We present an analysis of the decays B0-->K*0(892)gamma and B+-->K*+(892)gamma using a sample of about 383×106 BB[over-bar] events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy B factory. We measure the branching fractions B(B0→K*0gamma)=(4.47±0.10±0.16)×10[superscript -5] and B(B+-->K*+gamma)=(4.22±0.14±0.16)×10[superscript -5]. We constrain the direct CP asymmetry to be -0.033<A(B-->K*gamma)<0.028 and the isospin asymmetry to be 0.017<Δ0-<0.116, where the limits are determined by the 90% confidence interval and include both the statistical and systematic uncertainties.
