I'm looking for hardware to interface a video camera to a mac.  I would
like to be able to digitize people's faces, and save them in either mac
paint or PICT format.  Color is not a necessity.

I currently know of two products, "Computer Eyes" by Digital Vision,
and "MacVision" by Koala.  Has anyone had any experiences with any of
these products, or can anyone recommend others?

Both Computer Eyes and MacVision claim that scanning time is about 6
seconds, or longer for higher resolution scans.  Does this mean that
the person being digitized would need to sit perfectly still for 6+
seconds?

Thanks!
