Chotto Shot for the trigger-happy, now out |
Ó
The Chotto Shot is now available from Play-Asia for approximately US $ 49.90. It even has a neat little carrying case that comes with it. With a 1.3 megapixel lens that can capture both still shots and videos, the price is pretty reasonable considering that it even comes with its own photo-editing software.
What we'd like to know now is this: can this little baby can be incorporated into your homebrews? Makes you think, doesn't it? Anyone want to take the challenge?

What firmware does it requires?
I'm soo getting this so that it will be easier for me to record vcs on my other psp. lol I NEED this!
I am on 2.71 se-b' and I have not yet seen any camera options in the XMB.
I too would like to know how you use the camera and does it require the latest firmware.
How would you run homebrew on it if it does req 2.81....
Anyhow its a neat toy but how do you use it!!!!!!!
I would also like to say that 1.3 megapixels means it will never be able to ever replace a real camera which is a dissapointment. I was really hoping for 3MP+. Oh well, I guess that leaves them room to come out with yet another product later.
i am going to get this if you can run it on 2.71 or below
if not ill consider upgrading on reveiws
Pricey!
it is a USB camera that goes on top o the PSP. It comes with a UMD and you use the UMD to take the pics/videos. Also on the UMD, it has editing software. Pictures are saved under PSP/PHOTO and i think vidoes are put in the MP_ROOT folder encoded in mp4.
i hope it doesnt take enough time untill its in europe! record videos take pics thats damn hot!!
when does this come out in the UK and what about the GPS
1.3 megapixels? you must be kidding me right? this probably takes the most blurry pictures a camera can take. Also my cellphone has a camera which came on it FREE and it's 4 megapixels. Sony, you srewed up bigtime, noone will buy this crap.
i bet the UMD it apparently comes with requires like 2.81 or something so u probably need to update for it to work.
I know.
1.3 is crap when it comes to cameras.
My Cell even does 1.7, and it's old.
For one 1.3MP is plenty enough.
You rarely ever use the source pictures from those high MP cameras. Its just not necessary.
1.3MP pictures are perfect for uploading to the internet. You wont have to open them up in a editing program just to make them smaller and thus making them look like you took them from a 1.3MP camera anyways.
Well, yeah, i have 1.3 MP on my 'Cell' and im happy with it. Good job Sony
yep hes right!!! much easier for myspacers
1.3 MP is pathetic. Most cell phones come standard with at least a 2 MP camera. Also, 1.3 isn't all that great for use online since you can't really make out detail for anything to take pictures of.
People it doesn't matter how much megapixels it has.
If yuo have a camera phone with 680x320 pixels or so then you would know that it looks better, even with 1.3mp. So that would mean considering the PSP screen is huge, the pics will look like 3mp, but the video might look awful because it only lets you record in a lower setting than the acual screen itself.
Only thing is... will they release a firmware upgrade by this weekend?Cause the Camera folder is empty?How would it run?Yes UMD is an opinion but they mention nothing of the sort anywhere that it will be on there...
I can't believe that person just said interwebs. Thats the most moobiest word that is possible to use...
does this work for the US PSP ????????
its not like that. read the reviews. it is better than u think. even though it is 1.3 the pic still looks like it is a higher res.
Yea he is right do....... It will look like 3.00mb mayb...becouse of the psp screen size
Hope it works w/ 2.71 SE-B
this is sweet
most people are rite about the 1.3mp being enough, ur not gonna be looking at a huge pic and 99.99% u gonna resize the pic anyways, its about the quality of the pic
Actually, it matters quite a bit. Not everyone is going to keep the pictures from this camera on the PSP.
the camera operates like a game when you run the included UMD
the UMD requires 2.81 but similar to GRAN THEFT AUTO VICE CITY STORIES, you can use DevHook to Run the UMD then use the camera for pictures and video.
I want to know if the editing software it comes with is in english as well....anyone know?
$50!! Chill out guys - it's a piece of software coupled with a camera! What, you expected a 7mp camera capable of 1600x1200 resolution for that price?
The camera's a cheap, small, little add-on. It comes coupled with software that probably would retail for $20 normally. Have any of you bothered to check out what camera's retail for now-a-days? I'll give you a hint - $30 is a really good price for a brand new digital camera, regardless of the resolution.
I'm thinking all the professional photographers on these forums are not going to be purchasing this add-on so they can take photos with their PSPs. For the rest of us that want to have a portable video camera, I'm not sure that this is the worst case scenario at all. Still curious about the firmware required to run it, though... We'll see I guess...
--Databoy2k
i bet it been incorporated all along and you just plug it in and a camera pops up in the photo menu
So im guessing when you do video and need the sound too, you just have to use the psp headset and remote? man thats gonna be awkward
too bad i cant buy this @ lik-sany anymore
by looking at the picture, it looks like the camera is faced at the user of the psp. does the camera maybe flip over to face the other way?
and do you figure they will incorparate this into a game or anything like eye toy for psp or something?
I hope you can copy the software to your mempry stick, I dont want to carry the umd and boot it just to take a picture.
you - hey mind if I take a picture
people - sure
you - hold up I have to load up this umd
I think that if we wait a week or 2, logitech will release a 3+(hopefully) mp logitech-psp camera that also looks nicer and can also take better videos. Unless of course the resolution is fixed by the firmware itself(i think this is distinctly possible).
The camera has a mono microphone built in
wtf, 1.3 megapixels sucks ass
Omg man, cant (some) of you people come up with a reasonable argument on how this "sucky" add-on (which no one is forcing you to buy btw) ...but still, stop being a flamer, unless you can make something better of course.
thats right i agree too
Thats so hilarious.... waiting for 6-8 seconds to load umd then for the camera to show screen then take the pic
U set them straight databoy2k
thats a 1280×1024 picture, more then enough for using with blogs or web based use. And anyways, if you think its crap, dont buy it, and stop whining.
