 Apple - Hardware - iSight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
iSight is a state-of-the-art video camera that’s the easiest way to video conference with your colleagues, friends and family over broadband.
iSight’s lens can autofocus as close as 50 mm (2 inches) or infinitely far, so whenever you’re in front of your camera, your image is always sharp and clear.
iSight also includes an on-board processor that automatically adjusts white balance, sharpness, color, focus and exposure and filters out noise to ensure that the transmitted picture is bright and focused and color is true in any light conditions.

 ONLamp.com -- Making Movies with the Apple iSight
The iSight is a well-designed autofocus camera with a fast f-2.8 lens that focuses from 50mm to infinity.
As good as the microphone is that's built in to the iSight, it's designed to be close to the sound source, such as when it's attached to your computer, and you're talking into it.
But when using the iSight as a video camera, it will be too far away from your subject to serve as a decent audio input device.

 ATPM 9.10 - Review: iSight
The iSight is known as the “eyes and ears of iChat AV.” We both researched the product and determined that it made an ideal communications solution.
Although the iSight can capture images at 640 x 480, at 15 fps over iChat AV the camera delivers images to the viewer at 176 x 144 and scales up to 352 x 288 at 30 fps on a very fast connection on a high-performance Mac.
Since the iSight is specifically designed to work with Macintosh computers, it may be safer to find a good USB camera and microphone for a PC.

 Teleran - iSight
iSight delivers a continuous and comprehensive audit of dynamic business intelligence, data warehouse and enterprise reporting environments, enabling companies to understand and optimize how users interact with applications, data and system resources.
With iSight you have an instant edge: a tactical and strategic roadmap to increase performance, enhance information security and compliance, as well as reduce costs and improve both business and support staff productivity.
Because iSight uniquely maintains a continuous awareness of not only user behavior and application activity, but also data usage, it fills a gap that database administration and system level performance monitors do not address: understanding and managing applications and users versus monitoring system resources.

 Amazon.com: Apple iSight Video Conferencing Webcam with Autofocus -M8817LL/B: Electronics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
iSight is made out of the same aluminum alloy as the 12" and 17" PowerBooks, which makes it incredibly durable while keeping it extremely lightweight (weighs just 2.3 ounces).
Another thoughtful touch is a little cylinder to store/protect the iSight when you take it on the road.
One area where the iSight could be improved is control over manual adjustments.

On your Mac, iChat AV automatically launches when the iSight is plugged in, and if you don't already have an iChat account, iSight will launch a dialog box that guides you through the account setup.
We also found it simple to use iSight with iMovie; plug it in and select it as your camera.
iSight and iChat work wonderfully together: sound quality was crisp and clear; the microphone even picked up a conversation happening five feet away.

 Macworld: Review: FireWire Web Cams
But the iSight is the new kid on the block; FireWire Web cams have been around for a couple of years.
The iSight's built-in microphone was dramatically different from any other in terms of sound quality, and it proved to be one of the camera's best features.
The iSight comes with a snug-fitting, hard-plastic case for travel, and the whole apparatus fit neatly into the cell-phone pouch in a laptop case.

 iSight mounts and iMac G5s | clagnut/blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Well I could, sort of, if I used the adhesive mount which came with the iSight, but I don’t want to stick anything to my nice new hardware (even if Apple do their best to assure us the sticky stuff is reusable and leaves no mark).
Sure I could fork out yet another 25 quid on the iSight Accessory Kit which includes the magnetic mount as well as all the other mounts and leads I already have.
It’s much, much cheaper than buying any of the other options available for mounting your iSight, and the implementation on the iMac G5 is just brilliant.

 MacSlash | iSight: The First Five Minutes.
The iSight's packaging was just as cool as that of the iPod, a split cube that opens to reveal the manual on the left, covering the stands, and then on the right, the camera and carrying case covering the firewire cable.
It's not a perfect solution, as it requires that you use a computer that is both capable of video iChat and being left alone at all times, which is a bit of a kludge.
The reason, I would now guess, is that they did not want to have a PR fiasco where people buy these iSights in droves thinking they can now record video to their iPods based on some rumor of a hidden feature on a MacWeb site somewhere.

Ultra portable: iSight is made out of the same aluminum alloy as our new PowerBooks, which makes it incredibly durable while keeping it extremely lightweight (weighs just 2.3 ounces).
I've used USB cams before that had cost at least as much as the iSight and they did not even come close to the quality of it.

 MacFixIt - iSight FireWire interference
Tom Schuman "Prior to the iSight 1.0.2 updater my three daisy-chained external firewire hard drives (plugged into one of the firewire ports on a dual 1.42 GHz Power Mac G4) disappeared when an iSight camera was plugged into a firewire hub that is plugged into the other firewire port on the Power Mac G4.
After some hassle I was able to mount the drives again with the iSight unplugged; I did not lose any data on the hard drives.
The only way to avoid the drives from disappearing when the iSight was plugged in was to dismount each firewire drive and disconnect the drives from the firewire port on the Power Mac G4 prior to plugging in the iSight camera.

The iSight benefits from the extra light but is still underexposing slightly.

 Think Secret - iSight disappears awaiting new model; original AirPort card discontinuation boosts prices
Apple's iSight has quietly been missing from action these last few weeks as dealer stock has dried up with no further units are expected until September.
Reliable sources indicate that "iSight 2" is in production, but internal documents provided to Think Secret indicate that the camera's feature set remains unchanged.
Given the incremental improvements that webcams go through, Think Secret believes the new iSight will simply contain updated mounting hardware to attach magnetically to Apple's new displays, as noted on this Apple page.

 MacFixIt - A reminder about iSight FireWire Interference
I have swapped the connection points for the iSight and the drive, and replaced the Firewire cable - with no improvement.
"I disconnected the iSight: Result everything works absolutely normally: interestingly (for those who have said the issue is around current consumption through the FireWire port), both drives are now connected (in series) and work fine.
As noted in our mini-tutorial Minimizing FireWire (iPod, iSight) interference there are a number of workarounds for this issue, including switching FireWire ports, using an externally powered FireWire hub, isolating the iSight on its own FireWire bus, power cycling the system and devices, applying the latest iSight firmware update and more.
