iSight

Sorry don't have answer to your question as I don't have one (yet!).

I would really appreciate it though if you could you give us a little insight into the dimensions of the camera, and the different mechanisms for attaching it to the displays! i.e. from what you can see, can the camera be attached to non-Mac displays, or indeed older generation powerbook displays.

Oh man, that is one seriously cool setup you have. Many thanks for the pictures. The iSight looks really nice.

I hope you get the heating issue sorted.

Cheers

robotrenegade, does the firewire plug have 4 or 6 pins?

I'm wondering if I could use it on a Windows XP box with firewire port.

 

it cant be a 4 pin, because then it would need external power supply, so its 6 to 6 pin. a friend called me up with his isight and it didnt look to great, so ill have to play with it when it comes in. but i wasnt that impressed

Can you use the isight with imovie?

 

Could someone who has an iSight please post a screenshot of the video, maybe a link so we can see the full quality? That would help a lot. Thanks!

maybe later

 

So, only works with ichat??

 

i have one and it owrks with all the current webcam programs. I'll post a clipon my site later of mpeg4 at medium quality.
