Logitech releases Mac-only webcam; cats, dogs reported living together

Apologies to Dr. Peter Venkman, but it’s hard to believe that it’s taken that towering for a webcam vendor to encroach on the vacuum left by the discontinued iSight, even though we have hints that a new model of the Apple camera might be on the HD horizon. Logitech has now announced the QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac, featuring “premium autofocus technology and Carl Zeiss(R) optics.” No word on whether the camera will

feature fine Corithinan leather or Posi-traction, but there’s hope.

Seriously, though, the camera does offer a voice coil motor for autofocus, RightLight exposure technology and a 2 megapixel sensor; that should allow for VGA-quality (640×480) videoconferencing and 720p HD (960×720) local video recording. Snazzy! Logitech expects to ship the unit in July for an SRP of $130.
