Apple iSight VGA Webcam

Apple's iSight is simply a great webcam. I've seen the washed out colors of most webcams, and iSight is just a completely different animal. You do have to have a well-lit room, however. Everything is automatic, including the autofocus, which is a great feature. The built-in microphone is also of good quality. I use it so that my parents can see their grandson almost anytime.

The iSight comes with several different mounts, so that you can use it with laptops, flat-panel monitors or just as a desktop camera. If you can drop the money on it, and plan on using it frequently, it is well worth it.
