The Apple iSight Video Conferencing Webcam with Autofocus - is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone that has a macintosh computer. it has amazing picture and video quality and it has a built in microphone.and the travel case makes it easy to take it any where with you, I own 2 of these and just love them.
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.
Wow. Everyone needs to have this as their computer cam. Just plug it in and you are off and running. Has great audio too.
As webcams go, the iSight provides the best image quality. The aperature, focus, color temperature, video gain, et cetera, are adjusted automatically based on the room's lighting conditions. 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. 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. With it, you can tweak the iSight's settings to your personal preference.The iSight and iChat AV go hand in hand. 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. Its design and build quality are top notch, too. 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.
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. iGlasses appears as a floating pallete within iChat AV. I can't imagine using one without the other.
I bought one of these for my dad for xmas and another one for myself (adhering to the one for you one for me policy). The resolution is quite good; not crystal clear of course but not too bad (we both have cable modems). We both live on different continents and I figure it would help to cut down on phone bills. Tried it out for the first time this weekend and I'm impressed. It was easy to set up, just involved getting a subscription to the.mac website (free trial 60 days, no need to put a credit card down either)., plugging it in, and typing my dad's email address as a buddy.that's it.next thing I knew he was on the screen talking with me. Pretty sweet.
