I have had my mac for around 9 months now and I don't think I have used the iSight camera except for taking initial pictures for the log-in icons. Can anyone tell me any applications that you use the iSight camera with? I use MSN messenger but I don't believe I can have live video chats so I'm trying to see what use it is having this webcam built in.

Thanks,
 
photobooth and ichat are the main purposes..
i really never use mine, but my friends always seem to for photobooth
 
Using the iSight Camera

Yes, I use mine quite often......As a mirror for shaving 🙂

Never have in the past year and probably never will.

Before I even had a Mac, I had a HP with a cam on it and never used the cam once.
 
I use it for "Post your last purchase" and "Post the t-shirt/top you are wearing right now."

Don't have a "Significant other" at the moment.

That's about it.
 
Apart from obtaining pictures for posting here it's only ever used for Skype, but I suppose that's a yes.
 
For Skype a couple of times, and for Delicious Library (I downloaded the demo and became hooked.. I currently have about half my books in it, and scan a few each night 😀).
 
rarely, but sometimes.

I've made a few Youtube Video Blogs with it, taken pictures and webcammed with it. Would probably use it more if Adium supported video chat. But alas, it does not.
