While the iSight was removed from the Apple Store catalog, the use of {MaCam, iChatUSBCam} with Logitech webcams was stopped by the recent update of Mac OS X Tiger to 10.4.9. while browsing the web for finding an alternative, I found some US forum spreading the rumor that the Microsoft XBox 360 webcam was natively compatible with Mac OS X since the device is full Video Class compliant. I purchase one for 49 euros, and indeed it is natively recognized by iChat without the use of any patches or third-party drivers.
In addition, it seems that Webcam certified Vista compliant (featuring Vista logo on the retail box + no firmware or driver update required) should also be natively recognized by Mac OS X as they should be full USB Video Class compliant.
Warning: Some webcam manufacturers, among them Logitech and Creative, are currently offering products featuring the "USB Video Class" marketing tag, which are NOT compatible with Mac OS X. Additional information can be found : http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.htmlr
