I have an iMac DV and I am wondering what would be the best WebCam for the least money and the best quality that attaches into a USB port. Thanks!

tyler, check out the iRez Kritter USB camera. It's got decent quality and it does 30 FPS in any video mode/resolution you set it at . It comes with video conferencing software, and video capture software too. And it's pretty small and cool looking :-) I suggest it.

I just went through the paces a few weeks ago trying to choose a webcam. In the end, I decided that since only needed it for videoconfering the Quickcam VC (C$88) would be fine for my uses. My reasoning is that if I want to take good pics I should get a real digital cam.
If you want a good camera, I understand that the 3com HomeConnect (Mac drivers on website) has superior video quality and works well on a Mac.

Good luck...

Check out http://www.creativelabs.com - They now have Mac drivers for their WebCamGo thing. I was thinking about buying one.

Well, I bought a Creative Labs WebCam, but make sure you get the *WebCamGo* as the drivers unfortunately won't work for the non-Go WebCam, despite the fact that they're identical. I'll probably pick up a WebCamGo within the next week as well...
