mmh, I don't really know about lengths. I think there is a limit to how long your firewire cable should be. I usually work with analog cameras in linux where cables can be long ad I capture with a pci card. I think a cheap option that I've seen working well with macs is the unibrain fire-i: http://www.unibrain.com/Products/VisionImg/Fire_i_DC.htm
you can buy lenses and chain them, not more than 30fps though,

Hello list,
I'm looking for a good camera (FireWire or USB) working on MacOSX with Pd and GEM. This camera will be used to track people in a closed space with lights. Do you know a good model for this application (industrial camera ?) ? Thanx. ++
