Very good

7.2

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.2 out of 10
Reviewed by Lara Luepke
Review date: 8/25/05
Release date: 6/23/03

The good: Stylish design; flawless integration with iChat and iMovie; minimal setup required; great image and color quality.

The bad: Image settings such as focus, color, brightness, and contrast aren't adjustable; doesn't work with all instant-messaging applications; pricey.

The bottom line: With great image quality and integration, the Apple iSight is the best choice for Mac owners who use iChat, but it isn't ideal for users of other messaging clients.
