    Hi!
    Another of my extensive questions in preparation for purchasing the Macbook Pro as my first laptop/Mac... sorry!

    Mostly related to the iSight, for now:

    1. What is the resolution (MP) of the iSight webcam on the new MBP?
    2. How good is the video quality in video-chatting?
    3. How good is the mic?
    4. Are there any apps that I can install that lets me snap a pic of whatever the cam is looking at by pressing a certain button combo?

    1. Its 640x480 if it hasn't changed since the old macbook pro.
    2. The quality is not bad, it does not perform so well in low light conditions.
    3. The mic is pretty sensitive, good for general iChat, skype, etc. Not music recording or anything.
    4. Photo booth can do that, as well as some other apps.
