After listening to the advice of the list on which webcam to get, and finding it surprisingly difficult to find a webcam that has a corresponding driver from the source forge repository - I've decided to hire an Apple i-sight from college for the weekend to see how I get on with it before committing to the £80 odd for a purchase!
It's working so far, except when I open the settings via the [dialog( message, PD (or perhaps rather the config panel) freezes, then shortly afterwards quits.
(OS X 10.4, PD-0.38.4-extended-RC7, GEM 0.90.0)
You are using an unknown and unsupported version of GEM. There is no final release which supports the video control panel, although it works just fine in the current CVS. Your only options right now is to either not use the dialog and wait for an updated release or build GEM from CVS.

That's quite strange, cause I'm using exactly the same version of PD and GEM and the camera dialog works fine for me (the help patch says "only on windows" but in fact it works). I have OS X 10.4.3 and QuickTime 7.0 (dunno if it is important).
