Anyone got any recommendations for a decent webcam that is...



A: Mac OS X compatible

B: Has decent optics to use from a distance (around 3 meters or more)

C: Not too costly

D: Has audio



I'd ideally like a Cam that I can hook up to my Mini that's connected to a 42 Panny Plasma.

Maybe one that could sit atop the Plasma and can pick out a person, under good lighting, across a room.



Any recommendations greatly appreciated



Thanks!

    I've been looking (half-heartedly, admittedly) for a webcam that has remote control (pan, zoom, etc).



    There are supposedly 3rd-party drivers that work with Mac, but I haven't looked too deeply.

    eBay an iSight (Apple product)... I use one with a Mini and a 46" LCD... works great.

    Thanks for the info folks. Slim pickings indeed! Pity Apple never updated the iSight.