Heres an example of a pic you could take with that $50 "crap" camera: http://www.jatowada.or.jp/kabegami/1(1280-1024).jpg
Jesus christ, do u REALLY need to see the fibres in ur clothes? jeez, open up at 6 MP on yur comp and ull be like, "HOLY CRAP, I DIDNT TAKE A PIC OF A MINE FEILD!!!" then u'll zoom out and see it was ur face. 1.3 is fine, or do you all REALLY need to see THROUGH those fibres to see the skin underneath because you are JUST. THAT. LONELY.
yes.
wtf kind of a name is chotto shot? sounds like someone describing a dead pet
Anybody hear a release date for this in the US?
when is this out in canada like in shops
they could have done 2mp no problem at the same size my SE w810 is small with a 2mp camera. and it has image stablizing
i work at a warehouse that ships these and tested one on my 2.71 psp works perfectly fine go ahead and buy!
If this can incorporated into homebrew and the video function of this camera is unlocked, I'm thinking this could be used as an iToy of some sort. It wouldn't use the whole body since the PSP is so small, but you could use your finger to play mini-games
lol sony didnt make it it said it was from sum asia tingy
erm... wtf.. dude. you don't have to be a liar.. there's no camera phone out on the market that's 4megapixels..the max is 3.2 megapixels.. 1.3mp is okay, a 2.0 mp would be better.. but seriously, shut up if you have nothing to say.
yo does dis work for 2.82? and did any of u guys even buy dis ting yet?
seriously, you must have been dropped on your head twenty four times at birth then had your brain replaces with sh*t... 1.3mp is 1280x1024 resolution, BIGGER THAN YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN DIPFACE! also, the camera didnt come free, since you payed for the mobile retard, what are you, 10 years old?
The PSP Camera comes with 2.82 firmware and
i took some 2 sample snaps and uploaded them here.
Check them out
http://blog.livedoor.jp/gai_jin/archives/50669689.html
looolll 1.3 megapixel, i got 2.0 megapixel on my cellphone, why would i wanna buy sucha crap for my psp?? It makes it only bigger, especially because it's onlye 1.3 MP.. Sony's stupid man, if they just put on a nice deacent camera i think more people will buy it, i considered it, but i won't... 1.3 megapixels moehaha
What the hell is moobiest????
That's the point, r*tard. It's a joke.
Yeah, Lik-Sang was the only website that sold PSP stuff on the Internet...
[/sarcasm]
It's Japanese you f*cking r*tard.
It means "Quick shot", by the way, according to an earlier article.
Chotto in Hindi (an Indian Language) means "small"
I wonder how they got an Hindi word in?
wtf kind of a name is quick shot? sounds like someone describing porn
1.3 MP is fine *****weeds, because you're ugly.
TO the D!ck that thinks 3.2 mp is the max please click this link

to a 5mp PHONE IDOIT
Cool stuff coming first to Japan and the US... and europeans - again - have to wait.. and wait.. Play-Asia.com won't ship it to europe... they don't want to get their assez kicked by a bunch of Sony-Lawyers.
Does anyone know anything else at all about this product. Im going to buy it but I hope it doesn't come in Japanese language.
.. do you really think it's a crisp clear 1280x1024? You can't honestly think that. If you want a good clear image you need more than 1.3 megapixels; by far. I'm not even satisfied with my 3 megapixel camera at resolutions higher than 640x480.
thee cammera is fine ansd the videos are longer than 15 sec ghey are 5 min
What firmware does it requires? its 3.0?
Interwebs interwebs interwebs...that word has been around for awhile now, smacktard.
can you please tell me how to get the camera to work? all i get when i run the software is a camera lens with an "X" in front of it. And I can't read japanese. I want to take video of my kids. Can you please help me?
the chotto shot is 1.3mp so what , if you liked go and buyed if you don't judge
does anyone know when it will be out at stores like best buy, toys rus, eb games, etc in Canada
u are required to have 2.82 firmware but if u have have 2.71SE-B like me, there is a flash for it. goto pspbrew.com for details and info!!
am buying it it sounds really kool and i can take pics of my girl freind and it works on 3.00so thats good.
is this out
3.0 or higher firmware
can someone tell me of the chotto shot is in english as well?
First of all, megapixels doesn't neccicarilly mean higher resolution. The more megapixels, the more megapixels, the more it can be stretched before becoming pixelized (grainy). 2 cameras can take pictures at 1280x1024, PSP camera and some Canon, for example. Canon has 8.0 and the lesser has 1.3. Stretch the Canon picture up to who knows hpw many times, but the attachment camera's pic won't stretch much.
Second of all, the UMD is only needed to edit photos, not take. With the UMD though, you might be able to take with added effects. But just to get the picture, no UMD required.
Last of all, it's intended as a "webcam." I don't literally mean a webcam for chatting (though it may come as a feature later on); I really mean sort-of multipurpose. It's made to just meet your needs. It's is not intended as a digital camera replacement.
retarded. What are we, 7 year olds? Go cry somewhere else, it just makes me NOT want to read comments.
I wish I could pay someone cash and have it in my hands now. Could someone point me at a 2MP USB webcam? Anyone? ohhhh yea, probably a design issue. Notice how Logitech JUST came out with the 1.3 models... and you MUST use USB2.0 for anything over 640x480@30fps for video, which this does.... So.. basically they are giving you the BEST technology available for cheaper than Logitech can provide. With a nifty case to keep your ass from breaking it.
50 bucks? a f-ing STEAL! Just in time for the holidays. I truly expected a $100 price point.
