My girlfriend has a Powerbook G4/667MHz VGA. She now lives a large distance away from me for the time being and I would like to purchase her a webcam for use with iChatAV. I had planned on getting her an iSight but they are discontinued and very expensive now.
I then saw that the latest OS X update allows for USB web cams.

I was looking at getting that. It seems affordable, good, and small. It uses USB1 which is all the PowerBook has besides firewire but will the USB1 vs iSight FW actually result in worse quality?
I have just found an iSight on the used market for $125.
What do you think?
