Anyweb cam that has OSX drivers or uses the standard device protocols.

A Cheap cam is the dynex 1.3MP usb cam they are a discontinued product but you can get them on ebay. I have not tested this cam with my mac mini yet however other users have recommended it.

I use a apple isight camera you can pick those up on ebay also. However it need to be used in a powered hub.

Macally also make usb webcam for OSX.

Tim, thanks for pointing out the Macally webcam, which retails for under $40:

Some other compatible options here:

a quote from this second link:

+"UVC is a new compatibility standard in USB2 video-chat cameras. The iSight now built into recent iMac & MacBook models is compliant. Apple's Kernel Extensions in Mac OSX Tiger & Leopard means ANY UVC based USB cam will Just Work when plugged in. No webcam drivers required."+

So look for UVC compatibility in your webcam.
