absolutely! i use my isight all the time to video chat with my sister in michigan and other friends who are away at school in other states. i even hook my macbook up to a 42 inch tv via the mini dvi-vga adapter and set the macbook on the tv stand so the person im chatting with can view the whole room. it works really great, the quality of the video is really good, also the microphone is amazing, it picks up your voice even when youre across a large room. i use it multiple times per week and there's plenty of others who do too, thats why its now standard to have a camera on most notebooks...
