Hey folks,

I've just been using the camera on my current 21.5" base iMac for an interview over Skype, and I've noticed the camera quality isn't great, it's fuzzy at best...

I initially thought it was just Skype adjusting for lower bandwidth, but as part of the interview I was using my 2012 13" base MBP to show some of my work without losing the 'face-to-face' element of the interview, and across the same connection the quality on the MBP was astonishing in comparison.

I'm just wondering if there was a change in the webcam used across the models or if I've got a defective unit in my iMac, I've read about it happening to other people on here in the past so just wanting someone to clarify that the MBP webcam is higher quality than the iMac one for me so I know i've not got a lemon!

Cheers

David
