Hi, I have a mac pro with a cinema display and want to buy a camera to use Ichat AV. I noticed that the Isight Camera has been discontinued by apple. Can someone recommend another camera as good as Isight that will work with IchatAV. Or does anyone know if apple is going to come out with a new camera? why did they discontinue the Isight, does anyone know?

thanks

Have I been living under a rock or what? I never realized that Apple discontinued the iSight (glad I own one). I'd look for one on eBay. While some of them are ridiculously priced, they average at about $180 - $200. That's a lot of money for a webcam, but the iSight is still the best cam for Macs, hands down.

See this thread:

where I provided links to some eCamm products that may fit the bill for you.
