From the "I didn't think it would be that easy" department ... you can get a quick snapshot from your iSight or other FireWire camera using iChat AV:

  1. In your buddy list window, click your green camera icon to open the video preview window.
  2. Smile real BIG!
  3. Hit Command-C.
Your clipboard now contains a still frame of your beaming mug. Paste it into an e-mail to make friends and family giggle!

[robg adds: And all this time, I'd been using the capture-region commands or SnapzPro to grab those shots!]
