Below are user recommended cameras and their experiences with each.

Some of them have also submitted their images showing the quality of image from their cameras in both day and night conditions with their cameras set at factory default. If a camera has no feedback, it simply means no one has commented on it yet, it may very well work fine for iVisit.

Video Blaster WebCam NX PRO It has a built in mic and "should work" with the Macam driver on OS X. IOXperts offers no support for this cam. A lot of people report that the stand is no good and it does not clip to many flat panel displays as the package claims, the cam is light and easily tips over unless the USB cable is balanced, built in Mic doesn't always work either. The fps on this cam is not very impressive, the most i've seen out of it is 5 but 10 appears to be possible. Sample image

L'espion This cam is actually smaller than a box of matches. Amazing, but true! It works as a web cam. And a regular digital still camera. It works on PC's and Macs, including Mac OSX Classic mode. Apparently, it even works with Linux!

iRez Kritter Good mobile-laptop solution (on PCMCIA Card) that works well in good light. Sometimes tricky to focus and at times the claw foot doesn't hold it too well on laptop lid. Gets 32pfs @ Quality 7 in iVisit.
Using the iRez Capture Card (PCMCIA) with a JVC DV1 Digital Video Camcorder into Mac PowerBook G3, OS 9.1, QT 5.0.2 adds S-Video and Composite inputs to laptop. Image quality is superb and also good in low light levels. Gets 32fps @ Quality 7 in iVisit. krittercam on a G4 is tricky focus. I like it though. it's small and I think the claw foot is versatile.
 
KB Gear JamCam    
Kensington 4014 Cam User input:
It works with some applications with the basic Macam driver from SourceForge.net, but if you install the re-compiled driver from this site; http://homepage.mac.com/lonsing/macam/  with QuickTime hardware ID's included, it removes the "stutter" and it works great with iVisit even on my 56k dialup.  It does require a good light source or the picture will be dark. It works well in daylight. I have an old 450Mhz tower, OSX 10.3.8 but it should work on any OS 10.2.6 w/ QT6.x on up.

EZ200 The quality is very good and it's easy to use and install. It takes 64 pictures in this quality and 128 with a lower resolution. It's also possible to make a 10 second video-clip but without sound. Satisfied for all the features at such a small cost.

QuickCam Pro Notebook The face-tracking mode tries to recognize the face/head and zooms/pans to keep it centered. Has one hi-res mode for still pictures, only. Has a button on the camera to trigger snapshots. It's designed to mount on a thin laptop display. Won't hang on a flat-panel or sit on a flat surface. A simple stand solved the problem. Sample image

QuickCam Pro 5000 works on pc, no drivers for Mac OS 9 or X from logitech. Macam offers limited support on the latest 5000 models, none on the older ones. IOXperts still working on 5000 drivers. So there is maybe a 5% chance you can get this cam to work on a mac OS 9 or X Sample image

On a Mac G4 533DP was getting between 28 and 33 fps when using OS 9.1

Tested it with my PowerBook G4 12. The image is a little dark - perhaps, but other than that, it works.
