I tested a  QImaging (www.qimaging.com) Firewire camera and was
impressed by how well the ImageJ plugin worked and how full-featured it
was. They have ImageJ plugins for Windows and Mac OS 9 and are working
on one for Mac OS X. The ImageJ plugin, the Photoshop plugin and their
stand-alone capture program all work the same way. "Live" preview at
1300x1000 is sluggish but they are supposed to be working on an option
for previewing using 2x2 binning (650x500) with capture at the full
1300x1000 resolution.
