I have a Black MacBook with the built-in iSight camera. This works well with Photo Booth and Skype and is recognised by both and works with both.
Your MacBook Pro includes a FaceTime HD camera you can use to conduct video conferences with remote clients and business colleagues, but if you want to view still images or video footage that you.
On my desktop MacMini I have a Logitech USB webcam. As it is on a cable I wanted to use the Logitech with the MacBook.
I plugged it in and it is recognised as an alternative by Skype, but not by Photo Booth or iMovie. I want to use it with iMovie to make a short video of a maintenance procedure, but I can't find any preference setting that will discover the Logitech cam, let alone allow me to choose it.

When iMovie recognizes more than one connected camera, the Import window will allow you to choose between them. In addition to (sales discounted by Apple in 2006,) you can also use tape-based camcorders or other Firewire connected cameras. (USB will not work for live video into iMove.) However, because you are not pleased with the video quality of your inbuilt camera, you will almost certainly be dissatisfied with an external iSight. The resolution of these old cameras is only 640x480. You will likely be more satisfied with the video from a modern high-def camcorder. I've had good results from.
These specific models are all tape-based, Firewire-connected cameras. If you decide to use a tape-based camcorder, I suggest you at least try using it to do your recordings. Then import into iMovie when desired.
Using the camcorder alone is significantly simpler than connecting the Firewire cable and Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter needed to connect to your MBP's Thunderbolt port. Moreover, depending on your specific video application, using the camera separately may also be safer then having your Mac tethered to the external camera by the necessary FireWire cable during video recording.
