I seem to be having problems in my iMac G5 iSight. Sometimes it will work in Photobooth or iChat, then sometimes it won't show up as having any iSight plugged in/built in. Anyone else got this bug?
 
Once on my MB my isight went all green like green screen they used in the movies, then i stopped almost everything in the activity monitor and restarted the computer and it was fine

It seems to only happen in iChat and if I then try to see if the camera is working in PhotoBooth, it doesn't work. It's iChat related.
 
Actually, I was thinking of the external iSight, not internal. There are some problems using iGlasses and certain applications where the camera isn't detected. I've been in contact with Ecamm. They've confirmed the problem and are working to fix it.
