QuickCam Pro 9000 or Vision Pro for iMac? On a Skype call, does the video I receive depend on the other person's camera or on mine?

From what I understand, the video that the other person receives depends on not just your camera, but the speed of both computers, as well as the IM program you both are using. I think this is because each IM program has a limit on bandwith you are allowed to use, although I've heard Skype is on of the best for this. From what I've heard about the macam driver, it is made to get the camera to actually be recognized & used by the computer. I don't think it affects the image at all. Important--&gt; The difference between those 2 webcams is this: The Vision Pro for Mac has the auto-focus & RightLight 2 & all those features built in to the camera itself instead of being part of the software like in the QuickCam Pro 9000. The software won't work on a Mac because it is made for Windows only. Hardware based will work on any computer. So to be able to use these features you really should go with the Vision Pro for Mac.

I just bought the C930e for my I Mac and it works great. I downloaded the Logitech control software for OS 10.9 + and it worked very well. I am using the camera with Screen Flow and it is superb.

Works very well with a Mac computer. The camera is also easy as a Mac to use! The videos can be used in iMovie.

Sir, I have access only to the Webcam c905 and the Webcam Pro 9000 and I can tell you that the Pro 9000 only sits or perches on a monitor. It uses balance and if you are meaning to simply set the camara up and leave it be then the Pro 9000 is not a bad choice. If you are instead going to use this camara for travel or install it somewhere that it may be bumped it is likely that it will fall off. Not horrible, since it can simply just be set back in place, but could be annoying.

I am sorry to say. I really have no idea about iMac. This cam is working good with my Windows PC. Thanks

final cut pro six on my brand new imac refuses to read this camera. all the settings are correct...i believe, and the four to six pin cable is in the proper orifices. does anyone know what the problem might be? i really, really, really, really want to log this footage.

Thank you for your response. I don't have a Mac. I wanted to convert to AVI for two reasons: I need to rotate video taken on vacation recently (now I know not to rotate my camera for video) and my new digital frame takes video in AVI only. I'm looking for a conversion program that will give me phone tech support. Apple will not since I don't have a Mac. Anyway, thanks again for your comments ... any other suggestions will be appreciated. Happy New Year, Ann

I was so excited to receive my new LifeCam Cinema 720p today, but it won't install in my Mac Mini. How did you install yours?

Interesting. I just purchased this product and, assuming it would just automatically launch with iMovie, I was surprised when it didn't. I have a Mac Book Pro w/latest os. I wonder why I'm not getting the same response?

No, not 100%. The cam is recognized by OS X 10.8.2 (in my case) and can be used by facetime, Photo Booth .. etc. but in all Apple applications the picture is much to white. It

Thx for the update. We now agree the Flip works just fine w/the Mac, and especially iMovie. We made a bunch of quite amateurish uploads on a fun site that shows how this looks. See www.mytripjournal.com/beartrek10Tom

I have a Mac. However, I have Final Cut Pro, which I use to download footage from my Canon. So, although I have never used it with Mac software, it's possible it could work with iMovie.

thanks! this camera with macam is bit quirky but all in all works nicely (on the left usb port). works great with skype, and recording through macam itself (though there's no mic in the camera itself, so macam doesn't record any sound).

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.
