Typically, they sound OK for a minute or so, except for occasional clicks.  Then you get more clicks, which start to modulate the sound, until it becomes unintelligible for a while.

My USB AT2020 has been flawless for two years' worth of podcasts -- no 
clicking whatsoever.

But the I think the OP's question was about cameras for the mini, since 
it has no camera. I'm curious about this too, as I'm using my old 
Firewire 400 iSight with an 800>400 adapter to run the iSight -- and I 
would really like something different, as I'm also using the FW400 with 
a Griffin iFire to run my G4 baseball speakers on my mini. :-)
