I paln to buy iSight but not sure if I should buy or wait. I gather that it has not been updated for quite a time.
I can wait couple of months more. But I don't know if it is going to be updated. What your idea is? Machine:PowerBook 12" Processor:1.5GHz PowerPC G4 Memory:1.25GB HD:100GB OS:Mac OS 10.4.8 Entertainment:iPod 4G Memory:20GB Last edited by naashraf : 2006-07-17 at 22:12. |

I had a sneaky suspicion that a while back Apple would add Photobooth software to the iSight. I, however, decided not to wait. I bought my iSight 6 months ago and I love it.
I suggest you do the same. I can't see them updating the iSight. If they do, I don't see it being a huge upgrade. No one really knows. Buy it. You know you want to Deal with it. |

The only reason it would be worth waiting to buy an iSight was if you were planning on buying a Mac with an iSight builtin soon.
I sincerely doubt they'll put any new dev into the standalone iSights... they want people to buy the new Macs. Webcam hardware hasn't changed much at all in years, and the software... well, that's where the new Mac thing comes in. |

OK. I guess the longest I would wait is August 7. I highly doubt that they will update it on Aug 7 though. Aug 7 does not seem that far

I managed to buy one here in the UK about a week before they were pulled from the shelves. We cannot get them online anymore either - it was something to do with some 'substances' that are not allowed in EU products...

I'd just wait until WWDC, just to see what happens. The chance of the iPod getting updated is pretty small, but it could always get a price cut or something. With the entire Mac lineup getting built-in iSights, I wouldn't be too surprised to see that happen.

Hmm...the only thing I can see happening to the iSight is a price drop (to $99, which is probably where it should have been two years ago).
I think the next Cinema Displays will have one built-in. That said, the stand-alone iSight totally owns the built-in ones. It has this miniature built-in lens cover. It's so awesome. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |
