Thanks for your help!
Hopefully Apple will get on it soon... I didn't expect this to take so long and I haven't owned a plug-in camera since 2007...
Apple has now published the "OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 Supplemental Update" to resolve the mid-2013 MBA known camera issue (and a few others.) Installing this update now should resolve your camera problem.
Apple recommends the OS X v10.8.5 Supplemental Update for all users running OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5.
Apple also recommends that all OS X v10.8.5 users apply the updated (3 October) OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
