    Iite firewire Webcam
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2013*

This camera is built like a tank. It has excellent quality video. My MacMini installed the driver and some nice software, and the little camera works flawlessly with Yahoo messenger.  I bought the little camera brand new in non original packaging for $42.00 bucks shipped and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Apple got it right with this little USB Webcam.  Just plug it in and start using it within a minute or two right out of the box.

    Powerful and versatile camera
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2004*

I've had the iSight for a while now, and for the most part, I've been very pleased with it.First, the bad.  The biggest drawback is that, thus far, I have not been able to do an AV chat from my Mac with someone using AOL's AV IM client on Windows -- whenever I've tried this, both I and the person I'm trying to connect to get error messages wrongly stating that our cams are not connected.  Others have not had this problem.  I do recognize that AV instant messaging is in its infancy, so it is probably safe to assume that this situation will improve with time.Second, the camera does not include any software (not even the iChat AV client for which it is designed).  Other webcams include more generous software offerings -- and at a lower price, which brings me to...Third, the price.  The iSight is among the most expensive webcams available.  If you're on a budget, you would do well to take a look at several other webcams and compare features and reviews before deciding on an iSight.All that being said, however, the iSight is quite a camera.  It is small, lightweight, and unobtrusive, especially with the "all in one" cable.  The three included mounts make it very versatile -- if you go with another camera, you're likely to find yourself needing to buy additional mounts from third party vendors.  It is also aesthetically pleasing, if that makes any difference to you, as it does to me... a lot of other webcams are pretty unattractive.The autofocus feature has always worked nearly flawlessly for me, whether the cam is on my lap or across the room -- its ability to "find" me and focus on me is almost eerie.  The picture is also very good.  Others, including Macworld, have said they encountered trouble in low light, but I have not had this problem.  I typically use the cam in my living room, with a single 150-watt bulb lighting the room from about two meters away, and the picture is fine.  I've even sent images by candlelight that looked good (albeit only at pretty close range).The iSight can also be used to make sound and video files, and while it obviously doesn't offer the power or versatility of a digital camcorder, it's still a pretty good tool for this task as well, especially when used with Apple's QuickTime Broadcaster (a free download) and iMovie.If the iSight were about thirty dollars less and included more software, I'd have given it five stars.  Apart from those caveats, though, this is an excellent camera, and one well worth your consideration.

Apple you cruel mistress. This camera uses a 6 pin firewire cable, which is now totally outdated... good luck getting it to connect to anything.
