Obviously on my iMac, I have the built in camera for FaceTime, which I use often. If I move to the mini, do I just lose this capability?
Got a tip for us?

You can add any number of external cameras. I have one that I bought for $5 or so on some website years back that works like a charm.
From my experience, you'll be able to use Facetime with any external USB camera, but no matter the resolution you won't be able to send Facetime video in HD.
The Logitech C910 seems to do 720p in Facetime on my late 2012 Mac Mini, but the Logitech QC900 Pro, which was the most reliable web cam I ever used in Windows, doesn't even work consistently on the same MM.
