The answer is yes, but you need to install the boot camp driver in the guest to support the camera.

I am able to use the isight camera with bootcamp driver.

No camera shows up in Device Manager in XP,

Did you connect the camera to the xp from USB settings? Even without driver, there should be a unknow device present as yellow question mark in device manager.

And the When you download a BootCamp driver, the file place is: \WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple\AppleiSightInstaller

Many thanks for your assistance. I was confused as in Systems Profiler it call the camera FaceTime High High definition and the driver was labelled isight installer.  I got there in the end, thankyou
