Hi!
I use an iMac and iStopMotion to with a Logitech webcam c300 capture the pictures. I'm thinking of changing my current webcam because it produces light flickers (it hasn't manual settings). What webcam, camcorder or camera with manual settings in iStopMotion do you recommend me?
Good luck trying to find a fully featured webcam for Mac (Logitech are notorious for their 'support'). I am currently looking for one too, but with no luck. A good camcorder compatible with iStopmotion would probably be one from Canon's line of 2008-9 camcorders, specifically the Vixia HV30 or the Vixia HV40. I am very sure Bionicle28 uses the HV30, and to great effect. You'll be able to find them on Amazon or even eBay. On my own note, the HV30 is my desired camcorder 
!! And on the DSLR or SLR topic, unlike DragonFrame, iStopmotion doesn't support live view with them, but they are still a height quality *expensive* choise. Check out the DSLR Discussion in Software/Hardware on this site. Hopefully I helped!
I don't think any webcam has manual settings when used with a mac. I tried two logitech webcams. You can only take pictures with their software. I use a PC for stop motion.
