message: Apple killed the iSight at today's Back to the Mac conference. It is now known as "Facetime camera". Jobs kept referring to a feature of the Macbook Air as "Facetime Camera" - http://www.macstories.net/news/things-apple-killed-today/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.141.222 (talk) 10:41, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with "FaceTime" page 

message: This article needs to be reformatted and edited to account for the different resolutions and types of iSight cameras (ie: External iSight, Internal PPC iSight, Internal Intel iSight).
The new Intel based Macs have 4x the resolution as previous models (www.apple.com/imac/isight.html  :: The righthand column under 
"Multi-way chat"  states this).
This article needs a new picture of the old iSight camera.   The current picture shows the camera attached incorrectly, with the plastic mount blocking part of the screen.   If should be reversed, with the smaller part of the plastic mount over the aluminum border around the screen,  the larger part hangs over the outside of the LCD, with the thumbscrew allowing the user to tighten it down onto the aluminum laptop casing -- not tightening onto the delicate LCD screen as shown in the current picture.   Several pictures on the Apple product page show the correct installation: http://www.apple.com/isight/
* I belive that pic is showing an iSight camera on a flat panel iMac G4. That mounting hardware required you to use it backwards in order to get to stay on. That being said, I agree that a different picture should be used. The article also needs to be updated to account for the built-in iSight camera utilizing USB 2.0, not Firewire. Also, the Intel iMacs have 4x the resolutoins of all previous iSight models while the MacBook Pros have 2x the resolution. I won't be able t get to it until later this week so anyone who wants to get on it please knock yourself out. :-) Pattersonc 21:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New iSight Camera 

message: Would someone please change the iSight photo to one in which the camera mount is not backwards? The mount, and wire, are supposed to go behind the display, not in front of it. - Brian Kendig 05:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Camera mount is backwards in photo 

message: Not the right place to ask this, perhaps, but I'm wondering whether a Mac user with an iSight can video/audio chat with a Windows user using some other kind of camera.  Is iChat AV the only Mac chat software that works with iSight?  If it makes a difference, I'm referring to the external FireWire iSight. LeoO3 17:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Interoperability? 

message: "As of December 16, 2006, the iSight was no longer for sale in the Apple online store or in retail locations."
Found this wiki trying to look up this:
http://agent.liquiddigital.com.au/
Looks similar to, but not exactly the same as, the wiki iSight picture. They call it one, though. Anyone who knows whether this should (under Wikipedia rules) be mentioned on the main article, please update accordingly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.215.102.63 (talk) 03:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:    retail iSight? 

message: I removed two rumors: one that the iSight was discontinued due to environmentalist pressure from Greenpeace, and one that future Apple displays will include a built-in cam.  Unless reliable, verifiable sources point to this, those statements don't belong here. White 720 (talk) 20:24, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rumors removed 

message: The iSight is not a past-tense thing.  Therefore when the article starts off with "iSight was a webcam developed and marketed by Apple Inc.", it's factually incorrect.  Agree? Brianreading (talk) 15:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article tense?

message: There are rumors of people being able to hack into MacBooks and gain access to the iSight camera, to use it as a surveillance camera, more or less. Any truth to this? --Kebman (talk) 05:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  iSight Hack 

message: Quote from the article:
: “With the LED-Backlit MacBook Pros, Apple has moved to using a sensor capable of 1280x1024 pixels, but when accessed using provided APIs, the image is re-sampled to 640x480 pixels. However, Quartz Composer allows access to the 1280x1024 pixel video stream. The built-in iSight can also be used in the Photo Booth application.”
I can find no other references to the Quartz hack; can anybody else? Also, with a short period of playing in Quartz Composer.app, I was unable to access any sort of HD stream from my iSight. I’m on a newest-model MacBookPro 15″. ELLIOTTCABLE (talk) 06:27, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  LED MacBook Pros, and access to the HD iSight stream

thread_title:  Typo error in third paragraph 

message: I added the paragraph "iSight vs. FaceTime" on announcement of the release of the iPad 3rd gen, where it was clearly mentioned in the March 2012 keynote as the "iSight Camera". The question is, was this the FIRST time Apple first talked about the back camera now being called the "iSight"? 
I notice here that the current specs page on their website for both the iPhone 4 & 4S (4: http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-4/specs.html / 4S: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html ) have the term used on them — but was this done retrospectively near the release of the third gen iPad? 
Note here also, that the iPad Touch specs page does NOT refer to the back camera being an iSight Camera (http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html ), so I'm pretty certain this is a retrospective naming by Apple on the other iPhone/iPad iDevices. 
I checked the Apple keynote videos (available on iTunes), and they do NOT refer to the camera on either iPhone releases (4/4S) as being an "iSight Camera", so I am presuming this re-naming has been done recently. Thoughts welcomed. --Jimthing (talk) 11:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
