That was a post that didn't help at all Realbrick.
Anyway, your best bet is a mini-dv camcorder with firewire if using a Mac. You can get a Panasonic PV-GS320 on ebay for 100-200 bucks. If you have some spare cash though, get the AC adapter so you will not have to recharge every time the battery runs low.

Re: A camera for a mac

If a resolution of 640x480px is enough for you, I'd recommend an iSight webcam. Works fine with iStopmotion and is around $100.

not for the quickcam no
but try Istopmotoin for a different camera

Re: A camera for a mac

Unless you buy a version of windows and run it in bootcamp. But then you will have to use windows to animate and Mac preferably to edit with. However, it would cost you some money, cheaper way is just to get a mini-dv camera with firewire for Mac's iStopmotion.

Please stop creating threads like it's going out of style. All three of your topics were about the same thing. I've merged them.
