i love my iSight! its fantastic, my only complaint is you cant play with the settings (ie making it black and white etc) but i am hoping mac will make that possible soon. definately worth buying if you want to spend the money on quality

hey leah, can you use the isight with the mac version of msn?

no you cant use msn with a webcam but you can use iChat (obviously) :P
if you want to video chat with someone who is on a PC they have to use AIM and it will work with iChat

got an isight at home and one at the office. they are really cool. I especially like the shutter so you can be sure noone's spying on you, and also how customizable the setup is. It's much smaller than my old webcam and the image is much sharper and has better colour. my one complaint is that it's tough to get it to calibrate when there's not light shining directly on you.
other than that they're pretty good little devices although a bit expensive. but that's what you get for apple products.

got it, get it, its good.
no mac and msn isight love yet...mac is in bed with aol.
but isight to isight, omg
pc to mac with aim and ichat is pretty wicked.. and the full screen option is amazing...
"look ma.. im talkin to my screen.. and that person is talkin back...!" the mic built in to the isight is quite incredible.
if you are moderately goodlookin, the isight will make you sexy to women everywhere.
