We have been very happy with the isight on our other MAC. When we decided to get our son a MAC we got him the MAC Pro Desktop so no built in isight.
Found it was not easy to get an external isight but found it at Amazon at a great price for new in the box.
The camera quality as well as the audio are unmatched in my opinion as well as the fire wire connection instead of USB.
"This cam smokes any p.c. web cam I have seen by far. "

It is ashamed Apple was forced to pulled these off of there shelves. I am grateful I was able to get mine on Amazon in the nick of time before they disappeared for good. Thank you Amazon, you have come through for me once again. I am two years late in writing a review for this Isight so actually it is a good thing because I have accidently dropped the ISight off it's magnetic base from the monitor to my desktop a few times and the Isight keeps on ticking. So that has to be a good sign that the Isight is built rock solid like all other Apple products.

Let me first say that I'm taken aback by the outrageous prices being asked by private sellers here for new, unopened units. For something that originally retailed for $149, a $490+ asking price is a bit much. Sure, it's no longer in production and is basically a collectible item now but still...
I considered buying a used one here but decided to slug it out on the bay instead and found a pristine one for about half the price of the original new selling price and it included all original parts and packaging.
I am a legacy PPC user and my machine is so old that it only supports USB 1.1. As such, my choices are very limited. There are a few firewire units still being made that are compatible but the form factor and mounting options kept me coming back to the iSight. I have tried some of the other compatible units but they all fell short in some way, be it integrated audio, picture quality or again, the mounting options. After receiving my unit and using it for a few weeks now, I can say that I'm happy with my decision.
Using Ecamm software's iGlasses with the iSight solves its color balance and low-light problems. The only thing I wish they had incorporated was a manual/auto-focus switching mechanism. Other than that, I can't complain and getting a used iSight WAY after the fact has breathed new life into this old dinosaur. For me, the iSight is still a very good camera for the PPC (and especially pre-USB 2.0) user.
Would you believe there's an inexpensive substitute available from... Microsoft? The Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera is natively compatible with OSX 10.4.9 and up (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live_Vision_Camera) The Live Vision Camera is not as beautiful and sophisticated as the iSight. It doesn't have autofocus (you focus it manually by turning the lens barrel) or a shutter to prevent unwanted video spying (instead a green ring glows around the lens when the camera is on). Still, the picture quality is excellent, the camera is much smaller, convenient and portable than the original iSight, and you can't beat the price. A great alternative to the iSight now that it is no longer manufactured.

But what else would you expect from Apple? I plugged it in and followed the onscreen direction. Within two minutes, I was looking at my picture on the monitor. Awesome!
The iSight camera gives a crystal clear image- so clear, in fact, that I decided I needed to make myself presentable before our next conference! It runs smoothly - no jerking, & within milliseconds of real time. I use this w/SKYPE to talk w/my children & grandchildren in Israel. We feel like we are in the same room. It is easy to set up, & I hightly recommend it.
