Hi, first post-been trolling though , was wondering if anyone has used the new Microsoft LifeCam VX6000 for ichat as a replacement for the isight? I like the color and the Hi-res/vista video capabilities of this web cam but I think it would be wise to purchase one only if it works on both macOsx64/lep and pc. I know it's MS but worth a 'shot' don't you think? decisions,decisions,decisions

A Microsoft webcam working on a Mac? I don't know much about that...
Would someone clarify my doubt? Do Microsoft Intellimice work on Macs?

If you want a great cam, compatible with OSX and iChat, go for iSight. Can't go wrong with that.

hiya,

there should be some app to bridge the cam for use on mac, (if it's a usb cam) it's called iChatCamUSB [a bridge-ing app ] or something like that. Apparently it's still in beta stage and is a little buggy but lets you use a usb cam on mac, photobooth, ichat, imovie etc.

i use a firewire dv camera.. ;-) no need to get another piece of equipment.

cheers!

Microsoft mice definitely work on Macs. This is the mouse I'm currently using on my iMac 17" (Intel):

Are you in France? I can see a Carrefour plastic bag. =)

thanks alot 4 posting this prog.

It's working with Sonix driver - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=129713

I find this as the most universal opensource driver set for web cams on mac os

If it comes from SourceForge then it's good probably... anything OpenSource tends to work better overall... at least in my experiences. Mainly because people can mod them the way needed without having to depend on the company to half-butt do something.
