it adjusting the imagne is all done by software, i'd much rather invest in something like this which will enchance the image mainly through adding more light THEN maybe a program like that.

Just by using that the image would we all washed out and grainy looking.

I just tried it, and it isn't washed out or grainy looking at all. It's absolutely amazing...I never need to turn on a light for iSight ever again!

Yep, me too. I've tried it and it works AMAZING!!!!! It'd be worth for 8 dollars.

The program is worth a try it might help. Just finished downloading.

how does the night vision work? i assumed it just bumped the brightness way up, but it says you can use it in total darkness, so how does it do that? can it actually use the iSight as an infrared camera?

don't know quite what you mean there, but if you think it's limited to iSights, it's nnot. Works with all web cameras.

I think he refers to the requirements to be able to use iSight with iChat.

from Apple site
Requires iChat AV Software (not included), Mac OS X v.10.2.5 or later, 600MHz G3 processor or higher, Broadband Internet connection.
