I'm having a blurry image quality on the Facetime HD camera! My 2013 macbookpro FT camera is sharp.
It's a serious downgrade! Tried to SMC and Pram reset, no change.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Yes, actually - mine (on a 8-core) seems a touch blurry. Definitely worse than my 2016 MBP.

Ok - so I did some playing around here:

If I open FaceTime, image is somewhat blurry.

Close FaceTime, and open Photo Booth. Picture in Photo Booth looks great - much sharper.

Now while Photo Booth is open, open FaceTime next to it. BOTH images (photo booth and FaceTime) now are more blurry.

Close FaceTime. Photo booth remains blurry.

Close Photo booth. Start Photo booth again - now it's nice and sharp again.

Completely repeatable. Not sure what's going on there - but it suggests it's a strange FaceTime software thing, as opposed to a bad camera...
 
Man, there are too many issues with the iMac Pro. Fan issues with sleep/machine getting hot and blurry Facetime in OSX, terrible GPU support in Bootcamp and several audio issues etc. Apple needs to get their act together.

If you open Photo Booth after FaceTime is open (blurry), the FaceTime image turns sharp. FaceTime then remains sharp even after you close PhotoBooth.
