Sony releases PSP Cam

Posted on Sep 22, 06 01:10 AM PDT

To say the Sony has taken a severe beating from the harmless and docile-looking Nintendo DS would be an understatement, and this battle between both handhelds extends its borders to peripherals as well. Sony decided to release the PSPJ-15003 camera which boasts a resolution of 1.3 megapixels which strangely takes still shots in only 640 x 480 pixels. This means you're better off with most cellphone cameras in the market these days. Well at least it helps you snap an instant avatar of yourself to use when you're surfing a social network site via your PSP. The PSPJ-15003 will be released on November 2 at the recommended retail price of $44.

Well, we'll just have to wait and see. To have something to take pictures and possibly video (Possible webcam?) i think is awesome. Even if the camera is 1.3 Megapixles, i think that is just fine for use on the PSP system and for internet video. Lets hope Sony hasn't let us down!

Impossible, if a camera make 640x480 pics cant have 1,3 megapixels... that mean the camera make interpolated photos...

resuming: is a normal mobile camera (VGA)

RESUMING=PIECE OF ****!
