UPDATE 1: Having analysed the image in Photoshop since reading the comments below, I still think the inscription reads 1.3MP. As far as pricing goes, my statements on the $50 price point were merely conjecture (as should be apparent in the article). We'll be contacting Sony for clarification on both issues shortly. Thanks for being vigilant guys! I've also since been informed by people in the know that a 1.3MP camera could in fact be capable of simple facial recognition. |

I agree that it may not have much to offer as far as gameplay input. However, the ability to take Web-friendly photos and short video clips makes it a nifty item. Especially if it is capable of videoconferencing. Sadly, most of this functionality is going to require a newer firmware, so my 1.5 and I will patiently wait for a motivated homebrew coder who wants to port Skype to the PSP!

Looks cheap to me. Silver paint on plastic? If I get it, it'll be only for the motion JPEG video conferencing.

» listen sony u *****s
The PSP hackers owned you understood?? you can put those sorry excuses for us to upgrade to 3.0 or whatever ***** version u make in your ASS! you messed with the PSP users too much, thought you control everything - but in reality you don't control *****. Sony you lost, no matter how many things u patch, or how many people you hire - you will NEVER WIN, so just stop it already because you only bring losses to yourself.

this camera is crap 1.3 mega pixel same as cell phones, theres cameras that cost about the same as this that have much higher mega pixel. sony should at least make this 3.0 mega pixel because you cant see crap with 1.3 meag pixels.

» no need for a video camera
I don't care about video conferencing...unless that one company does hook us up with psp phone..that might be cool.
But anyway, Im way more interested in what they can do with games. I'm kind of confounded as to how the psp will use this in games. The original eyetoy was pretty cool with games. And it seems like they could do all sorts of things in the next gen if sony would put a few more resources into it. But I don't get what you can do if it's all about facial expression and probably swaying your neck around. They didn't really offer up much in their interview with ign. There was that one pic of the girl using her head to help bridge the way for some lemmings, but that's not too exciting.

» Oh boy
My god. I don't think they will "improve" it with more pixels. Shown is shown is thrown (on the market).
I'm really disappointed this time. I thought I could get a real multimedia device. Now this is a piece of sh*t.
1.3 MP that is really low. Even for the "low" resulution of the PSP screen. If it's really that bad I won't buy it.

why you laughing at the so called noob when your actually a noob. this camera is the prtotype of the real camera thats going to come out later this year, you know what it say on the camera it says 1.3 mega pixel so why would sony change it to a higher mega pixel when there trying to make a 1.3 mega pixel camera.

» 1.3MP isn't that horrible, guys
1280x1024 resolution is what 1.3MP translates to. Strictly looking at the resolution, that's good enough for a desktop wallpaper on most people's computer screens. The quality of that 1280x1024 image is another story altogether. What do you expect for $50? You're not going to be a professional photographer with such a piece of equipment. And, no, there is no phone on the market in the US that beats that kind of resolution for $50. It's only $50 because you have to sign a minimum one year phone plan unless you're on a pay-as-you-go plan, but then you don't get the big discount on the phone. Either way, you're paying a lot more for that phone than $50. Cell phone companies often lose money on the phone itself and make it up in airtime, accessory, and other add-on sales. It works just like the video game console biz.

nice addition, mostly for small video feeds and clips to store, but not for photography.
I'm not all that dissapointed with this, not sure why everybody starts hating on sony for stuff like this. Look for the uses before criticizing.

» What?
1.3 MP good? Hell I had a 1.3 MP Cam in a Siemens Phone. That was sh'tty. I mean really sh'tty. I don't think it makes great pictures to use as wallpapers. Btw you would have to resize them (zoom in means a loss of quality) because I don't think they make this cam a 16:9 cam. That would be really ridiculous.
I got a Sony K750i it has a 2.0 MP cam with auto-focus. This is acceptable quality for a cell phone. But hey, the PSP is 20 times bigger with much more possibilities and a better chipset. So 3-5 MP shouldn't really be the problem.
Just think about how many people would buy a PSP to have a digital camera AND a gaming-device. So what the hell do those people at Sony think they do? They lose a giant market. No new PSP customers because of this.

» I thougth it was already being used for games
I saw an IGN article a while back where they play with some demos with the psp eyetoy at E3. They thought it wasn't very sensitive but later claimed it was because of the low right at E3.
This will definitely be used for gaming. I wouldn't be surprise if it also came bundled with a mini game compilation.
