The text used to read:
 
Recorded footage from a MiniDV tape is by far the most popular source of iMovie video, but it's not the only one. iMovie 
is perfectly content to slurp in video from an iSight camera, from a DV camcorder with no tape in it, or from a 
high-definition, semi-professional camcorder. (That, after all, is where iMovie HD gets its name.)
iSight recording, for example, is destined to become an increasingly popular trick in this era of do-it-yourself video 
podcasts. As described earlier, iSight is Apple's name for its high-quality videochat camera/microphone. At one time, it 
was available only in an external model, a compact silver tube ($150) with the dimensions of a Hostess Ho-Ho.

Nowadays, however, there may be a tiny iSight lens built right into your Mac-above the screen on iMacs and MacBook 
laptops , for example. (In fact, if that's the case, you may occasionally be startled to see yourself on the screen when 
you weren't expecting to, because iMovie automatically "looks through" the built-in iSight if there's no other camera 
attached.)
