So you don't have to do anything or install anything to get it working and you see it instantly in things like Photobooth and iChat and QuickTime Pro.However, it would be great to have some drivers or some software where you can make some adjustments. This is great 'cause you plug it right in and it just works, it's using standards the Mac understands. So, at 640x480, the standard video size for things like chat, it looks a lot sharper 'cause it has all those pixels to choose from and create the image.So, one of the best, and worst, things about the Quickcam is that it has no drivers.

I was able to actually get that using QuickTime Pro to record although the videos are stuttery because that's a huge bit rate. You see, this thing works at 1600x1200 pixels in the hardware. As a comparison, this is recorded using the built-in iSight on a Intel based iMac and using the microphone on an iMac as well.So, as you can see, the video quality is definetely better with the Quickcam than with the old iSight and that's probably because it has more pixels. Let's go and take a look at what the Quickcam Vision Pro looks like.So this is recorded using the Logitech Quickcam, not only the video part, but also the microphone built in as well. You have to actually focus it on you and if you move forwards or backwards, you'll be out of focus.The Quickcam has a decent lens in it and it's got auto-focus and it also has a pretty decent microphone.

It's about the same price and it has auto-focus, something that most stand alone webcams don't have. Not only that, it's very similar to the iSight. It's the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro and it's a typical Logitech camera but this one is actually inside a box that advertises it's specifically for MacIntosh. Well, if you've been to an Apple store and tried to look for a webcam, you may have seen that there's only one that Apple seems to really carry and that's this one. But, what about MacPro users, or MacMini users, or a iMac or MacBook user who simply doesn't want the camera attatched to the screen, pointing directly at them? Well, you're gonna have to buy a third-party webcam for that and, until now, there haven't been any that's been, kind of endorsed by Apple. And the reason for that is, most Macs, all the MacBooks and the iMac come with an iSight built in just above the screen. On today's episode, let's take a look at the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac.Now ever since Apple stopped manufacturing the iSight stand alone camera, you know, that little cylinder type of device, there hasn't really been a good, stand alone webcam for the Mac.
