Hi guys!

What's the best iSight camera I can get for an iBook G4? I'm in the need of a webcam, but I don't want to get a usb 'cause I'll have to use my windows machine... ugh... so any advices?

Get an actual iSight (external). I got mine off eBay for about $50. University surplus, never used. That was about two years ago. They seem to be going for around $40 on eBay now.

It's firewire and that will beat any USB cam just by virtue of CPU processing.
 
Definitely go for the real thing... an iSight is still better than a good chunk of the FW / USB cams that are on the market.
