Odd...then apparently the MBA's iSight camera has a 1.3 megapixel camera too? But why does the picture/video quality look bad, then? What else is going on here--and can any of it be fixed/improved with future software/firmware updates, maybe? I don't want to jump to conclusions just yet, but this iSight issue is reminding me of the "negative black" phenomenon associated with week 36/37 iPod touches. By the time I got my "week 38" iPod touch, Apple had put out a firmware update of some kind that helped improve picture quality and get rid of the negative black phenomenon that people were talking about. It made some folks happy and other folks, well...not so happy...because there was evidence that suggested there was a physical problem with those first two batches of iPod touches and what those people wanted was a replacement iPod touch, not a firmware update, to fix devices that had physical problems, not programming/software ones.
I know this case is different--I'm assuming that there's nothing physically wrong with the iSight camera in the first MBA's that folks have gotten, and the resolution of the MBA's iSight camera is what it should be--but yeah. Can't help thinking back to that "negative black" issue anyway. 😟
