Logitech Launches Mac-Only Hi-Def Webcam

Posted by EscapeDigitalMedia


It initially seems odd that Logitech would launch a Mac-only webcam: All Macs but the Mini and Pro have a built in iSight camera. Reading the specs gives the answer -- the QuickCam Vision Pro is a significant step up in performance from the built-in option.

The two megapixel Quickcam can supply 720p video via an autofocus Carl Zeiss lens, and has a built in microphone which is hopefully better than the one in my MacBook. The camera will cost $130, and – floating eerily as it does in the product shot the Quickcam reminds us of nothing other than the Empire's Imperial Probe Droid, or Probot.
