Discontinued but still great for older Macs August 28, 2010
L. Williams (Clearwater, FL, USA)
Apple may have stopped making the iSight as a standalone webcam a few years ago, but I still use mine with my Mac Pro and 30" Cinema Display and it works wonderfully. The video and sound it sends to my Skype connections is superb. Apple has recently incorporated tiny built-in iSight cameras into their modern laptops, iMacs and now their newest Cinema Displays, so the standalone iSight isn't required--but if you're old-school and can't abide by the ultra glossy glass screens of the new monitors, opt for the good old iSight if you can find a used, refurbished or new version of it, and use one of the older matte screen monitors.
I find the iSight superior to just about any of the USB cams on the market, and like all things Apple, it just works, without having to install drivers or mess with settings. It comes with a standard Firewire 400 cable, so if your Mac only has Firewire 800 you'll need a 400-800 adapter or a cable with 400 on one end and 800 on the other.
Armed with the iSight and Skype or iChat, and you're ready to video chat with the world.

So i am not sure if they stopped making i-sights because new MacBooks have it built in or because it was some kind of health hazard, either way i needed it and so do thousands of apple owners. Thanks for the fast transaction.
this is the cam September 30, 2005

iSight is an ideal complement to iChat AV February 20, 2005

As webcams go, the iSight provides the best image quality. Its design and build quality are top notch, too. The iSight uses a Firewire connection, not USB, for improved performance.
The camera comes with four different mounting devices (stands and clips) to use it on a desktop, atop your monitor, or attached to your notebook computer's LCD screen. Another thoughtful touch is a little cylinder to store/protect the iSight when you take it on the road.
The iSight has two internal noise-cancelling microphones that provide crisp, clear audio. The folks with whom I videoconference have remarked that I sound like I'm in the same room as they.
One area where the iSight could be improved is control over manual adjustments. The camera normally works in auto mode. The aperature, focus, color temperature, video gain, et cetera, are adjusted automatically based on the room's lighting conditions. But I've found that there are times when the picture is a bit too dark or too bright, or the hue is a tad too red or blue. Fortunately, there's a cool $8 shareware utility called iGlasses (do a Google search to find it) that gives you full manual control over the camera. iGlasses appears as a floating pallete within iChat AV. With it, you can tweak the iSight's settings to your personal preference.
The iSight and iChat AV go hand in hand. I can't imagine using one without the other.
