Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

ShariseThanks for the clarification on the Vision Pro vs. the Pro 9000; very helpful to me.

The video that you received depends only from your contact camera, doesn't matter if you have $200 bucks webcam because your camera are working for send image to your contact.....you have to ask the other person how do you see my image??? or you can see in the little corner box your own camera image, is how the person see you.If you contact was very bad webcam affect the image that you received from him or her

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

I may not be able to answer this - I'm working on a MacPro 5.1. The product works fine and has provided a noticeable increase in video performance.

I'm using a Windows P.C. Not sure about using a Mac. I would contact Canon for more details. The software (Pixela) that came with my videocam does require only Windows OS to operate.

I've been searching for one tiger supported webcam too with no luck. Even in the manufacturers' websites they don't mention if any of them are supported. Though, there is some kind of software to force the drivers to work with the OSX for what I've read, but mind you, I haven't used it and since I don't know this kind of warez I'm not able to recommend them! Search for a little bit more of info and if you find a decent camera for the tiger, please let me know! I'll tell if I find one.

I've bought this camera to use with my iBook G4 and, after one day of use, I am seriously thinking about returning it. When using Skype (my main use for the webcam), the quality of the video is great for the first 2 minutes, and then it turns green, then all scrambled. I previously used a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 and never had problem with it.

Thank you for that information. As a user of Skype, I considered spending the hundred dollars to buy cameras for myself and friends. Based on the information, I'll save money and stick with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 for $60! The resolution on my Pro 9000 is wonderful.

Hi, I just bought the LifeCam VX-5000 and I have the same problem as Bonnie above. Could anyone tell me what version of windows and what version of skype they are using? I just want to get this to work. Thanks!

When I first ordered MB560Z/A NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro [ASIN: B00185RRXE], Apple Core Tech emailed me: "Thank you for purchasing the 8800 GT nVidia Graphics Card. The card you have selected is compatible with 2006 and 2007 (1,1 and 2,1) Mac Pros only, as described in its condition. Please contact me ASAP if you have a different Mac Pro model and I will make sure to send you the correct 8800 GT nVidia Graphics Card." I responded that my machine an early 2009 MacPro, 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, and needed two dual link dvi outputs to drive two 30" Cinema Displays. They sent me a version of the card that has been working perfectly for over a year. My mac reports it as Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x8 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0611 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: 3233

The video works fine with the Macs, but there is a known issue regarding the audio. The audio doesn't work with USB 3.0 ports. http://www.diamondmm.com/images/wpctvpromac/releasenotes.txt

I just bought this for a Mac. You need a Mac with an Intel core duo or core 2 duo and imovie 09. Had a terrible time getting the mac to recognize the files, finally discovered you have to lauch imovie before connecting the camera or inserting the SDHC card in the computer. As long as you do that, the movies import into imovie beautifully. Spent hours figuring that out, seems the tech support people at Panasonic should have known that. You can not put the card in, launch imovie, and import like you can for pictures in iphoto. I had it packed up to return but discovered it by chance on trying one more time.

You have to understand that the Power Mac processor has reached a sort of "end of life." It cannot run any Mac OS newer than 10.5.8 I'm not a user of recording tools, but my understanding of this processor is that it will NOT run Pro Tools 9 or newer. If you are content with older software, my guess would be that this computer would work well for recording.

Hi, the HD Pro Webcm C910 is compatible with my Mac. I just plugged it in and it worked right away. You will need to just switch to this camera in settings, changing from the built in iSight to the Logitech. I have used it with Screenflow, Hangout and Skype, worked fine with all of them. I also added a little piece of software called WebCam Settings that allowed me to make some adjustments to the image, but you don't have to. I it works fine all by itself

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 only have a couple of software programs that recognize the quickcam and they do flip the image, but don't record mirrored or non mirrored. When I bought this cam it did not have any install disc for Macintosh only windows, but it works on macs. I use Photobooth and BTV pro for Macs.

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM
