First Look: Microsoft LifeCam Show webcam

If you have one of the more recent iMac or MacBook models, you have a built-in webcam, embedded like a third eye into the top of your monitor. If you have a Mac Pro or a Mac mini though, you’ll need to buy a separate cam if you want to do video conferencing or chatting. Although designed specifically for Windows XP and Vista users, the Microsoft LifeCam Show is a webcam that also works flawlessly with any Mac. The most obvious difference between this one and others is its size.

Only 1.3 inches wide and 2.44 inches in height, the Show's small size makes it easy to carry or tuck out of the way. A magnet in the back of the unit gives you a choice of attaching to a clamp or a stand.
