both cameras You can see the specs and differences there.

Web cam does not override iSight camera. Any suggestions how to do so?

I bought a Logitech webcam but cannot get it to work. The iSight camera comes on instead and overrides the web cam. Any way to fix this?

If your Logitech webcam is Mac-compatible, it should be menu-selectable in the app you are using. Different camera apps work differently. Your Mac's Help in each application should give you more info on how each particular app works, but here are a few examples:
• Messages:
• Photo Booth:
• FaceTime:
• Skype:
• QuickTimeX:
If your camera recognizes only one camera, apps may not display even the inbuilt camera in the menu.
Different iMovie versions support different cameras in different ways. Search your iMovie > Help for info on your version.

Web Cam for Apple Macbook.

Has anybody purchased the latest web cam for Apple. Review please.

I get great results with a 12-month old Logitech Pro 5000 USB camera. Prior to the purchase of this C2D Mac mini, I used it with a 1 GHz eMac running Leopard & an 800 MHz iBook running Tiger. Since the arrival of OS 10.4.3, support for USB webcams has been built in.
I was surprised that the eMac worked as it is an older one without USB 2.0.
Prior to the purchase of the Logitech camera I also achieved excellent results using a Mini DV camcorder which connects via Firewire.

ISight as Web Cam

Ok so I don't know if anyone can help here but I am trying to use an external iSight cam as a Web Cam using a program called EvoCam. I have looked at their documentation but still can not figure out how to do this. My Mac is behind a Netgear FVS318 router

I use EvoCam with an iSight and a XBOX 360 cam to keep an eye on my dogs when I'm at work. (Don't ask, they've figured out how to open doors...) Works great for me.
What are you trying to do with it?
You can get EvoCam to write out to a file that you can view, or to stream it with the built in web server capabilities. Just depends on what you're tring to do.
There are a lot of potential issues with the router that might be causing trouble for you if you can't get it working from a remote network. Do you have more than one machine on the local network where the cam/computer is? If so, you can use that to test it and see if it's a firewall/NAT issue causing your trouble.
Give me a little more detail and I can help you set it up.
