I'm also not having any luck with cheese and the webcam on my Acer
Aspire 5553G laptop. I can record video with ffmpeg, but cheese remains
black. Running from a terminal, I get the following output:

$ cheese 
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

The webcam shows up in lsusb as:

cheese is able to access my webcam and take pictures and video.

In sense it is fixed but as I said, now the webcam is black and white only.
Do I open a new bug ?

Go to Edit->Preferences and check the sliders under Image Properties.
The Saturation setting was turned all the way down on my install.

FYI I just installed F15-beta on a new Dell Latitude E6320 - which has a
built-in camera. I had the same issue - the camera worked under Windows7
but was black and white under F15. After finding this bug report, I
fiddled the saturation as above  said and lo! it fixed the problem

However, expecting every camera owner using Fedora to do that is a bit
of a stretch. Shouldn't this is "just magic" and just work?

For me the saturation issue was the good trick. It was set to zero...

The saturation having a wrong default value is a bug in cheese-3.0.0
which has been fixed in cheese-3.0.1, which is available in updates-
testing since today. So this should be fixed for F-15 final.

Hmmm. Before I started cheese for the first time, I was trying to add a
photo of myself to my username - via the top right-hand corner leading
to the "User Account" manager. Anyway, when I chose "take a photo" that
came up black and white too... Now that I've fiddled with cheese, it is
available in colour too

So, does "User Manager" use cheese too? They have some API in common
that's for sure. Also, I just reduced the saturation to zero (ie made
cheese B&W) and "User Manager" is B&W again too - so there's definitely
a link

Yes, the User Manager photo functionality uses cheese-libs.
