Does anyone have a recommendation for a web cam to be used on a mac with opencv?

While OpenCV will work with essentially any USB webcam, there is a great deal of variety in image quality. I have personally had excellent luck with the PS3 Eye Cam in Ubuntu after removing the casing. Even though it is only $25-50, it can run up to 125 Hz and is less susceptible to motion blur. I am not sure how the open source Mac OS X drivers compare to the Linux drivers, but it is worth consideration.
