Hi-Def Webcams For Mac OSX

HD webcams for Mac seem to be the rage http://ping.fm/kxYbI - but 720p and 1080p video requires a FAST Macintosh, a FAST internet pipeline - and apps that can handle HD modes intelligently. FYI: The majority of video chat programs for OSX still use 640x480 VGA frame sizes - or lower to assure good frame rates. Careful what you wish for - HD is insanely demanding of computer resources and internet bandwidth.
