I have an inexpensive digital camera, an American Idol keychain camera by Digital Blue, that is not recognized on my 24" iMac Core 2 Duo (Leopard 10.5.2) by either iPhoto or Image Capture. It is, however, seen by System Profiler as a USB "PC Camera". Is there any way to make iPhoto, Image Capture, or some other third party photo software recognize the camera and download images?

Thanks
