This portable camera accompanies Apple's iChatAV, an instant messaging application that also supports audio and video. Unlike other Webcams, this unit sits directly in front of the user at eye level, creating the illusion of face-to-face conversation. It also features a dual element noise-suppressing microphone and a three-part lens with a wide range of shutter speeds. The device delivers smooth, full-motion video at 30 frames per second in 24-bit color.
